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 sub-Angstrom resolution X-ray crystal structures of CTX-M \u3b2-lactamase, representing three stages of the enzymatic pathway, apo protein (0 ...

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.

Pseudo-Jahn-Teller origin of the low barrier hydrogen bond in N2H7+ [PDF]
The microscopic origin and quantum effects of the low barrier hydrogen bond (LBHB) in the proton-bound ammonia dimer cation N2H7+ were studied by means of ab initio and density-functional theory(DFT) methods.

Contribution of a low-barrier hydrogen bond to catalysis is not significant in ketosteroid isomerase. [PDF]
Low-barrier hydrogen bonds (LBHBs) have been proposed to have important influences on the enormous reaction rate increases achieved by many enzymes. Δ(5)-3-ketosteroid isomerase (KSI) catalyzes the allylic isomerization of Δ(5)-3-ketosteroid to its conjugated Δ(4)-isomers at a rate that approaches the diffusion limit. Tyr14, a catalytic residue of KSI,

Direct evidence of a low barrier hydrogen bond in the catalytic triad of a Serine protease. [PDF]
AbstractSerine proteases are one of the largest groups of enzymes, found in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, and are responsible for many different functions. The detailed information about the hydrogen-bonds in the catalytic triad (Asp…His…Ser) of these enzymes is of importance in order to fully understand the mechanism of action. The aspartate of the

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 ...
