An MNDO study has been carried out on a variety of substituted sulfenium ions and sulfides. Relative stabilities in the gas phase have been calculated for several pairs of regioisomeric sulfenium ions. It is shown that sulfenium ions are stabilized by π-donors and that the substituent electronegativity is not an important factor. The potential implications of this result for the mechanism by which chlorosulfonium cations are converted into sulfenium ions in solution is discussed. Substituent effects on the energetics of sulfenium ion formation from sulfides have been obtained. It is shown that these effects also are related to the substituent's π-donating ability. A frontier-orbital analysis of selected sulfenium ions has been done and is discussed.

Abstract Biodegradation of anionic polyacrylamide (HPAM) and polyacrylate (PAA) by key enzymes, such as amidase and bacterial laccase, have been reported. However, the interaction mechanism between HPAM or PAA and enzymes is still poorly unclear. Here, docking study was undertook to demonstrate the binding modes and interaction details for degradation of HPAM or PAA. Then, bioactivities between PAA and HPAM were compared with frontier orbital theory. The docking results showed that HPAM completely buried in pocket of Rhodococcus sp. N-771 amidase (Rh Amidase), while most of PAA molecule exposed outside pocket of Bacillus subtilis laccase ( B. subtilis laccase ), further suggesting PAA was much more difficult to degrade than HPAM. Hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds were necessary for stabilizing HPAM-Rh Amidase or PAA- B. subtilis laccase complex. The frontier orbital analysis indicated that bioactivity of PAA was higher than that of PAA. These findings provide an insight into enzyme-catalyzed degradation of HPAM. It is helpful in designing highly efficient enzymes against HPAM or PAA to protect environment.
