Calculation of NH...pi hydrogen bond energies in basic pancreatic trypsin inhibitor.
Ab initio molecular orbital procedures have been employed to investigate associations of the Tyr35 aromatic ring with Gly37 NH and Asn44 NHz in the X-ray crystal structure of basic pancreatic trypsin inhibitor. Formamide and phenol were used to model the key features in the protein. The calculations provide evidence for energetically favorable NH...pi hydrogen bonding.
