Two-component organic crystals without hydrogen bonding: structure and intermolecular interactions in bimolecular stacking

Combined electrostatics and hydrogen bonding determine intermolecular interactions between polyphosphoinositides.

Membrane lipids are active contributors to cell function as key mediators in signaling pathways controlling cell functions including inflammation, apoptosis, migration, and proliferation. Recent work on multimolecular lipid structures suggests a critical role for lipid organization in regulating the function of both lipids and proteins. Of particular interest in this context are the polyphospho...

Nucleobase-fluorobenzene interactions: hydrogen bonding wins over pi stacking.

Knowledge-based model of hydrogen-bonding propensity in organic crystals.

A new method is presented to predict which donors and acceptors form hydrogen bonds in a crystal structure, based on the statistical analysis of hydrogen bonds in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). The method is named the logit hydrogen-bonding propensity (LHP) model. The approach has a potential application in identifying both likely and unusual hydrogen bonding, which can help to ration...

Computational study of three dimensional potential energy surfaces in intermolecular hydrogen bonding of cis-urocanic acid

Hydrogen bonding, base stacking, and steric effects in dna replication.

Understanding the mechanisms by which genetic information is replicated is important both to basic knowledge of biological organisms and to many useful applications in biomedical research and biotechnology. One of the main functions of a DNA polymerase enzyme is to help DNA recognize itself with high specificity when a strand is being copied. Recent studies have shed new light on the question o...
