ConspectusIons are the crucial signaling components for living organisms. In cells, their transportation across pore-forming membrane proteins is vital for regulating physiological functions, such as generating ionic current signals in response to target molecule recognition. This ion transport is affected by confined interactions and local environments within the protein pore.

The ligand-docking behavior of hevein, the major latex protein from the rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis (Euphorbiaceae), has been investigated by the unguided molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method. An oligosaccharide molecule, initially placed in an arbitrary position, was allowed to move around hevein for a prolonged simulation time, on the order of microseconds, with the expectation of spontaneous ligand docking of the oligosaccharide molecule to the binding site of hevein. In the binary solution system consisting of a hevein molecule and a chito-trisaccharide (GlcNAc) molecule, three out of the six separate simulation runs successfully reproduced the complex structure of the observed binding from.

O-Protected oxacarbenium ions are key intermediates of glycosylation reactions. The knowledge of their conformational preferences is crucial for choosing the correct blocking group pattern to achieve the required stereochemical outcome. This article describes a computational study of several glucosyl oxacarbenium cations.

The potential energy curves, dipole moments and transition dipole moments of the 14 Λ-S states and 30 Ω states of TlBr cation were performed using the multi-reference configuration interaction method. The Davidson correction and spin-orbit coupling effects were also considered. The spectroscopic properties and transition properties of TlBr cation were reported at the first time.

The quantification of glyphosate (Gly) and its metabolite aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) in food is often impaired by matrix components. Specifically, interaction between the analytes and natural matrix components in food leads to reduced analyte recovery rates. Here, we studied how the addition of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) impacted the QuPPe recovery rates of Gly and its metabolite in eight mostly problematic matrices using tandem mass spectrometry.
