  • Theoretical study of the structural and spectroscopic properties of stellacyanin

    • The electronic spectrum of the azurin Met121Gln mutant, a model of the blue copper protein stellacyanin, has been studied by ab initio multiconfigurational second-order perturbation theory (the CASPT2 method), including the effect of the protein and solvent by point charges. The six lowest electronic transitions have been calculated and assigned with an error of less than 2400 cm-1. The ground-state singly occupied orbital is found to be a predominantly π antibonding orbital involving Cu3d and Scys3pπ. However, it also contains a significant amount (18%) of Cu-Scys σ antibonding character. This σ interaction is responsible for the appearance in the absorption spectrum of a band at 460 nm, with a significantly higher intensity than observed for other, axial, type 1 copper proteins (i.e., plastocyanin or azurin). The π-σ mixing is caused by the axial glutamine ligand binding at a much shorter distance to copper than the corresponding methionine ligand in the normal blue copper proteins. This explains why, based on its spectral properties, stellacyanin is classified among the rhombic type 1 copper proteins, although its structure is clearly trigonal, as it is for the axial proteins. Calculations have also been performed on structures where the glutamine model coordinates to the copper ion via the deprotonated N∈ atom instead of the O∈ atom. However, the resulting transition energies do not resemble the experimental spectrum obtained at normal or elevated pH. Thus, the results do not confirm the suggestion that the coordinating atom of glutamine changes at high pH.

  • O2-binding to heme: electronic structure and spectrum of oxyheme, studied by multiconfigurational methods
  • 2005
  • Ingår i: Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry. - : Elsevier BV. - 1873-3344 .- 0162-0134. ; 99:1, s. 45-54

    • We have studied the ground state of a realistic model of oxyheme with multiconfigurational second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2). Our results show that the ground-state electronic structure is strongly multiconfigurational in character. Thus, the wavefunction is a mixture of many different configurations, of which the three most important ones are approximately 1FeII–1O2 (70%), (12%) and 3FeII–3O2 (3%). Thus, the wavefunction is dominated by closed-shell configurations, as suggested by Pauling, whereas the Weiss configuration is not encountered among the 10 most important configurations. However, many other states are also important for this multiconfigurational wavefunction. Moreover, the traditional view is based on an oversimplified picture of the atomic-orbital contributions to the molecular orbitals. Thus, the population analysis indicates that all five iron orbitals are significantly occupied (by 0.5–2.0 electrons) and that the total occupation is most similar to the 3FeII–3O2 picture. The net charge on O2 is small, −0.20 e. Thus, it is quite meaningless to discuss which is the best valence-bond description of this inherently multiconfigurational system. Finally, we have calculated the eleven lowest ligand-field excited states of oxyheme and assigned the experimental spectrum of oxyhemoglobin with an average error of 0.24 eV.

  • Performance of density functionals for first row transition metal systems
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: Journal of Chemical Physics. - : AIP Publishing. - 0021-9606 .- 1089-7690. ; 126:1
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This article investigates the performance of five commonly used density functionals, B3LYP, BP86, PBE0, PBE, and BLYP, for studying diatomic molecules consisting of a first row transition metal bonded to H, F, Cl, Br, N, C, O, or S. Results have been compared with experiment wherever possible. Open-shell configurations are found more often in the order PBE0 > B3LYP > PBE similar to BP86 > BLYP. However, on average, 58 of 63 spins are correctly predicted by any functional, with only small differences. BP86 and PBE are slightly better for obtaining geometries, with errors of only 0.020 A. Hybrid functionals tend to overestimate bond lengths by a few picometers and underestimate bond strengths by favoring open shells. Nonhybrid functionals usually overestimate bond energies. All functionals exhibit similar errors in bond energies, between 42 and 53 kJ/mol. Late transition metals are found to be better modeled by hybrid functionals, whereas nonhybrid functionals tend to have less of a preference. There are systematic errors in predicting certain properties that could be remedied. BLYP performs the best for ionization potentials studied here, PBE0 the worst. In other cases, errors are similar. Finally, there is a clear tendency for hybrid functionals to give larger dipole moments than nonhybrid functionals. These observations may be helpful in choosing and improving existing functionals for tasks involving transition metals, and for designing new, improved functionals.

