Ab initio Hartree-Fock/6-31G** calculation on 9-beta-D-arabinofuranosyladenine-5'-monophosphate molecule: application to the analysis of its IR and Raman spectra.
9-beta-D-arabinofuranosyaldenine-5'-monophosphate (5'-ara-AMP) is an arabinonucleotide that has antiviral and antitumor activity. The accurate knowledge of the nature of its vibrational modes is a valuable step for the forthcoming elucidation of drug-nucleotide and drug-enzyme interactions. The FTIR and FT Raman spectra (4000-30 cm(-1)) of 5'ara-AMP and two deuterated derivatives ara-AMP-d(C8) (deuteration in C8) and ara-AMP-d7 (deuteration in C8, amino and hydroxyl groups) are reported. Theoretical vibrational calculations were performed using the Hartree-Fock/6-31G** method. An assignment of the observed spectra is proposed considering the scaled potential energy distribution of the vibrational modes of the 5'ara-AMP molecule and the observed band shifts by deuteration. The scaled ab initio frequencies are in good agreement with the experimental data (<3 cm(-1) SD).
