Sidechain conservatism may be split up into at least two kinds 1) substitutions which conserve sidechain bonding forces - providing similar electrostatic, hydrophilic, or hydrogen bonding interactions, and 2) substitutions conserving secondary structure propensity. For instance, substitution of glutamic acid with aspartic acid conserves charge, but this could have a considerable effect upon the secondary structure propensity of the peptide.

Residues labeled in bold are absolutely conserved in the primary structure of the OCP. (From Wallace, A.C. et al., Protein Eng., 8, 127, 1995.)... 

Amide proton temperature coefficients and hydrogen exchange rates can provide information about hydrogen-bonding interactions and solvent sequestration in unfolded or partly folded proteins (Dyson and Wright, 1991). Abnormally low temperature coefficients, relative to random coil values, are a clear indication of local structure and interactions. 

Fig. 21.1 The interactions between the bound coenzyme molecule and the amino acids at positions 47 and 369 in the / , / 2, and / 3 polymorphic variants as observed in their respective structures determined by X-ray crystallography. The dashed lines indicate possible hydrogen-bonds between the amino acids and the phosphate oxygens of the bound coenzyme molecule, NAD(H). Arg47 is substituted by a His residue in the f 2 isozyme and Arg369 is substituted by a Cys residue in the / 3 isozyme. In each case, the substitution results in a net loss of hydrogen-bonding interactions and weaker affinity for the coenzyme.

Designing potential DNA intercalators has led to an investigation of a series of [Ru([9]aneS3)LCl] complexes where L is a didentate polypyridyl ligand. Structural data for the complexes are discussed in terms of hydrogen-bonded interactions and rr-stacking between extended aromatic systems, e.g., dppz and 4,7-Ph2phen. " ...

The enzyme appears to catalyse the reaction by predisposition of these hydrogen bonding interactions and the calculated activation energy is 53 kJ moh This is a significant lowering of the activation barrier compared to the barrier found in the solution reaction (92 kJ moh ) and represents an enzymatic rate acceleration of one million fold. In another theory study [14] which modelled this reaction in a simulated water matrix, the electrostatic interaction between F and the positively charged sulphur (R3S+) of SAM 8 was deduced to confer significant stability to the reaction complex. These theory studies also support a... 

Not so much attention is given to the form of the hydrated hydroxide anion, which is also subject to hydrogen bonded interactions and does exist in some crystals as H3O2- or (H20)0H and has a symmetrical [HO-H-OH]" hydrogen bonded structure. Recent work5 has shown that the most probable form of the hydrated hydroxide ion is (h O OH-, in which the hydroxide oxygen atom participates in hydrogen bonds with three water molecules. Exclusively, the hydrated hydroxide ion is formulated as OH (aq) in chemical equations.

From these results, it can be concluded that the rate enhancement of polysaccharide hydrolysis obtained with the present copolymer catalyst was attributable to the hydrogen bonding interactions between the substrate and the catalyst and to the electrostatic interactions between the catalyst polyanions and protons. A drawing of this concept is shown in Figure 10. A polymer molecule is surrounded by a proton atmosphere. The substrate molecules are pulled into the atmosphere by hydrogen bonding interactions and hydrolyzed in the presence of a high concentration of proton. 

The SM2/AM1 model was used to examine anomeric and reverse anomeric effects and allowed to state that aqueous solvation tends to reduce anomeric stabilization [58]. Moreover, SM2/AM1 and SM3/PM3 models were accounted for in calculations of the aqueous solvation effects on the anomeric and conformational equilibria of D-glucopy-ranose. The solvation models put the relative ordering of the hydroxymethyl conformers in line with the experimentally determined ordering of populations. The calculations indicated that the anomeric equilibrium is controlled primarily by effects that the gauche/trans 0-C6-C5-0 hydroxymethyl conformational equilibrium is dominated by favorable solute-solvent hydrogen bonding interactions, and that the rotameric equilibria were controlled mainly by dielectric polarization of the solvent [59]. On the other hand, Monte Carlo results for the effects of solvation on the anomeric equilibrium for 2-methoxy-tetrahydropyran indicated that the AM1/SM2 method tends to underestimate the hydration effects for this compound [60].
