The study of the role of Hydronium ion in Proton transfer
essentially provides an evidence that the bulk water
presence is a viable medium for proton transfer to occur.
At least what happens in isolated amino acid molecule
Geometry Optimization starting with Zwitterion form can
happen unhindered even in presence of water even if
water does not seem to be significantly faciliting what
happens without its presence. Geometrical Variations
At this juncture the question of greater concern seems to
be to find ways for proton transfer from the carboxylic
acid function (of the nonionic amino acid) to the alpha
amino group in the molecule.
This requires much closely the possible specific wateramino acid interaction within the coordinate sphere of
the amino acid, and find how the bilk water medium could
further facilitate.
details
The main inference by the results
considered till now is that the
ZWITTERION form of the amino
acid exhibits the proton releasing
tendency of the ammonium group
at provocation of the presence of
an Oxygen containing system in
the neighborhood and that in the
absence of any other molecule,
the carboxylate ion of the isolated
amino acid receives the proton
readily.
This is what is the most popularly known conditions
in Biological media.
Is it possible to investigate
the role of water mediation
to such an extent that, the
zwitterion form becomes
more stable in such a
surrounding as compared
to the nonionic form?
The methods of Molecular Electrostatic Potential in the
Computational Chemistry tries to derive the benefit of Chemist’s
intuition imagining as if a proton can be placed around the
molecule, and try to find out its energy values due to the
electrostatic interaction with the molecular charges. Essentially
molecular environment favoring certain dispositions which
eventually makes possible certain reactivities for the given
structure.
In a similar way by examining the dipole moment of the
molecule and placing a water molecule in the neighbor
hood is it possible to find a favorable number of water
molecules in the coordination sphere and the relative
disposition of these molecules to influence the proton
transfers to take place in such a way that proton
prefers to get lodged at the ammonium ion region
rather than the carboxylate ion region of the amino
acid?
In the following slide such a environmental
information is attempted at with two water
molecules in the neighborhood.
