Abstract:

The hydrogen bond energy, geometry, charge distribution and second order stabilization energy of complexes oxidized base pair(8-oxo-G∶C) and Amino acid side chains were investigated via quantum chemistry in gas phase and aqueous solution. The results show that the hydrogen bond strength has been weakened in aqueous solution, the charge has been obviously affected by aqueous solution, the charge variation of forming hydrogen bond sites under aqueous solution is about 10 times as much as under gas phase and the geometry has slight change. Therefore the interaction between enzyme and DNA must be studied in aqueous solution. The aqueous solution has a great influence on the hydrogen bond strength between 8-oxo-G∶C and amino acid side chains in charged complexes, which has been weakened by 69.23 kJ/mol in average. The hydrogen bond strength between 8-oxo-G∶C and amino acid side chains in uncharged complexes has only been weakened by 3.60 kJ/mol in average. The side chain with or without charge has little effect on the hydrogen bond strength between 8-oxo-G and C in complexes in aqueous solution and the hydrogen bond strengths of charged complexes and uncharged complexes have been weakened by 24.57 and 30.05 kJ/mol, respectively. The higher the second-order stabilization energy, the shorter the length of the corresponding hydrogen bonds.
