Opis:
Canthaxanthin (β,β-carotene 4,4' dione) used widely as a drug or as a food and cosmetic colorant may have some undesirable effects on human health, caused mainly by the formation of crystals in the macula lutea membranes of the retina of an eye. Experiments show the exceptional molecular organization of canthaxanthin and a strong effect of this pigment on the physical properties of lipid membranes. The most striking difference between canthaxanthin and other macular pigments is that the effects of canthaxanthin at a molecular level are observed at much lower concentration of this pigment with respect to lipid (as low as 0.05 mol%). An analysis of the molecular interactions of canthaxanthin showed molecular mechanisms such as: strong van der Waals interactions between the canthaxanthin molecule and the acyl chains of lipids, restrictions to the segmental molecular motion of lipid molecules, modifications of the surface of the lipid membranes, effect on the membrane thermotropic properties and finally interactions based on the formation of the hydrogen bonds. Such interactions can lead to a destabilization of the membrane and loss of membrane compactness. In the case of the retinal vasculature, it can lead to an increase in the permeability of the retinal capillary walls and the development of retinopathy.

Theoretical velocities of binary liquid mixtures of 1-bromopropane with chlorobenzene at 2 MHz and four different temperatures 303.15, 308.15, 313.15 and 318.15 K, have been evaluated as a function of concentration and temperature. The experimental values are compared with theoretical models of liquid mixtures such as Nomoto, Van Dael-Vangeel, Impedance Relation, Rao’s Specific Velocity Method, Junjie’s relations and Free Length Theory. In the chosen system there is a good agreement between experimental and theoretical values calculated by Nomoto’s theory. The deviation in the variation of U2exp/ U2imx from unity has also been evaluated for explaining the non ideality in the mixtures. The results are explained in terms of intermolecular interactions occurring in these binary liquid mixtures.

Opis:
The electro-optical Kerr effect finds wide application in conformational analysis of molecules and molecular aggregates [1–5], particularly in cases where the standard X-ray and NMR techniques cannot be used. For instance, NMR allows to establish conformations of linear and cyclic unsaturated organic compounds. However, it is less effective in an analysis of molecular complexes, particularly of those that have several rotational symmetry axes. In such cases a combination of techniques based on molecular dipole moments, electro-optical Kerr effect, optical Kerr effect, IR spectroscopy, and Rayleigh scattering can be applied [6]. The foundations of conformational analysis of molecular complexes using several complementary physical approaches are developed in Ref. [7]. The electro-optical methods are particularly useful for an investigation of intramolecular interactions [8–18]. The strength, direction and other details of intramolecular interactions can be determined by analyzing the deviations of the experimental molar Kerr constant (mK) from its value calculated according to the tensor-additive scheme that operates with polarizability tensors of molecular cores and functional groups [19, 20]. For instance, using this approach it has been shown that weakening of conjugation in an electron donor-acceptor chain can lead to flattening of the molecular structure [21]. The Kerr constant is also very sensitive to intermolecular interactions [22–29]. In order to assess quantitatively an extent of the solvent effect on the mK values, both molecular and continuum models of solution structure have been used [30, 31]. The mK values are greatly affected by the mutual orientation of solvent and solute molecules, which interact by dispersive, inductive and dipole-dipole forces [32]. Hydrogen and donor-acceptor bonding have an even stronger influence on the mK values [33]. The equimolar mixtures approach developed in Ref. [34] allows to determine the molar Kerr constant (mK), dipole moment (m), equilibrium constant (K) and, ultimately, structure of a molecular complex based on measurements of the Kerr constant (B), dielectric permittivity (e), density (d) and refractive index (n) of a series of dilute solutions of the complex. Future trends in the development of the electro-optical methods in chemistry are discussed. Theories that relate the electric-optic proprieties of molecules with their reactivity are particularly important. Such theories should be able to predict the changes in the polarizabilities and dipole moments of bonds, molecules and molecular aggregates during the course of chemical reactions.

