H + D interactions

For this molecule one needs, in addition to the H-H and D-D interactions, the H-D interactions. These can be obtained from experiments, if available, or can be estimated from scaling arguments. Introducing the reduced masses, p, of the C-H and C-D bonds, and defining p by...

A special problem, of crucial importance in applications of molecular mechanics to biological problems, is the treatment of the hydrogen bond, an interaction which is halfway between a true chemical bond and a non-bonded interaction. This complication was tackled in an entirely practical attimde, using empirical formulas for a given A... H-D interaction A being the acceptor atom and D the donor, the CHARMM force field used the following ... 

The Jhd coupling constant provides a measure of the H-D interaction in rf -WT) complexes. The observed Jhd coupling constant for HD gas is 43.2 Hz [68]. The coordination of HD to a transition metal center leads to weakening of the H-D bond, an increase in the H-D distance and a decrease in the Jhd cou-phng constant Morris, Heinekey and their respective coworkers have shown that the value of Jhd for a given rf -WYT complex is linearly related to the H-H distance of the corresponding complex as determined by neutron diffrac-... 

Here we shall be concerned with the interaction of inacming diatomic molecules (H-/ 0.) with either types of potential energy wells The molecular InteractJjon (responsible for elastic and direct-inelastic scattering with extremely short residence times of the irpinglng molecules in the potential) and the chemisorptive interaction (leading to dissociative adsorption and associative desorption, reflectively, and associated with H (D) atoms trapped in the chemisorption potential for an appreci le time).

The final part is devoted to a survey of molecular properties of special interest to the medicinal chemist. The Theory of Atoms in Molecules by R. F.W. Bader et al., presented in Chapter 7, enables the quantitative use of chemical concepts, for example those of the functional group in organic chemistry or molecular similarity in medicinal chemistry, for prediction and understanding of chemical processes. This contribution also discusses possible applications of the theory to QSAR. Another important property that can be derived by use of QC calculations is the molecular electrostatic potential. J.S. Murray and P. Politzer describe the use of this property for description of noncovalent interactions between ligand and receptor, and the design of new compounds with specific features (Chapter 8). In Chapter 9, H.D. and M. Holtje describe the use of QC methods to parameterize force-field parameters, and applications to a pharmacophore search of enzyme inhibitors. The authors also show the use of QC methods for investigation of charge-transfer complexes.
