An ab Initio Study on the Torsional Surface of Alkanes and Its Effect on Molecular Simulations of Alkanes and a DPPC Bilayer
Abstract
Energies of 119 conformations of normal alkanes from butane to heptane were calculated at approximately the CCSD(T)/cc-pVQZ level. Energies of gauche (g) conformers relative to trans (t) decrease as chain length increases. In what is termed the "positive pentane effect", adjacent gauche conformers of the same sign are stabilized compared to nonadjacent conformers; e.g., for hexane the energies of tgt, tgg, and gtg are 0.600, 0.930, and 1.18 kcal/mol, respectively. Torsional terms in the CHARMM27 (C27) force field were fit to the calculated QM energies to yield a revised potential, C27r. Molecular dynamics simulations of normal alkanes (heptane, decane, tridecane, and pentadecane) with C27r yield higher populations of gauche states, increased transition rates, and improved agreement with experiment as compared to C27. In addition, C27r simulations of a hydrated DPPC lipid bilayer yield improved agreement with the experimental NMR deuterium order parameters for the aliphatic chain ends.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
