Three-dimensional extended dipole model for interaction and alignment of chromophores... 

This model has been successfully applied to J aggregates of cyanine dyes in a brick stonework arrangement [47,48]. However, this model cannot explain the spectral shift of chromophores having transition moments in two or more directions as shown in Figure 8 for long-axis and short-axis transition dipoles of carbazolyl chromophores, nor it can predict the orientation of chromophores with respect to the substrate. In order to explain such spectral shifts and molecular orientation of alloxazine and carbazolyl chromophores as mentioned above, we proposed a three-dimensional extended dipole model which takes a three-dimensional...

Figure 9.12 Three-dimensional map of the calculated electrostatic potential at 0.25 nm above the symmetry plane in a hexagonally ordered network of dipoles with a dipole-dipole distance of 1.61 nm and a dipole moment of 10 D. The dipoles are positioned at the minima. Note that the potential is lowered at every position on the surface. Equipotential lines for -1.05, -0.84, -0.63 and -0.42 V are indicated in the bottom plane. The contours are circular at short distances from a potassium atom, indicating that at these sites the nearest potassium atom largely dominates the potential. The equipotential tine for -0.42 V, however, has hexagonal symmetry due to the influence of the dipoles further away (from Janssens et al. [40]).

If equal bond dipoles act in opposite directions in three-dimensional space, they counteract each other. A molecule with identical polar bonds that point in opposite directions is not polar. Figure 1.5 shows two examples, carbon dioxide and carbon tetrachloride. Carbon dioxide, CO2, has two polar C=0 bonds acting in opposite directions, so the molecule is non-polar. Carbon tetrachloride, CCI4, has four polar C—Cl bonds in a tetrahedral shape. You can prove mathematically that four identical dipoles, pointing toward the vertices of a tetrahedron, counteract each other exactly. (Note that this mathematical proof only applies if all four bonds are identical.) Therefore, carbon tetrachloride is also non-polar. 

Step 3 Do the bond dipoles act in opposite directions and counteract each other Use your knowledge of three-dimensional molecular shapes to help you answer this question. If in doubt, use a molecular model to help you visualize the shape of the molecule. 

While the solubility parameter can be used to conduct solubility studies, it is more informative, in dealing with charged polymers such as SPSF, to employ the three dimensional solubility parameter (A7,A8). The solubility parameter of a liquid is related to the total cohesive energy (E) by the equation 6 = (E/V) 2, where V is the molar volume. The total cohesive energy can be broken down into three additive components E = E j + Ep + Ejj, where the three components represent the contributions to E due to dispersion or London forces, permanent dipole-dipole or polar forces, and hydrogen bonding forces, respectively. This relationship is used... 

Carboxypeptidase A was the first zinc enzyme to yield a three-dimensional structure to the X-ray crystallographic method, and the structure of an enzyme-pseudosubstrate complex provided a model for a precatalytic zinc-carbonyl interaction (Lipscomb etai, 1968). Comparative studies have been performed between carboxypeptidase A and thermolysin based on the results of X-ray crystallographic experiments (Argosetai, 1978 Kesterand Matthews, 1977 Monzingoand Matthews, 1984 Matthews, 1988 Christianson and Lipscomb, 1988b). Models of peptide-metal interaction have recently been utilized in studies of metal ion participation in hydrolysis (see e.g., Schepartz and Breslow, 1987). In these examples a dipole-ion interaction is achieved by virtue of a chelate interaction involving the labile carbonyl and some other Lewis base (e.g.. 

There are several types of natural and synthetic molecular hosts, such as cyclodextrin and cyclophane, that are shaped to accommodate neutral and charged organic molecules in the three-dimensional cavity. The inclusion complexation by molecular hosts is driven by various weak forces like van der Waals, hydrophobic, hydrogen bonding, ion-dipole, and dipole-dipole interactions, and therefore the molecular recognition process seems much more complicated. In expanding the scope of the present theory, it is intriguing and inevitable to perform the extrather-... 

Two later sections (1.6.5 and 1.6.6) look at the crystalline structures of covalently bonded species. First, extended covalent arrays are investigated, such as the structure of diamond—one of the forms of elemental carbon—where each atom forms strong covalent bonds to the surrounding atoms, forming an infinite three-dimensional network of localized bonds throughout the crystal. Second, we look at molecular crystals, which are formed from small, individual, covalently-bonded molecules. These molecules are held together in the crystal by weak forces known collectively as van der Waals forces. These forces arise due to interactions between dipole moments in the molecules. Molecules that possess a permanent dipole can interact with one another (dipole-dipole interaction) and with ions (charge-dipole interaction). Molecules that do not possess a dipole also interact with each other because transient dipoles arise due to the movement of electrons, and these in turn induce dipoles in adjacent molecules. The net result is a weak attractive force known as the London dispersion force, which falls off very quickly with distance. 

Although complete, fully polarizable QM/MM schemes are computationally demanding, a simplified version of this formalism was arguably the first QM/MM approach to be described (Warshel and Levitt 1976), and the method still sees some use today. The simplification involves replacing explicit, polarizable MM molecules with a three-dimensional grid of fixed, polarizable dipoles - each a so-called Langevin dipole (LD) as it is required to obey... 

The purine and pyrimidine bases are hydrophobic and relatively insoluble in water at the near-neutral pH of the cell. At acidic or alkaline pH the bases become charged and their solubility in water increases. Hydrophobic stacking interactions in which two or more bases are positioned with the planes of their rings parallel (like a stack of coins) are one of two important modes of interaction between bases in nucleic acids. The stacking also involves a combination of van der Waals and dipole-dipole interactions between the bases. Base stacking helps to minimize contact of the bases with water, and base-stacking interactions are very important in stabilizing the three-dimensional structure of nucleic acids, as described later.
