Re: [ccp4bb] collective term for hydrogen bonds and salt bridges

We should also be aware that there is a formal IUPAC definition of hydrogen
bonds as well, although its not really optimized for protein
crystallography.

Re: [ccp4bb] collective term for hydrogen bonds and salt bridges

2018-09-20 Thread Mark Wilson
Just to put a finer point on some of this, the Lennard-Jones (6-12)
potential is short-range, containing an attractive component arising from
London dispersion forces (quantum mechanical induced dipole-induced dipole
interactions) that decay as 1/r^6 and a repulsive component arising from
the Pauli exclusion principle that rises as 1/r^12.  The minimum of this
potential for a given homoatomic interaction vs. interatomic distance
corresponds to the van der Waals radius for that atom.  Also, while
hydrogen bonds are predominantly electrostatic, it is worth noting that
there are some unresolved issues with the exact physical nature of these
interactions, particularly at short donor-acceptor distances.

Re: [ccp4bb] collective term for hydrogen bonds and salt bridges

2018-09-20 Thread Daniel M. Himmel, Ph. D.
Hello again.  I just want to add that hydrogen bonds by convention are
usually
considered to be a type of electrostatic interaction (please see the review
by
E. N. Baker in the International Tables of Crystallography Volume F, second
edition,
p. 721) and are generally grouped with other "short range" electrostatic
interactions
along with dipole-dipole, dipole-ionic, and ionic-ionic interactions.  This
is by
contrast to long term interactions that are approximated by the Lennard
Jones potential,
which includes van der Waals forces.  My understanding is that van der
Waals forces
result from weak overall attractions between the protons in the nucleus of
one atom
and the electron cloud of another atom and therefore increase as the atomic
number
of the atoms increase.

Stefano is correct that hydrophobic interactions are chiefly entropically
driven.  Thank you for your
input, Stefano.  I disagree with Matthew, however.  It is true that van der
Waals forces are always
present and therefore form a small contribution to even hydrogen bonds.
However, since the major contributions
to hydrogen bonds are various types of electronic components, it is proper
to group hydrogen bonds with electrostatic interactions.  When using
computational
software, one must look under the hood (or read the user manual) to see how
different
force components are being grouped for calculations.

I would say to Sheila that, when you write up your analysis, just be sure
to define how you are
using terms such as "electrostatic" or else specifically list the
individual types of interatomic
attractive forces that you are surveying  (which I know you prefer to
avoid).

If any computational chemists are following this discussion, perhaps you
can pipe in and
share your perspective and expertise.

Interesting discussion is coming out of this question. I thank all that have 
provided input.


Let me go a bit further concerning Daniel's considerations. What other 
dipole interaction might be distinctively ascribed by programs out of hydrogen 
bonds (and of course, they use to describe salt bridges in addition, as an 
ionic interaction)? Possibly difficult for programs that use only atom 
positions, distances and angles (excluding the question of pH dependence, let 
us suppose neutral pH)?

I might here be specific with program PISA, which lists Hydrogen Bonds and 
Salt Bridges. They seem to use these bonds to estimate a Gibbs energy for the 
formation of the interface.

Okay.  The original poster asked about hydrogen bonds and electrostatic

"enthalpic interactions".


And I think you're saying the same thing - which is cool.

Re: [ccp4bb] collective term for hydrogen bonds and salt bridges

2018-09-19 Thread Stefano Trapani
 

Hi Frank

I mean that, in my opinion, the term "enthalpic interaction" is not
appropriate to describe the hydrophobic effect, since the latter is
mainly driven by changes in the (system) entropy, not enthalpy.

Table1 of the cited paper reports the thermodynamic functions for
transferring some nonpolar solutes from a few organic solvents to water.
The author says that: "The data collected in Table 1 clearly show that
the thermodynamic barrier to the solution process is entropic rather
than enthalpic".

Also, after a brief description of two theoretical models (the
cavity-based model and the clathrate cage model) the author states: "It
is important to point out that both the cavity-based model and the
clathrate cage model rest upon the fact that the hydrophobic effect is
entropy, not enthalpy driven. The models differ only in how they explain
the source of the entropy loss."

Certainly the medicinal chemists go on a great deal about how deltaH 
balances deltaS and how it's bloody hard to know what is what even when

By the way, distinguishing between dipole and ionic (salt bridge)
interactions could
be a slippery slope, because which one you have sometimes depends on the
protonation
state of the protein(s), which is pH dependent.

Sheila,

Hydrogen bonds, ionic (i.e. salt bridge), and polar (dipole) interactions
are often collectively called
electrostatic interactions.  Note that dipole interactions involve partial
charges.  If you want to exclude
dipole interactions, you have say so specifically in your manuscript.
Non-bonded interactions include
both electrostatic and van der Waals contacts (where hydrophobic
interactions result from van der Waals
forces in an aqueous environment).  Water can also interact with dipoles
(partial charges), so it would
NOT be correct to use the term "hydrophilic" if you were excluding dipolar
interactions.

Nonbonded interactions? (if you approach this from classic geometry
restraints used in refinement programs)

Hi,

Polar interactions seems to make the most sense. This is what Pymol uses as I 
don't  think it differentiates

Dear all,

 I had some literature search, but could not find clearly. Would there be 
an appropriate term to call the sum of hydrogen bonds (HB) and salt bridges 
(SB)? What about "hydrophilic interactions" or "polar interactions"? I am 
analyzing the different number of theses interactions in different monomers of 
my protein, as a totality I wanted to cite (compare) the number of HB + SB, yet 
I think to specify them separately could take out some focus of the discussion.

 Thank you,

Sheila

[ccp4bb] collective term for hydrogen bonds and salt bridges

2018-09-17 Thread Sheila Boreiko
Dear all,


 I had some literature search, but could not find clearly. Would there be 
an appropriate term to call the sum of hydrogen bonds (HB) and salt bridges 
(SB)? What about "hydrophilic interactions" or "polar interactions"? I am 
analyzing the different number of theses interactions in different monomers of 
my protein, as a totality I wanted to cite (compare) the number of HB + SB, yet 
I think to specify them separately could take out some focus of the discussion.

 Thank you,

Sheila
