    Study Notes

    Molecular Interactions and Energy Calculations

    • Dipole moments are measures of molecule polarity, calculated based on charge distribution and symmetry.
    • Dipole-dipole interactions involve attraction or repulsion between molecules based on their dipole moments.
    • London interactions, named after Fritz London, involve fluctuation-induced dipole attraction between atoms.
    • Van der Waals repulsion, named after Joannes Diderik van der Waals, is a universal repulsion between atoms and molecules at short distances.
    • The London-van der Waals interaction is represented by the 6-12 potential, summing attractive and repulsive energies.
    • Noncovalent interactions, such as charge-charge, dipole-dipole, and London attraction, show long-range charge-charge interactions and short-range London attraction.
    • The lowest energy conformation involves bonded interactions like bond stretching, angle bending, and torsion angle rotation, as well as nonbonded interactions.
    • Total energy in the lowest energy conformation is the sum of bond stretching, angle bending, and nonbonded interaction energies.
    • Energy calculations involve docking for predicting molecular interactions and calculating interaction energy.
    • Hydrogen bonds, mediated by a hydrogen atom between electronegative atoms, contribute to the energy of a structure.
    • Hydrophobic effects help determine protein folding, membrane fit, and lipid interactions in water.
    • Understanding entropy in condensed phases, such as phospholipid bilayers and micelles, is challenging in computational chemistry.
