Cation-π interactions have been observed in a wide range of biological contexts. In this paper,we present an overview of the typical cation-π interactions in biological systems,the experimental and theoretical investigations on cation-π interactions,as well as the research results on cation-π interactions in our group.展开更多

It was reported that the permeation of the ion channel is correlated with the hydrogen bond network among His37 residues and the cation-π interactions between His37 and Trp41. In the present study,the hydrogen bonding network of 4-methyl-imidazoles was built to mimic the hydrogen bonds between His37 residues,and the cation-π interactions between 4-methyl-imidazolium and indole systems were selected to represent the interac-tions between His37 and Trp41. Then,quantum chemistry calculations at the MP2/6-311G level were carried out to explore the properties of the hydrogen bonds and the cation-π interactions. The calcula-tion results indicate that the binding strength of the N-H···N hydrogen bond between imidazole rings is up to -6.22 kcal·mol-1,and the binding strength of the strongest cation-π interaction is up to -18.8 kcal·mol-1(T-shaped interaction) or -12.3 kcal·mol-1(parallel stacking interaction). Thus,the calcu-lated binding energies indicate that it is possible to control the permeation of the M2 ion channel through the hydrogen bond network and the cation-π interactions by altering the pH values.展开更多
