Confinement potential hydrogen

From the starting structures (PDB file), the full complement of hydrogens is added using a utility within CHARMM. The entire protein is then solvated within a sphere of TIP3P model waters, with radius such that all parts of the protein were solvated to a depth of at least 5 A. A quartic confining potential localized on the surface of the spherical droplet prevented evaporation of any of the waters during the course of the trajectory. The fully solvated protein structure is energy minimized and equilibrated before the production simulation. 

Quarkonium in a monochromatic field can be considered as an analog of the hydrogen atom in a monochromatic field, in which Coulomb potential is replaced by Coulomb plus confining potential. 

For R - oo, the hydrogenic system with the confining potential in Equation (2.2) tends to the free hydrogenic system, and the energies tend to... 

In some cases, the nucleus may not be at the centre of the confining potential. If there is rotational symmetry about the line of nuclear displacement, the elliptic coordinates may lead to separable solutions. For example, in the case of a hydrogen atom with the nucleus at the focus (0,0, —R/2) of a confining ellipsoid, one can take the elliptic coordinates of the electron as... 

R2(Vo) = j and rp (0) for the 2p state of the confined hydrogen atom as a function of Ro under confining potentials given by Vo as 10,50,100, and oo. The upper set displays the variation of m (0). The lower set of curves represent the ratio R2(Vo). Thus, the variation of the property of convexity of the confined electron density for the hydrogen atom is clearly displayed [102] in Figure 4, as R2(Vo) changes sign as the radius of confinement varies. 

An alternative and very accurate way to solve the problem was given by Aquino [34,35], which is based on a procedure developed by Campoy and Palma [189,190] for free (unbounded) systems. This method has been successfully applied in the following contexts The spherically confined harmonic oscillator [13], computation of the Einstein coefficients of the ID asymmetrically confined harmonic oscillator [169], confined 2D hydrogen atom [185], and also in the study of free (unbounded) systems as the inversion frequencies of NH3, in which the inversion potential is modeled by a 20th-degree polynomial [191], and in the Mitra potential [192]. 

Anhydrous hydrogen fluoride rapidly absorbs moisture to form hydrofluoric acid, which is corrosive to most metals and results in tire formation of hydrogen gas in tire presence of moisture. Tlris corrosiveness can lead to equipment failure, and the potential buildup of hydrogen gas in confined areas makes for a fire and explosion Irazard. 

Since the single potential of a metal cannot be measured it is necessary to use a suitable reference elecrode such as the Hg/Hg2Cl2/KCl electrode or the Ag/AgCl/KCl electrode, and although potentials are frequently expressed with reference to the standard hydrogen electrode (S.H.E.) the use of this electrode in practice is confined to fundamental studies rather than testing. 

Substituted ethylenes, with hydrogen atoms replaced by various alkyl groups, have a common feature in their electronic spectra, i.e. an absorption band at ca. 164 — 180 nm. This band is interpreted to show that the delocalization of the electron pair is largely confined to the vicinity of the unsaturated centre, commonly referred to as the C=C double bond. If the de-localization is assumed not to exceed a linear distance of one bond length on either side of the double bond, the electron pair remains in a linear potential box of width 3d, with allowed energy levels of... 

This situation applies with weak hydrogen bonds at one extreme and very strong hydrogen bonds at the other with H and D confined to the same potential well. However, when the potential energy barrier has fallen sufficiently to allow the proton to escape the confines of its parent well, but leaves the deuteron trapped, then different values of the isotopic ratio can be observed (Fig. 7). The effect of isotopic exchange is now much more than merely one of doubling the reduced mass of the vibrating bond. When the proton is above the barrier, the force constant of the A—H bond, k A.—H),... 

The low-lying excited states of the hydrogen molecule conhned in the harmonic potential were studied using the configuration interaction method and large basis sets. Axially symmetric harmonic oscillator potentials were used. The effect of the confinement on the geometry and spectroscopic constants was analyzed. Detailed analysis of the effect of confinement on the composition of the wavefunction was performed.