  • MOLCAS : a program package for computational chemistry
  • 2003
  • Ingår i: Computational materials science. - 0927-0256 .- 1879-0801. ; 28:2, s. 222-239
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The program system MOLCAS is a package for calculations of electronic and structural properties of molecular systems in gas, liquid, or solid phase. It contains a number of modern quantum chemical methods for studies of the electronic structure in ground and excited electronic states. A macromolecular environment can be modeled by a combination of quantum chemistry and molecular mechanics. It is further possible to describe a crystalline material using model potentials. Solvent effects can be treated using continuum models or by combining quantum chemical calculations with molecular dynamics or Monte-Carlo simulations. MOLCAS is especially adapted to treat systems with a complex electronic structure, where the simplest quantum chemical models do not work. These features together with the inclusion of relativistic effects makes it possible to treat with good accuracy systems including atoms from the entire periodic system. MOLCAS has effective methods for geometry optimization of equilibria, transition states, conical intersections, etc. This facilitates studies of excited state energy surfaces, spectroscopy, and photochemical processes.

  • On the relative stability of tetragonal and trigonal Cu(II) complexes with relevance to the blue copper proteins
  • 1998
  • Ingår i: Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0949-8257 .- 1432-1327. ; 3:2, s. 109-125

    • The role of the cysteine thiolate ligand for the unusual copper coordination geometry in the blue copper proteins has been studied by comparing the electronic structure, geometry, and energetics of a number of small Cu(II) complexes. The geometries have been optimised with the density functional B3LYP method, and energies have been calculated by multi- configurational second-order perturbation theory (the CASPT2 method). Most small inorganic Cu(II) complexes assume a tetragonal geometry, where four ligands make σ bonds to a Cu 3d orbital. If a ligand lone-pair orbital instead forms a π bond to the copper ion, it formally occupies two ligand positions in a square coordination, and the structure becomes trigonal. Large, soft, and polarisable ligands, such as SH- and SeH-, give rise to covalent copper-ligand bonds and structures close to a tetrahedron, which might be trigonal or tetragonal with approximately the same stability. On the other hand, small and hard ligands, such as NH3, OH2, and OH-, give ionic bonds and flattened tetragonal structures. It is shown that axial type 1 (blue) copper proteins have a trigonal structure with a π bond to the cysteine sulphur atom, whereas rhombic type 1 and type 2 proteins have a tetragonal structure with σ bonds to all strong ligands. The soft cysteine ligand is essential for the stabilisation of a structure that is close to a tetrahedron (either trigonal or tetragonal), which ensures a low reorganisation energy during electron transfer.

  • Quantum chemical calculations of the reorganization energy of blue- copper proteins
  • 1998
  • Ingår i: Protein Science. - : Wiley. - 0961-8368 .- 1469-896X. ; 7:12, s. 2659-2668

    • The inner-sphere reorganization energy for several copper complexes related to the active site in blue-copper protein has been calculated with the density functional B3LYP method. The best model of the blue-copper proteins, Cu(Im)2(SCH3)(S(CH'3)2)(0/+), has a self-exchange inner-sphere reorganization energy of 62 kJ/mol, which is at least 120 kJ/mol lower than for Cu(H2O)(+/2+)/4 This lowering of the reorganization energy is caused by the soft ligands in the blue-copper site, especially the cysteine thiolate and the methionine thioether groups. Soft ligands both make the potential surfaces of the complexes flatter and give rise to oxidized structures that are quite close to a tetrahedron (rather than tetragonal). Approximately half of the reorganization energy originates from changes in the copper-ligand bond lengths and half of this contribution comes from the Cu-S(Cys) bond. A tetragonal site, which is present in the rhombic type 1 blue-copper proteins, has a slightly higher (16 kJ/mol) inner-sphere reorganization energy than a trigonal site, present in the axial type I copper proteins. A site with the methionine ligand replaced by an amide group, as in stellacyanin, has an even higher reorganization energy, about 90 kJ/mol.

