Herein we report the dissolution mechanism of lignin in cholinium-based ionic liquids by molecular dynamics simulations. Multiple hydrogen bonds, longer HB lifetimes, and higher pKa of [Ch][Lys] makes it a better solvent for lignin than acidic ILs.

Intercalative binding of the antitumor drugs ametantrone and mitoxantrone to the dodecamer duplex d(CGCGAGCTCGCG)2 was studied by applying molecular dynamics in water with the GROMOS 87 force field. A number of reasonable binding orientations were tested by short pre-simulations. It was shown that in energetically favourable orientation the anthraquinone chromophore is perpendicular to the direction of inter-base hydrogen bonds. Helically shaped side-chains of the drugs fit to the minor groove. The best orientation obtained in pre-simulations was applied in the main simulations. Small but significant differences were found between structures of intercalation complexes of the two drugs with the dodecamer duplex, the mitoxantrone complex possessing more favourable energy. The molecular nature of interactions responsible for those differences has been discussed.
