Vinblastine is belonging to vinca alkaloid family which is a chemical analogue of vincristine molecules. It has a high potential for attaching to tubulin of microtubules, therefore inhibiting the assembly of that biomolecules. Human EGFRs receptors are cell surfaces receptors proteins including three different domains which are known extracellular ligand-binding domain, trans-membranes hydrophobic domain and cytoplasmic C-terminal domain with tyrosine kinase. The Chemical & physical vibrational spectral data obtained from NMR, NBO and IR spectra based on the results of the theoretical calculations using DFT and HF methods. The fundamental vibrational modes were characterized depending on the stabilities of Herceptin in different dielectric constants. Thus, the goal of this article is to evaluate and quantify and qualify of the mechanism in various solvents.

The major bovine milk protein β-lactoglobulin (β-LG), a member of the lipocalin superfamily, can bind a wide range of ligands and act as a transporter. In the present study, the combination of the hydrophobic molecule 2-(p-toluidino)-6-naphthalenesulfonic acid sodium salt (TNS) with β-LG was analyzed using fluorescence spectroscopy and AutoDock modeling to discern the major binding sites of the protein and to determine the capacity of other small ligands to bind with β-LG by utilizing TNS as a reference. The experimental data indicate that in a neutral pH environment, TNS is located in the hydrophobic domain of the protein, 2.5 nm away from the Trp19 residues of β-LG. The binding constant of the small molecule to β-LG is (3.30 ± 0.32) × 106 (mol L–1)−1. An interaction model between the ligand and β-LG was developed, and AutoDock modeling also demonstrates that the ligand is located in the central hydrophobic calyx of β-LG within the regions covered by the Förster radius of the Trp19–ligand pair. Although the interaction between the ligand and β-LG is affected by increasing ion strength, pH change, and heat treatment, the complex is maintained until the secondary structure of β-LG is destroyed. Additionally, the ligand binding stabilizes the folding of β-LG. The binding constants of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) to β-LG were obtained using competitive ligand binding measurements. With a sensitive fluorescence signal and stable complex, the ligand could be utilized as a reference to detect the binding of other small ligands to β-LG.

FT-Raman and FT-IR spectra ofcisandtrans2-thioxohexahydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one are reported. Both compounds are dimers in the solid phase, withC2symmetry. This work contributes to the knowledge of data which are rather scarce for quinazolinones.

Theoretical calculations 6-311++G(d,p) have been performed in order to obtain binding energies and molecular properties of complexes involving nitrous oxide ( N2O ) and two HX (X = F, Cl, Br and CN ) molecules. Our calculations have revealed the existence of eleven stable structures. The vibrational changes which take place in the HX acid after complexation follow the usual behavior: the HX stretching frequency is shifted downward whereas its IR intensity is much enhanced. The new vibrational modes arising upon H-bond formation, were verified, especially, those associated with the out-of-plane and in-plane HX bending modes, which are pure rotations in the HX isolated molecule.

A computational study of octahydridosilasequioxane, Si 8 O 12 H 8 , as a free molecule and when embedded in the unit cell R -3, Z =3, showed that the point group of the free molecule is indeed O h , but that its crystal symmetry is reduced to C 3i . Since the molecular and site-group symmetries influence the vibrational structure of a molecule, a full computational vibrational analysis of the isolated molecule and when embedded in the crystal lattice, is reported here. The analysis of the free molecular spectra given here agrees with that of its experimental infra-red (IR)-spectra and allows the assignment of all the vibrational modes, while the computed phonon dispersion of the crystal confirms the assignment of the internal vibrational modes of the molecule in the crystal. The computed and experimental IR spectra as well as Raman spectra show no indication of serious vibrational intermolecular coupling owing to the presence of multiple molecules in the unit cell. This may be the result of a weak intermolecular vibrational coupling in the solid state, which may feature in the low-frequency modes.
