Popis: | The gas-phase proton-transfer reaction mechanism of intracellular second-messenger 3′,5′-cyclic nucleotide (cAMPm) has been theoretically investigated at the B3LYP/6-31G∗ ∗ level. One or two H2O molecules have been used to simulate the catalyst. It is found that H shift reaction between conformation Bm and conformation Dm of cAMPm involves a cyclic transition state with one or two water molecules as a shuttle. Furthermore, H shift reaction proceeds easily with the participation of two water molecules. The results provide evidence in theory to study proton-transfer reaction mechanism of related phosphodiesters. Our present calculations have rationalized all the possible reaction channels. |
