Article Title: | Ab initio studies of aromatic‐aromatic and aromatic‐polar interactions in the binding of substrate and inhibitor to dihydrofolate reductase |
Abstract: | Aromatic‐aromatic and aromatic‐polar interactions are investigated by performing ab initio Hartree‐Fock calculations. Binding energies and optimum distances between subsystems are obtained. It is found that the binding energy between two benzene rings is of 3.1 kcal/mol when correlation effects are included, while the serine aromatic complexes energies of binding range from 1.9 to 3.1 kcal/mol.
