An ab initio study of tropolone was carried out at the 3-21G level, with full optimization of the geometry, and the intramolecular proton transfer in the ground state was analysed. The two equivalent Cs structures can be converted to each other via a C2v symmetry transition state with a double minimum potential. The splitting of the ground vibrational state generated by proton tunneling was determined by procedures of variable complexity and found to be in the range Δ = 0.1–0.15 cm−1, i.e., clearly smaller than experimental predictions. Key words: tropolone, intramolecular hydrogen bond, proton transfer, ab initio calculations, molecular structure.

AbstractThe FO motor in FOF1 ATP synthase rotates its rotor driven by the proton motive force. While earlier studies elucidated basic mechanisms therein, recent advances in high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy enabled to investigate proton-transfer coupled FO rotary dynamics at structural details. Here, developing a hybrid Monte Carlo/molecular dynamics simulation method, we studied reversible dynamics of a yeast mitochondrial FO. We obtained the 36°-stepwise rotations of FO per one proton transfer in the ATP synthesis mode and the proton pumping in the ATP hydrolysis mode. In both modes, the most prominent path alternatively sampled states with two and three deprotonated glutamates in c-ring, by which the c-ring rotates one step. The free energy transduction efficiency in the model FO motor reaches ~ 90% in optimal conditions. Moreover, mutations in key glutamate and a highly conserved arginine increased proton leakage and markedly decreased the coupling, in harmony with previous experiments.
