Intramolecular OHO Hydrogen Bonding in Dibenzoylmethane Enol: Raman Spectroscopic and Quantum Chemical Study

open access: yesMicro, 2023
In the present work, the intramolecular O-H···O hydrogen bonding in 3-hydroxy-1,3-diphenylprop-2-en-1-one (keto-enol form of dibenzoylmethane, DBM) was investigated.

Mechanism for Degradation of Nafion in PEM Fuel Cells from Quantum Mechanics Calculations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We report results of quantum mechanics (QM) mechanistic studies of Nafion membrane degradation in a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell. Experiments suggest that Nafion degradation is caused by generation of trace radical species (such as OH ...

Proton-mediated photoprotection mechanism in photosystem II

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Photo-induced charge separation, which is terminated by electron transfer from the primary quinone QA to the secondary quinone QB, provides the driving force for O2 evolution in photosystem II (PSII).

Superprotonic phase transition of CsHSO4: A molecular dynamics simulation study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The superprotonic phase transition (phase II --> phase I; 414 K) of cesium hydrogen sulfate, CsHSO4, was simulated using molecular dynamics with the "first principles" MSXX force field (FF).

Low-barrier hydrogen bonds in enzyme cooperativity

open access: yesNature, 2019
The underlying molecular mechanisms of cooperativity and allosteric regulation are well understood for many proteins, with haemoglobin and aspartate transcarbamoylase serving as prototypical examples1,2. The binding of effectors typically causes a structural transition of the protein that is propagated through signalling pathways to remote sites and ...

Effect of quantum nuclear motion on hydrogen bonding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This work considers how the properties of hydrogen bonded complexes, D-H....A, are modified by the quantum motion of the shared proton. Using a simple two-diabatic state model Hamiltonian, the analysis of the symmetric case, where the donor (D) and ...

Mechanism of Selective Ammoxidation of Propene to Acrylonitrile on Bismuth Molybdates from Quantum Mechanical Calculations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In order to understand the mechanism for selective ammoxidation of propene to acrylonitrile by bismuth molybdates, we report quantum mechanical studies (using the B3LYP flavor of density functional theory) for the various steps involved in converting the

On the electronic nature of low-barrier hydrogen bonds in enzymatic reactions [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1998
The electronic nature of low-barrier hydrogen bonds (LBHBs) in enzymatic reactions is discussed based on combined low temperature neutron and x-ray diffraction experiments and on high levelab initiocalculations by using the model substrate benzoylacetone.

Direct Observation of Early-stage Quantum Dot Growth Mechanisms with High-temperature Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) exhibit highly desirable size- and shape-dependent properties for applications from electronic devices to imaging. Indium phosphide QDs have emerged as a primary candidate to replace the more toxic CdSe QDs, but production of
