Absorption difference and comparative absorption spectrophotometric studies involving 4f-4f transitions of Nd(III) and different amino acids: DL-valine, DL-alanine, and β-alanine in presence and absence of Ca(II) and Zn(II) in aqueous and different aquated organic solvents have been carried out. Variations in the spectral energy parameters: Slater-Condon (FK) factor, Racah (EK), Lande factor (ξ4f), nephelauxetic ratio (β), bonding (b1/2), percentage covalency (δ) are calculated to explore the mode of interaction of Nd(III) with different amino acids: DL-valine, DL-alanine, and β-alanine. The values of experimentally calculated oscillator strength (P) and computed values of Judd-Ofelt electric dipole intensity parameters, Tλ (λ = 2,4,6), are also determined for different 4f-4f transitions. The variation in the values of P and Tλ parameters explicitly shows the relative sensitivities of the 4f-4f transitions as well as the specific correlation between relative intensities, ligand structures, and nature of Nd(III)-ligand interaction.

Self Organizing

We present the clustering properties of amino acids, which are building blocks of proteins, according to their physico-chemical characters. To classify the 20 kinds of amino acids, we employ a Self-Organizing Map (SOM) analysis for the Miyazawa-Jernigan (MJ) pairwise-contact matrix, the Environment-dependent One-body energy Parameters (EOP) and the one-body energy parameters incorporating the Ramachandran angle information (EOPR) over the EOP in proteins. We provide the new result of the SOM clustering for amino acids based on the EOPR and compare that with those from the MJ and the EOP matrix. All three kinds of energy parameters capture the leading role played by the hydrophobicity and the hydrophilicity of amino acids in protein folding. Our SOM analysis generally illustrates that both the EOP and the EOPR can provide the collective clustering of amino acids by the side chain characteristics and the secondary structure information. However, EOP is better at classifying amino acids according to their side chain characteristics whereas EOPR is better with secondary structure. We show that the EOP and the EOPR matrix manifests more detailed physico-chemical classification of amino acids than those from the MJ matrix, which does not contain a local environmental information of amino acids in the protein structures.
