The rotational preferences of the hydroxymethyl group in pyranosides is known to depend on the local environment, whether in solid, solution, or gas phase. By combining molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with NMR spectroscopy the rotational preferences for the ω angle in methyl 2,3-di-O-methyl-α-D-glucopyranoside (3) and methyl 2,3-di-O-methyl-α-D-galactopyranoside (6) in a variety of solvents, with polarities ranging from 80 to 2.3 D have been determined. The effects of solvent polarity on intramolecular hydrogen bonding have been identified and quantified. In water, the internal hydrogen bonding networks are disrupted by competition with hydrogen bonds to the solvent. When the internal hydrogen bonds are differentially disrupted, the rotamer populations associated with the ω angle may be altered. In the case of 3 in water, the preferential disruption of the interaction between HO6 and O4 destabilizes the tg rotamer, leading to the observed preference for gauche rotamers. Without the hydrogen bond enhancement offered by a low polarity environment, both 3 and 6 display rotamer populations that are consistent with expectations based on the minimization of repulsive intramolecular oxygen–oxygen interactions. In a low polarity environment, HO6 prefers to interact with O4, however, in water these interactions are markedly weakened, indicating that HO6 acts as a hydrogen bond donor to water.Key words: carbohydrate, rotamer, molecular dynamics simulation, MD, NMR.

Cholesterol Levels

ABSTRACTObjective: PCSK9 has medical significance in lowering cholesterol levels. Inhibitors target and inactivate PCSK9 in the liver. Knocking out PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9) reduces the amount of harmful LDL cholesterol circulating in the bloodstream. There are two known inhibitors for treating the cardiovascular disease “Arilocumab” and “Evalocumab”. However there are many side-effects. The current study is to identify natural and synthetic inhibitor using the pharmacophoric feature of the known inhibitor and validating the short listed candidates using Molecular dynamics and ADMET properties.Methods: Known inhibitors for the PCSK9 Protein were taken from the BINDING DATABASE. Molecular docking was performed for the known inhibitors with the PCSK9 protein. After docking the best inhibitor was selected and the docking result was then imported to find the pharmacophoric features.Results: The pharmacophore model was generated with 3 features containing  1 hydrogen bond acceptor(A),1 Hydrogen bond donor(B) and 1 Aromatic ring. The constructed e-pharmacophore model was screened with more than 20000 natural compounds. 5 compounds were short listed. Among them ZINC85625485 has  glide  score  of  -13.03  kcal/mol  with  glide  energy  was  -57.62 kcal/mol and ZINC85625406 has glide score of -8.1kcal/mol with glide energy was -39.33kcal/mol were taken as the best Hits.Conclusion: PCSK9 is known to be a therapeutic agent as it controls the plasma LDL cholesterol levels by posttranslational regulation of the LDL receptor. Therefore, up-regulation of PCSk9 can lead to elevated cholesterol level in such case inhibition of PCSK9 will be a effective remedy. In this study already known inhibitors were taken and pharmacophore feature was generated. Zinc database was screened to find out novel compounds with similar pharmacophore features that can act as potentially active compound against PCSK9. ZINC85625485 and ZINC85625406 were short listed as lead compounds with Molecular dynamics simulation and checking the ADMET properties. Keywords: PCSK9, Docking, ADMET, Molecular Dynamics.

The binding mode of sorafenib with VEGFR2 was studied using molecular docking and molecular dynamics method. The docking results show that sorafenib forms hydrogen bonds with Asp1046, Cys919, and Glu885 of VEGFR2 receptor. Molecular dynamics simulation suggests that the hydrogen bond involving Asp1046 is the most stable one, and it is almost preserved during all the MD simulation time. The hydrogen bond formed with Cys919 occurs frequently after 6 ns, while the bifurcated hydrogen bonds involving Glu885 occurs occasionally. Meantime, molecular dynamics simulations of VEGFR2 with 11 other urea-substituted aryloxy compounds have also been performed, and the results indicate that a potent VEGFR2 inhibitor should have lower interaction energy with VEGFR2 and create at least 2 hydrogen bonds with VEGFR2.

Protein hydration is crucial for the stability and molecular recognition of a protein. Water molecules form a hydration water network on a protein surface via hydrogen bonds. This study examined the hydration structure and hydrogen bonding state of a protein, staphylococcal nuclease, at various hydration levels in its crystalline state by all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Hydrophilic residues were more hydrated than hydrophobic residues. As the water content increases, both types of residues were uniformly more hydrated. The number of hydrogen bonds per single water asymptotically approaches 4, the same as bulk water. The distances and angles of hydrogen bonds in hydration water in the protein crystal were almost the same as those in the tetrahedral structure of bulk water regardless of the hydration level. The hydrogen bond structure of hydration water observed by MD simulations of the protein crystalline state was compared to the Hydrogen and Hydration Database for Biomolecule from experimental protein crystals.

The structure of water molecules inside (6, 6) carbon nanotube under two different conditions are studied using molecular dynamics simulation. The structural and thermodynamic properties of the single-file water chain along the nanotube help to determine the hydrogen bonds between water molecules inside the channel. The properties of the systems show that induced pressure and ionic environment have similar effects on the structure of the inner water molecules. However, the Na+ and Cl− ions lead the number of hydrogen bonds inside the nanotube to fluctuate a little more greatly than that under the induced pressure.
