Vibrational analysis on the revised potential energy curve of the low-barrier hydrogen bond in photoactive yellow protein [PDF]
Photoactive yellow protein (PYP) has a characteristic hydrogen bond (H bond) between p-coumaric acid chromophore and Glu46, whose OH bond length has been observed to be 1.21 Å by the neutron diffraction technique [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.

Low-Barrier Hydrogen Bond in Fujikurin A-D: A Computational Study. [PDF]
The compounds Fujikurin A, B, and D, recently isolated from Fusarium fujikuroi, possess intramolecular low-barrier hydrogen bonds (LBHBs), which are hydrogen bonds with a very low-energy barrier for proton transfer. The isolated compounds have a hydrogen-bonded proton that appears to rapidly switch between two equilibrium states via a transition state (

Ligand-Induced Proton Transfer and Low-Barrier Hydrogen Bond Revealed by X-ray Crystallography. [PDF]
Ligand binding can change the pKa of protein residues and influence enzyme catalysis. Herein, we report three ultrahigh resolution X-ray crystal structures of CTX-M β-lactamase, directly visualizing protonation state changes along the enzymatic pathway: apo protein at 0.79 Å, precovalent complex with nonelectrophilic ligand at 0.89 Å, and acylation ...

Interrogating Low Barrier Hydrogen Bonds with Neutrons, X-rays, and Computation [PDF]
Low barrier hydrogen bonds (LBHBs) are H-bonds where the barrier to proton transfer from the donor to the acceptor atom is comparable to the quantum mechanical zero-point energy of the interaction, resulting in proton delocalization.

Distinction between low-barrier hydrogen bond and ordinary hydrogen bond: a case study of varying nature of charge assisted hydrogen bonds of diglycine perchlorate crystal [PDF]
Hydrogen bonding is a complex phenomenon that is a resultant of many energy components like the electrostatic, dispersive, covalent, charge cloud overlap repulsion etc, nature of hydrogen bond (H-bond) depends on which of these components play a dominant

Low-barrier hydrogen bond in photoactive yellow protein [PDF]
Low-barrier hydrogen bonds (LBHBs) have been proposed to play roles in protein functions, including enzymatic catalysis and proton transfer. Transient formation of LBHBs is expected to stabilize specific reaction intermediates. However, based on experimental results and theoretical considerations, arguments against the importance of LBHB in proteins ...

Absorption wavelength along chromophore low-barrier hydrogen bonds
Summary: In low-barrier hydrogen bonds (H-bonds), the pKa values for the H-bond donor and acceptor moieties are nearly equal, whereas the redox potential values depend on the H+ position. Spectroscopic details of low-barrier H-bonds remain unclear. Here,

A New Low-Barrier Hydrogen Bond System: Free-Base Corrole Anion [PDF]
Free-base corroles have long been known to be acidic, readily undergoing deprotonation by mild bases and in polar solvents. The conjugate base, however, has not been structurally characterized until now. Presented here is a first crystal structure of a free-base corrole anion, derived from tris(p-cyanophenyl)corrole, as the tetrabuylammonium salt.
