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 ...

Isotopic fractionation in proteins as a measure of hydrogen bond length [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
If a deuterated molecule containing strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds is placed in a hydrogenated solvent it may preferentially exchange deuterium for hydrogen.

Hydrogen Bonding Constrains Free Radical Reaction Dynamics at Serine and Threonine Residues in Peptides [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Free radical-initiated peptide sequencing (FRIPS) mass spectrometry derives advantage from the introduction of highly selective low-energy dissociation pathways in target peptides.

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 ...

A candidate LiBH4 for hydrogen storage: Crystal structures and reaction mechanisms of intermediate phases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
First-principles calculation and x-ray diffraction simulation methods have been used to explore crystal structures and reaction mechanisms of the intermediate phases involved in dehydriding of LiBH4. LiBH4 was found to dehydride via two sequential steps:

Efficient urea electrosynthesis from carbon dioxide and nitrate via alternating Cu–W bimetallic C–N coupling sites

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Electrocatalytic urea synthesis is an emerging alternative technology to the traditional energy-intensive industrial urea synthesis protocol. Novel strategies are urgently needed to promote the electrocatalytic C–N coupling process and inhibit the side ...

Structural Relevance of Intramolecular H-Bonding in Ortho-Hydroxyaryl Schiff Bases: The Case of 3-(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylideneamino) Phenol

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
A new Schiff base compound, 3-(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)phenol (abbreviated as BHAP) was synthesized and characterized by 1H- and 13C- nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopies.

From ab initio quantum chemistry to molecular dynamics: The delicate case of hydrogen bonding in ammonia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The ammonia dimer (NH3)2 has been investigated using high--level ab initio quantum chemistry methods and density functional theory (DFT). The structure and energetics of important isomers is obtained to unprecedented accuracy without resorting to ...

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.

Lancifodilactone G : insights about an unusually stable enol [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
From quantum mechanics calculations we confirm that the naturally occurring enol lancifodilactone G is stable over the keto form (by 2.6 kcal/mol in water), the only known stable aliphatic enol (devoid of conjugated or bulky aromatics and lacking a 1,3 ...