Opis:
A tentative procedure applied to the search for a new antagonist of neurokinin A (NKA) is presented. In parallel a tentative 3-D model of the NK2 receptor was created, using bacteriorhodopsin (BRD) as a template. The residue substitutions were performed in BRD to obtain the sequence for NK2R_H and the seven a-helical segments were optimized forcing the a-helical backbone to match the corresponding aligned parts of BRD, while the arrangements of the side chains were model built based on available site-directed mutagenesis studies. Constrained MM and molecular dynamics simulations were carried out H-bonding a low energy conformer of the known drugs to residues in the receptor site, allowing both the receptor site and drugs to relax. The Connolly surface for each ligand allowed to determine an "average" binding site in which all the low energy conformers of known and prospective drugs were docked and classified according to a statistical index. The whole procedure was repeated exploiting the lately published structure of an actual G protein coupled receptor as a better template, thus producing a cavity in the binding site to directly dock the drugs. Corollary validations of the force fields used are also mentioned. In addition intra- and intermolecular interactions suitable to produce more active drugs were evaluated.

2,4-Dinitroanisole (DNAN) has excellent properties as a replacement for 1,3,5-trinitrotoluene (TNT) in melt-cast explosives, and the polymeric modifier used is critical to the mechanical modification of the DNAN/RDX energetic composite. In our research, the typical polymeric modifier acrolein-pentaerythritol resin (APER) was successfully added experimentally to the DNAN/RDX system, and the effects of interfacial interactions on the mechanical properties of these polymers in reinforcing the DNAN/RDX energetic composites were investigated by molecular dynamics simulations, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mechanical testing. The results showed that strong attractive interactions exist between the polymer and the explosives, wherein van der Waals forces were found to play the main role. The morphological micro-images also showed tight binding between the polymer/explosive interfaces, which supported the calculated strong interfacial interactions. The mechanical tests confirmed that adding the polymers can obviously reinforce the mechanical strength and toughness of DNAN/RDX systems. The above observations revealed that the cooperative effects of the APER polymer can help to reinforce the interfacial interactions and mechanical properties of DNAN/RDX composites, which is of importance in the formulation and mechanical evaluation of advanced energetic composites.

From the calculated maximum bond length (Lmax) of the N−NO2 trigger bond, the cohesive energy density (CED) and the binding energy (Ebind), it was found that the CL-20/DNB co-crystal is more insensitive than its composite. Its thermal stability is also better than that of its composite. The pair correlation function (PCF) analysis method was applied to investigate the interfaces between different molecular layers in the CL-20/DNB co-crystal, and in the composite. Additionally, the calculated mechanical data showed that the moduli of the CL-20/DNB co-crystal and its composite are smaller and their elastic elongation and ductility are better than those of the ε-CL-20 and DNB crystals.

The calculation method of the molecular dynamics has been applied to study the correlation of the kinetic energy fluctuations and the relaxation time of the velocity autocorrelation function and the phonon relaxation time in a crystal. On the basis of the molecular dynamics data for silicon crystal obtained at different temperatures in the range 200 K – 1000 K the correlation between the kinetic energy fluctuations and the relaxation time of the velocity autocorrelation function has been calculated with the relatively high coefficient of determination R2 = 0.9396. The correlation obtained and the corresponding approach substantiate a use of the kinetic energy fluctuations for the calculation of values related to the heat conductivity in the silicon based semiconductors (coefficients of thermal conductivity and diffusivity).

Opis:
Proteins are an essential component of living cells. Proper understanding of the properties of their structure is crucial to understanding their function in nature. The proteins and their fragments may exist in four states of structure organization: ordered, molten globule, pre molten globule and random coil. The particular function of proteins depend on any one of these states or a transition between them. A significant proportion of proteins in nature is composed of a mixture of ordered and intrinsically disordered regions, that fulfil important roles in the processes like signal transduction, cell cycle regulation and many others. The standard approach for rational drug design does not work for intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and requires modified strategies. Furthermore, the majority of proteins with long intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) use short molecular recognition elements (MoRFs), which undergo transition from disorder to order state and adopt various structures in numerous protein protein interactions. These interactions are an attractive therapeutic target for the pharmaceutical industry in the process of rational drug design.
Białka są podstawowymi składnikami żywych komórek. Prawidłowe rozumienie cech ich struktury przestrzennej jest kluczowe dla zrozumienia ich funkcjonowania w organizmach żywych. Białka mogą przebywać w czterech wyróżnionych stanach organizacji struktury przestrzennej: uporządkowanym, stopionej globuli, pre-stopionej globuli i kłębka statystycznego. Funkcje białek mogą być związane z każdym tych stanów, a co ważniejsze, z przejściami pomiędzy tymi stanami. Znacząca liczba białek w przyrodzie zbudowana jest z mieszaniny rejonów uporządkowanych oraz samoistnie nieuporządkowanych, które pełnią ważne role w procesach przekazu sygnału, regulacji cyklu komórkowego i wielu innych. Standardowe podejście do racjonalnego projektowania leków nie sprawdza się w przypadku białek samoistnie nieuporządkowanych (IDPs) i wymaga zmodyfikowanej strategii postępowania. Jednym z atrakcyjnych celów terapeutycznych dla przemysłu farmaceutycznego są krótkie fragmenty łańcucha aminokwasowego pełniące funkcje elementów rozpoznawania molekularnego (MoRFs), które porządkują swoją strukturę w różnorodnych i licznych oddziaływaniach z innymi białkami. Charakterystyczną cechą MoRFs-ów jest ich częste występowanie w rejonach samoistnie nieuporządkowanych łańcucha polipeptydowego.

