چکیده
Ab initio calculations together with vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) are validated as very accurate tools for studying conformations and estimating conformational energies and helical handedness preferences of an entire, large (112 atoms), abiotic foldamer.

The A Priori Prediction of Vibrational Circular Dichroism Spectra: a New Approach to the Study of the Stereochemistry of Chiral Molecules
A theory of Vibrational Circular Dichroism (VCD) has been developed by the author and implemented at the ab initio self-consistent field (SCF) level of approximation. VCD spectra calculated from this theory for several small chiral organic molecules are in excellent overall agreement with experiment, when basis sets of adequate sophistication are used and when the ab initio SCF force fields are...
متن کاملAb Initio Simulations of the Vibrational Circular Dichroism of Coupled Peptides
The vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) of peptides in different conformations was simulated using the magnetic field perturbation (MFP) model for the model dipeptide CH3-CONH-CH2-CONH-CH3. The geometry was optimized in the 4-31G basis set with the torsion angles constrained to mimic the a-helical, @-sheet, 310-helical, and polyproline I1 conformations. An effective mass was used for the appro...
متن کاملQuantitative first principles calculations of protein circular dichroism in the near-ultraviolet
Vibrational structure in the near-UV circular dichroism (CD) spectra of proteins is an important source of information on protein conformation and can be exploited to study structure and folding. A fully quantitative theory of the relationship between protein conformation and optical spectroscopy would facilitate deeper interpretation of and insight into biophysical and simulation studies of pr...
متن کاملVibrational circular dichroism spectroscopy study of paroxetine and femoxetine precursors.
The solution structures of (3R,4S)- and (3S,4R)- 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-hydroxylmethyl- 1-methylpiperidine, which are intermediates in the synthesis of the two pharmaceuticals paroxetine and femoxetine, were studied by vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy. In addition, six derivatives with different substituents attached to the C3 atom were prepared and their VCD and absorption spect...
متن کاملSimulation of Vibrational Spectra of Large Molecules by Arbitrary Time Propagation.
Modern ab initio and multiscale methods enable the simulation of vibrational properties of very large molecules. Within the harmonic approximation, the traditional generation of the spectra based on the force field diagonalization can become inefficient due to the excessive demands on computer time and memory. The present study proposes to avoid completely the matrix diagonalization with a dire...
