Abstract
High-level Density functional theory (DFT) has been employed to investigate the impact of substitutions onto the imidazole (IM) ring, mimicking the effect of the substituted axial histidine on the bonding of the CO and NO ligands with Ferrous-Heme. It has been predicted that the CO and NO bonding to Heme is sensitive to the nature of substitution groups. Also, it has been predicted that in contrast to electron-donating substitutions on the IM ring, the electron-withdrawing groups have mainly a stabilization effect (though slightly) on the bonding of CO and NO to Heme.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Physics Letters has an open access mirror journal, Chemical Physics Letters: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Chemical Physics Letters publishes brief reports on molecules, interfaces, condensed phases, nanomaterials and nanostructures, polymers, biomolecular systems, and energy conversion and storage.
Criteria for publication are quality, urgency and impact. Further, experimental results reported in the journal have direct relevance for theory, and theoretical developments or non-routine computations relate directly to experiment. Manuscripts must satisfy these criteria and should not be minor extensions of previous work.
