    Notes: The introduction of a reaction field dipolar contribution in free energy calculations is considered. The method is applied to a series of polar compounds, namely TIP3P water, methanol, and acetamide. The hydration free energies computed with both spherical cutoff and reaction field geometries are critically compared. Although the estimated quantities appear to be very similar, the use of a reaction field correction offers a better representation of the liquid structure. In the case of methanol, different potential derived point charge models of increasing complexity are investigated. It is found that the sophisticated models, involving either lone pairs or bond center charges, do not lead to any significant improvement over the simple atomic charge distribution. This trend is correlated to the variable strength of the modeled hydrogen bonds in solution.

    Notes: Abstract. In the framework of a theoretical approach to the relationship between structure and reactivity of the catalytic centers of enzymes, glyceraldehyde-3 phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) has been chosen as a model enzyme. In GAPDH, the proximity of His176 increases the reactivity of Cys149 at neutral pH; however, its presence alone is not sufficient to explain the reactivity of the catalytic Cys. In order to determine which other interactions play an important role, a study of the geometric and electronic structure of the catalytic site has been made using a hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics local self-consistent field method. This allows the computation of the electronic properties of amino acid residues in subsystems influenced by other parts of the macromolecule. The quantum subsystem was centered on the Cys149 residue of GAPDH. The structures of GAPDH taken from the crystallographic database did not include hydrogen atoms and these had to be added taking into account the fact that, in the active site, His176 has three tautomeric forms: δ-His protonated, ε-His protonated and His+. The results presented here suggest that the most stable His…Cys system in GAPDH is a strongly hydrogen-bonded Cys149 −/His176 + ion pair.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La méthode des orbitales moléculaires dans la forme PCILO est utilisée pour l'étude des cartes conformationnelles du maltose, de la cellobiose et du sucrose. Le calcul est effectué en deux étapes. Dans la première les conformations des cycles pyranosiques et furunosiques sont figées et les seules variables sont constituées par les angles Φ et Ψ du pont glycosidique. Dans la seconde on tient compte également des angles χ correspondant aux rotations possibles des OH proches de la liaison glycosidique. Les résultats du calcul quantique sont comparés avec ceux des calculs empiriques et, dans la mesure du possible, avec ceux de l'expérience.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die MO-Methode in der PCILO-Näherung wird zur Bestimmung der Konformationskarten von Maltose, Cellobiose und Saccharose verwendet. Die Berechnungen werden in zwei Stufen ausgeführt. In der ersten wird die Konformation des Pyranose- und des Furanose-Ringes festgehalten und die einzigen Variablen sind die Winkel Φ und Ψ der Rotation um die Glykosid-Bindungen. In der zweiten Stufe werden die Rotationen χ der OH-Gruppen in der Nachbarschaft der Glykosid-Bindung bei der Berechnung mit berücksichtigt. Die Ergebnisse der quantenmechanischen Berechnungen werden mit denjenigen früherer „empirischer“ Berechnungen sowie den experimentellen Ergebnissen — soweit möglich — verglichen.
    Notes: Abstract The molecular orbital method in the PCILO approximation is used for the determination of the conformational maps of maltose, cellobiose and sucrose. The calculations are carried out in two steps. In the first one, the conformation of the pyranose and furanose rings is fixed and the only variables are the angles Φ and Ψ of rotations around the glycosidic linkages. In the second, rotations χ of the OH groups in the vicinity of the glycosidic bond are included in the computations. The results of the quantum-mechanical calculations are compared with those of previous empirical ones and with the available experimental evidence.

    Description / Table of Contents: Resume Les calculs quantiques par la méthode PCILO sur les conformations des résidus amino-acides des protéines ont été étendus au cas des résidus séryle et thréonyle. Les zones conformationnelles stables, dans la limite de 5 Kcal/mole au dessus du plus has minimum, répresentent 57%, de l'espace disponible pour le residue séryle et 27% de cet espace pour le résidu thréonyle. Elles sont nettement plus larges que celles permises par les calculs ≪empiriques≫. Les calculs quantiques rendent compte d'une façon beaucoup satisfaisante que les calculs ≪mpiriques≫ des limites de la répartition sur la carte conformationnelle des points représentatifs des conformations des résidus séryle et thréonyle dans le lysozyme, la myoglobine et l'α-lactalbumine. La situation est plus délicate en ce qui concerne la position du plus has minimum qui comporte deux liaisons hydrogéne intramoléculaires. Ceci pent être attribué au fait que cette position parait être plus sensible au modèle utilisé dans les calculs que ne le sont les contours généraux. Les expériences effectuées sur un dipeptide à résidu séryle confirment complètement nos prédictions sur les conformations les plus stables de ce résidu. Les calculs indiquent aussi que les résidues séryle et thréonyle devraient avoir une tendance réduite pour assumer la conformationR α sans que celle-ci leur soit toutefois interdite.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die quantenmechanischen Berechnungen von Aminosäure-Anteilen in Proteinen mit Hilfe der PCILO-Methode wurden auf den Seryl- und Threonyl-Anteil ausgedehnt. Die Gebiete stabiler Konformation — innerhalb 5 Kcal/mol über dem absoluten Minimum — stellen 57 % des insgesamt möglichen Bereichs für den Seryl-Anteil und 27% für den Threonyl-Anteil dar. Diese Gebiete sind beträchtlich größer als diejenigen, die auf Grund „empirischer” Verfahren möglich sind. Die quantenmechanischen Rechnungen genügen dem Bereich der experimentellen Verteilung der Konformationen besser als die „empirischen” Rechnungen. Im Hinblick auf die Lage der absoluten Minima, die zu innermolekularen Wasserstoffbindungen gehören, ist die Beschreibung weniger befriedigend. Dies kann der Tatsache zugeschrieben werden, daß diese Werte empfindlicher bezüglich der verwendeten Modellverbindung sind als dies bei der allgemeinen Stabilitätskarte der Fall ist. Die Experimente mit einem Dipeptid mit Seryl-Anteil stimmen völlig mit unseren Voraussagen der stabilsten Konformation dieses Anteils überein. Die Berechnungen zeigen weiterhin, daß sowohl der Seryl- als auch der Threonyl-Anteil eine verhältnismäßig geringe Tendenz zur Aufnahme derR α-Konformation haben sollten; sie ist jedoch für beide Anteile nicht verboten.
    Notes: Abstract Quantum-mechanical calculations, by the PCILO method, on the conformations of the amino-acid residues of proteins have been extended to the seryl and threonyl residues. The conformationally stable regions, within 5 Kcal/mole above the global minima, represent 57% of the total available space for the seryl residue and 27% for the threonyl one. They are appreciably wider than those permitted by the “empirical” studies. The quantum-mechanical calculations account much more satisfactorily for the limiting contour of the distribution of the experimental conformations, as observed in lysozyme, myoglobin and α-lactalbumin, than do the “empirical” computations. The situation is less satisfactory as concerns the position of the global minima which imply two intramolecular hydrogen bonds. This may be attributed to the fact that this position is more sensitive to the model employed in the calculations than the general contours. Experiments made on a seryl-containing dipeptide agree completely with our prediction on the two most stable conformations of that residue. The calculations indicate also that the seryl and threonyl residues should have a reduced tendency to assume theR α conformation, which, however, is not forbidden to any of them.
