<p></p><p><b>ABSTRACT</b>. <a></a><a></a><a>Earlier QM/MM studies of the resting state of vanadium chloroperoxidase (VCPO) focused on the diprotonated states of the vanadate cofactor. Herein, we report a new extensive QM/MM study that includes the tri- and quadprotonated states of VCPO at neutral pH. We identify certain di- and triprotonated states as being candidates for the resting state based on a comparison of relative energies. The quadprotonated states as well as some of the triprotonated states are ruled out as the resting state. An Atoms-in-Molecules (AIM) analysis of the complex hydrogen bonding around the vanadate cofactor helps to explain the relative energies of the protonation states considered herein, and it also indicates new hydrogen bonding which has not been recognized previously. A Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) study is presented to give a better understanding of the electronic structure of the vanadate co-factor.</a></p><br><p></p>

In D–X⋯A bonding (X = H/Cl/Li), there is a conservation of bond order that includes both ionicity and covalency in both D–X and X⋯A bonds. This should be applicable to any atom X involved in intermolecular bonding.

Next-generation quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) was used to investigate the competition between hydrogen bonding and halogen bonding for the recently proposed (Y = Br, I, At)/halogenabenzene/NH3 complex. Differences between using the SR-ZORA Hamiltonian and effective core potentials (ECPs) to account for relativistic effects with increased atomic mass demonstrated that next-generation QTAIM is a much more responsive tool than conventional QTAIM. Subtle details of the competition between halogen bonding and hydrogen bonding were observed, indicating a mixed chemical character shown in the 3-D paths constructed from the bond-path framework set B. In addition, the use of SR-ZORA reduced or entirely removed spurious features of B on the site of the halogen atoms.

<p><a>Earlier QM/MM studies of the resting state of vanadium chloroperoxidase (VCPO) focused on the diprotonated forms of the vanadate cofactor. But recent arguments have been made that vanadate is in a quadprotonated form at pH 6.3. In this regard, an extensive QM/MM study on various possible protonation states of VCPO has been carried out. A large decrease in energy (about 200 kcal/mol per additional proton) has been found while going from mono-, di-, tri- to quad- protonated states. Separate QM studies on the isolated cofactor shows a similar trend in energies for different protonation states. A natural bond orbital (NBO) study shows extensive delocalization in quadprotonated states, and an Atoms-in-Molecules (AIM) study predicts some important hydrogen bonding not reported earlier.</a></p>