  • Relation between the structure and spectroscopic properties of blue copper proteins
  • 1998
  • Ingår i: Journal of the American Chemical Society. - : American Chemical Society (ACS). - 0002-7863 .- 1520-5126. ; 120:50, s. 13156-13166

    • The electronic spectra of three rhombic type 1 blue copper proteins, nitrite reductase, pseudoazurin, and cucumber basic protein, have been studied by ab initio multiconfigurational second-order perturbation theory (the CASPT2 method). The six lowest excitations have been calculated and assigned with an error of less than 1800 cm-1. The singly occupied orbital in the ground-state forms a strongly covalent antibond between the copper ion and the thiolate group of the cysteine ligand with a mixture of σ and π character. This is in contrast to the axial type 1 copper protein plastocyanin which has an almost pure Cu-S(Cys) π interaction. The two brightest lines in the absorption spectrum originate from transitions to the corresponding σ (~460 nm) and π (~600 mm) bonding orbitals. The relative intensity of these two lines is determined by the character of the ground- state orbital. It is possible to obtain a structure closely similar to the one found in nitrite reductase by geometry optimizations with the hybrid density functional B3LYP method in vacuum. It is a tetragonal structure with bonds of mainly σ character to the four ligands like normal square-planar Cu(II) complexes, but the cysteine thiolate group donates much charge to the copper ion and thereby makes the structure strongly distorted toward a tetrahedron. Both this structure and a trigonal π-bonded structure, which also can be obtained for all complexes and is an excellent model of plastocyanin, are equilibrium structures (although usually not with the same ligand models). They have virtually the same energy (within ~7 kJ/mol), and the barrier between them is low. Therefore, small differences in the structure and electrostatics of different proteins may lead to stabilization of one or the other of the structures. The results indicate that axial type 1 proteins have a trigonal structure with an almost pure Cu-S(Cys) π bond, whereas rhombic type 1 proteins have tetragonal structures with a significant σ character in this bond. Type 1.5 and 2 copper-cysteinate proteins arise when the tetragonal structure becomes more flattened than in nitrite reductase, probably by the inclusion of stronger (type 1.5) and more (type 2) ligands.

  • Theoretical study of the electronic spectrum of plastocyanin
  • 1997
  • Ingår i: Journal of the American Chemical Society. - : American Chemical Society (ACS). - 0002-7863 .- 1520-5126. ; 119:1, s. 218-226

    • The electronic spectrum of the blue copper protein plastocyanin has been studied by ab initio multiconfigurational second-order perturbation theory (the CASPT2 method). The six lowest electronic transitions have been calculated and assigned with an error of less than 2000 cm-1. The singly occupied orbital in the ground state is Cu 3d-S(Cys) 3pπ antibonding with some N(His) 2pσ character. The bright blue color originates from an electron transfer to this orbital from the corresponding Cu 3d-S(Cys)3pπ bonding orbital. The influence of different ligand models on the spectrum has been thoroughly studied; Cu(imidazole)2(SCH3)(S(CH3)2)+ as a model of CuHis2CysMet is the smallest system that gives converged results.The spectrum is surprisingly sensitive to changes in the geometry, especially in the Cu-S bond distances; a 5 pm change in the Cu-S(Cys) bond length may change the excitation energies by as much as 2000 cm-1. The effect of the surrounding protein and solvent on the transition energies has been modeled by point charges and is found to be significant for some of the transitions (up to 2000 cm-1).

  • A theoretical study of the copper–cysteine bond in blue copper proteins
  • 2001
  • Ingår i: Theoretical Chemistry Accounts. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1432-881X. ; 105:6, s. 452-462

    • The accuracy of theoretical calculations on models of the blue copper proteins is investigated using density functional theory (DFT) Becke's three-parameter hybrid method with the Lee–Yang–Parr correlation functional (B3LYP) and medium-sized basis sets. Increasing the basis set to triple-zeta quality with f-type functions on all heavy atoms and enlarging the model [up to Cu(imidazole-CH3)2(SC2H5) (CH3SC2H5)0/+] has only a limited influence on geometries and relative energies. Comparative calculations with more accurate wave-function–based methods (second-order Møller–Plesset perturbation theory, complete-active-space second-order perturbation theory, coupled-cluster method, including single and double replacement amplitudes and in addition triple replacement perturbatively) and a variety of basis sets on smaller models indicate that the DFT/B3LYP approach gives reliable results with only a small basis set dependence, whereas the former methods strongly depend on the size of the basis sets. The effect of performing the geometry optimizations in a continuum solvent is quite small, except for the flexible Cu-SMet bond. The results of this study confirm the earlier results that neither the oxidized nor the reduced copper site in the blue proteins is strained to any significant degree (in energy terms) by the protein surrounding.
