Abstract By computer simulations -molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics with the amber force field (Weiner et al., (1986), J. Comp. Chem. 7, 2 30-252) -we have determined the stabilities of oligoribotide strands built with ᴅ -and ʟ-riboses, and of peptide chains with ᴅ -and ʟ-amino acid residues. In particular, complementary double-chains of oligoribotides were studied, since they are an important feature of the growing mechanism of modern nucleic acids. Peptide chains on the other hand, grow without need of a template. We found that mixed oligoribotides are less stable than homochiral ones, and that this chiral effect is less noticeable in peptide chains. The results support the interpretation that ʟ-riboses act as terminators to the template-assisted growth of oligo-r-Gᴅ (enantiomeric cross-inhibition; Joyce et al., (1987), Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 84, 4398-4402). Based on this effect, a chemical pathway is proposed which could, under assumed prebiotic conditions, bypass the hindrance of homochiral growth.

Nonbonding parameters of AMBER force field have been refined based onab initiobinding energies of CO2–[C7H5N2]−complexes. The energy and geometry scaling factors are obtained to be 1.2 and 0.9 forεandσparameters, respectively. Molecular dynamics simulations of CO2molecules in rigid framework ZIF-11, have then been performed using original AMBER parameters (SIM I) and refined parameters (SIM II), respectively. The site-site radial distribution functions and the molecular distribution plots simulations indicate that all hydrogen atoms are favored binding site of CO2molecules. One slight but notable difference is that CO2molecules are mostly located around and closer to hydrogen atom of imidazolate ring in SIM II than those found in SIM I. The Zn-Zn and Zn-N RDFs in free flexible framework simulation (SIM III) show validity of adapting AMBER bonding parameters. Due to the limitations of computing resources and times in this study, the results of flexible framework simulation using refined nonbonding AMBER parameters (SIM IV) are not much different from those obtained in SIM II.