Opis:
Deltorphin I (Tyr-d-Ala-Phe-Asp-Val-Val-Gly-NH_2) and dermorphin (Tyr-d-Ala-Phe- -Gly-Tyr-Pro-Ser-NH_2) are natural opioid peptides that have been isolated from the skin of South American frogs [1]. The presence of d-amino acid is crucial for their biological activity. The synthetic analogs of given heptapeptides containing l-alanine are not analgesics [2]. Analysis of the influence of stereochemistry on molecular packing, dynamics and biological functions of neuropeptides is still important for receptor studies and practical applications (e.g. design of new selective pain killers). Presented research is focused on the structure and dynamics of two N-terminal sequences of dermorphin: tripeptide Tyr-d-Ala-Phe 1, tetrapeptide Tyr-D-Ala-Phe-Gly 2, and their analogs with l-alanine: Tyr-Ala-Phe 3 and Tyr-Ala-Phe-Gly 4, using solid state NMR and X-ray diffraction. This study clearly demonstrates that 1 and 2 crystallized under different conditions to form exclusively one structure [3, 4]. In contrast, tripeptide and tetrapeptide with l-Ala in the sequence very easily form different crystal modifications. Tyr-Ala-Phe 3 crystallizes into two forms: 3a and 3b [5], while Tyr-Ala-Phe-Gly 4 gives three modifications: 4a, 4b and 4c [4]. It seems that one of the factors, which can be important in the preorganization mechanism anticipating the formation of crystals, is the intramolecular CH-đ interaction between aromatic rings of tyrosine and/or phenylalanine and the methyl group of alanine. Such interaction is possible only for d-Ala residue. For l-Ala in the peptide sequence, the methyl group is aligned on the opposite side with respect at least to one of the aromatic groups. It can be further speculated that such internal CH-π contacts can also occur during the interaction of ligand–receptor, making the message sequence of opioid peptides more rigid and finally selective. By employing different NMR experiments (e.g. PISEMA MAS and PILGRIM) it was proven that the main skeleton of analyzed peptides is rigid, whereas significant differences in the molecular motion of the aromatic residues were observed [4, 6]. Solid state 2H NMR spectroscopy of samples with deuterium labeled aromatic rings: Tyrd4-d-Ala-Phe 5, Tyr-d-Ala-Phed5 6, Tyrd4-Ala-Phe 7, Tyr-Ala-Phe^d5 8 was used to analyze the geometry and time scale of the molecular motion. At ambient temperature, the tyrosine ring of sample 5 is rigid and in the sample 6 the phenylalanine ring undergoes a "π -flip". The tyrosine rings of form I of 7 and 8 are static, while the phenylalanine rings of form II of 7 and 8 undergo a fast regime exchange [6]. Variable temperature 2H measurements proved that the tyrosine and phenylalanine rings of two forms of compounds 7 and 8 became more mobile with increasing temperature. In contrast, the aromatic rings of samples 5 and 6 preserve their dynamics regime (static tyrosine and "π -flip" phenylalanine) in a large range of temperatures [6]. The analysis of 13C, 15N labeled tetrapeptide Tyr-D-Ala-Phe-Gly 2’-phospholipid membrane interactions suggests that peptide 2’ is aligned on the surface of the membrane (RFDR MAS) and the sandwich-like π -CH_3-π arrangement of the pharmacophore is preserved (DARR) [7].
