Quantum Chemistry Calculations Provide Support to the Mechanism of the Light-Induced Structural Changes in the Flavin-Binding Photoreceptor Proteins.
The proposed mechanisms of photoinduced reactions in the blue light using flavin chromophore photoreceptor proteins are primarily based on the results of X-ray crystallography and spectroscopy studies. Of particular value are the observed band shifts in optical and vibrational spectra upon formation of the signaling (light-induced) state. However, the same set of experimental data has given ris...
متن کاملA QM/MM study of the binding of RAPTA ligands to cathepsin B
We have carried out quantum mechanical (QM) and QM/MM (combined QM and molecular mechanics) calculations, as well as molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study the binding of a series of six RAPTA (Ru(II)-arene-1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphatricyclo-[3.3.1.1] decane) complexes with different arene substituents to cathepsin B. The recently developed QM/MM-PBSA approach (QM/MM combined with Poisson-Bol...
متن کاملQM/MM Minimum Free Energy Path: Methodology and Application to Triosephosphate Isomerase.
Structural and energetic changes are two important characteristic properties of a chemical reaction process. In the condensed phase, studying these two properties is very challenging because of the great computational cost associated with the quantum mechanical calculations and phase space sampling. Although the combined quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) approach significantly reduc...
متن کاملPhotophysics of structurally modified flavin derivatives in the blue-light photoreceptor YtvA: a combined experimental and theoretical study.
The light-induced processes of two flavin mononucleotide derivatives (1- and 5-deaza flavin mononucleotide, 1DFMN and 5DFMN), incorporated into the LOV domain of YtvA protein from Bacillus subtilis, were studied by a combination of experimental and computational methods. Quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations were carried out in which the QM part was treated by density funct...
متن کاملSelf-healing mechanism of metallopolymers investigated by QM/MM simulations and Raman spectroscopy.
The thermally induced self-healing mechanisms in metallopolymers based on bisterpyridine complexes of iron(II) sulfate and cadmium(II) bromide, respectively, were studied by means of combined quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) simulations and Raman spectroscopy. Two possible healing schemes, one based on a decomplexation of the cross-linking complexes and a second one relying on th...
