Abstract
The influence of the hydrogen bonding between the isoalloxazine ring system and the ribityl chain on the fluorescence decay times is shown. A conformational analysis of the riboflavin molecule in an aqueous solution was carried out. Ab initio calculations were carried out using density functional theory, where functional were extended with Grimme’s dispersion correction. Conformers of riboflavin in the neutral form with the lowest energy values in water were determined. These conformers have the hydrogen bonding between the ribityl chain and the nitrogen atom in the isoalloxazine ring system. It was shown that for riboflavin and FAD(2-) molecules there are similar hydrogen bonding between the isoalloxazine ring system and the ribityl chain. The process of the isoalloxazine ring protonation in riboflavin and FAD(2-) conformers with the hydrogen bonding upon interaction with hydronium can be carried out through the proton transfer process from the oxygen atom at the ribityl chain.
期刊介绍：
Chemical Physics publishes experimental and theoretical papers on all aspects of chemical physics. In this journal, experiments are related to theory, and in turn theoretical papers are related to present or future experiments. Subjects covered include: spectroscopy and molecular structure, interacting systems, relaxation phenomena, biological systems, materials, fundamental problems in molecular reactivity, molecular quantum theory and statistical mechanics. Computational chemistry studies of routine character are not appropriate for this journal.
