Derivation of class II force fields. VI. Carbohydrate compounds and anomeric effects

Biopolymers
M J HwangA T Hagler

Abstract

The methodology for deriving class II force fields has been applied to acetal, hemiacetal, and carbohydrate compounds. A set of eighteen model compounds containing one or more anomeric centers was selected for generating the quantum mechanical energy surface, from which the force field was derived and the functional form assessed. The quality of the fit was tested by comparing the energy surface predicted by the force field with ab initio results. Structural, energetic, and dynamic properties (vibrational frequencies) were analyzed. In addition, alpha and beta anomeric equilibrium structures and energies of 2-methoxytetrahydropyran, 2-deoxyribose, and glucose were computed at the HF/6-31G* and higher ab initio levels. These calculations provide test data from molecules outside the training set used to derive the force field. The quantum calculations were used to assess the ability of the class II force field and two quadratic diagonal (class I) force fields, CVFF, and Homans' extension of the AMBER force field, to account for the anomeric effects on the structural and energetic properties of carbohydrate systems. These class I force fields are unable to account for observed structural and energetic trends, exhibiting deviations...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
