Calculated Interaction Energies

2D-QSAR, CoMFA, and intermolecular energy calculations on substrates of papain were compared. All three methods indicate that the meta substituents should be oriented according to their hydrophobicity, not according to size. In all respects, the three approaches were complementary. 

Molecular mechanics interaction energies of complexes of HIV protease inhibitors also showed good correlations between binding energy and inhibitory potency as well as good predictive ability. The Merck workers report that the interaction energies calculated with the Merck Molecular Force Field gave a correlation superior to that calculated via a commercial force field. 

Recently, the k Jk of a series of substrates for HIV-1 protease was shown to be correlated with the difference between the interaction energies of the tetrahedral intermediate and the enzyme-substrate complex.228 As with work noted above, correlations were better when the substrates were subdivided according to the position of substitution. The rf ,. for the eight compounds that vary from the PI to P receptor subsites was 0.93, that for the 14 that vary from P2 to P2 is 0.79, whereas for the 21 compounds that vary from P4 to P3 falls to 0.44. The authors point out that since the calculations ignore entropy, the larger errors of the compounds that vary in P4, P3, and P3 probably are due to the larger conformational freedom of substituents in these pockets that are partly exposed to solvent.

Calculations were performed within the periodic DFT model, using the VASP code[8] (the same computational strategy as in Ref. [9] was adopted, including the B3LYP correction). Thus, calculated interaction energies are of the B3LYP quality and they include ZPVE correction. The unit cell of FER fitted previously was used [10] UC...

This chapter is intended to provide basic understanding and application of the effect of electric field on the reactivity descriptors. Section 25.2 will focus on the definitions of reactivity descriptors used to understand the chemical reactivity, along with the local hard-soft acid-base (HSAB) semiquantitative model for calculating interaction energy. In Section 25.3, we will discuss specifically the theory behind the effects of external electric field on reactivity descriptors. Some numerical results will be presented in Section 25.4. Along with that in Section 25.5, we would like to discuss the work describing the effect of other perturbation parameters. In Section 25.6, we would present our conclusions and prospects.

The interactions of diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP) with model MgO and CaO surfaces have been investigated using density functional (DFT) and Mpller-Plesset second order perturbation techniques [67]. Geometries of considered complexes were fully optimized at the DFT level. The calculated interaction energies and the corresponding thermodynamic properties show that DFP is physisorbed on these two model oxide surfaces and the adsorption on the MgO surface is stronger.

Calculated interaction energies for K-DMSO systems are significantly lower in comparison with two other studied systems (e.g., it is about 50 % comparing with the D-FA system) (see Table 3). It reflects the fact that the DMSO molecule is less stabilized with respect to the surface of the mineral than... 

Correlation between calculated interaction energies of intercalated systems at the B3LYP/3-21G and the number of H-bonds, experimental interlayer distances [109, 114, 134] and calculated (B3LYP/3-21G ) molecular volumes of intercalated molecules ... 

Calculated interaction energies (corrected for the basis set superposition error and ZPE) are relatively large and amount to 9.8 kcal mol-1 by B3LYP and 8.9 kcal mol-1 by CCSD(T) methods. Harmonic vibration frequencies calculated for monomers and the complex are in reasonable agreement with experimental data241. Agreement is good for IR band shifts due to complexation and isotopic substitution. 

Table 3. Comparison of the experimental enthalpies of interaction with the calculated interaction energies as given in Tables 1 and 2.

Intermolecular interactions in the gas phase have been measured in a series of cases using mass spectrometry 134-147). From the temperature dependence of the equilibrium constants, besides the free energies, the enthalpies and the entropies of the involved reactions were evaluated. The corresponding data are useful for comparison with the results of theoretical calculations (see Table 3). In order to compare the calculated interaction energies with the measured reaction enthalpies, a series of contributions has to be taken into account. Concerning these correction terms some inconsistencies arise in the literature. Therefore the list of them is given here in detail according to Ref. 148) ... 

The observed structural differences between the octahedral and tetrahedral surfaces are also reflected in calculated interaction energies. The first row of Table 12-4 shows interaction energies obtained from static relaxations. The interaction energy for the octahedral surface is much higher (in absolute value) than for the tetrahedral surface. It has to be noted that these interaction energies are not corrected by thermal contributions. We computed thermal factors from molecular dynamics simulations. The energy of adsorption for one water molecule was calculated according to...
