Abstract An approximate expression is obtained for the resonance energy of benzenoid hydrocarbons. The resonance energy is shown to depend in a simple manner on the number of six-membered cycles and on the number of Kekule structural formulae of the molecule. By this approach, the resonance energies of very large benzenoid hydrocarbons can be determined.

A semiempirical topological formula (2) is derived, which reproduces Aihara’s resonance energy [1] of benzenoid hydrocarbons with a chemically negligible error of 2 -3%.

Within series of isomeric benzenoid hydrocarbons there is a very good linear correlation between the topological resonance energy (TRE) and the total π-electron energy (Eπ ). Furthermore, the slope of the TRE vs. Eπ regression line is almost independent of the benzenoid isomers considered, and (for all sets of isomers) is nearly equal to 0.5. This implies that comparison of benzenoid isomers with regard to their aromaticity can be made, with equal success, by using both TRE and Eπ . However, Eπ is computed significantly simpler than TRE, and thus advantage should be given to the former. Correlations between TRE and Eπ exist also in the case of non-benzenoid isomers (both alternant and non-alternant), but are of much inferior quality.

Abstract P-type ATPases transport ions across biological membranes against concentration gradients and are essential for all cells. They use the energy from ATP hydrolysis to propel large intramolecular movements, which drive vectorial transport of ions. Tight coordination of the motions of the pump is required to couple the two spatially distant processes of ion binding and ATP hydrolysis. Here, we review our current understanding of the structural dynamics of P-type ATPases, focusing primarily on Ca2+ pumps. We integrate different types of information that report on structural dynamics, primarily time-resolved fluorescence experiments including single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer and molecular dynamics simulations, and interpret them in the framework provided by the numerous crystal structures of sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase. We discuss the challenges in characterizing the dynamics of membrane pumps, and the likely impact of new technologies on the field.
