| Abstract | We perform quantum chemical (QC) calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT) approach for biologically relevant zwitterionic polypeptides, comprising of isolated calcium (Ca2+) ion bound EF-hand loops of calmodulin (CaM). The HOMO and the LUMO levels are observed to be dominated by terminal capping contributions which fall off exponentially in neighboring energy levels. These levels with negligible capping contributions are considered as HOMO− and LUMO+. In loop 1 and loop 2 of CaM, HOMO− and LUMO+ are dominated by acidic aspartates and polar residues whereas only polar side chains contribute in the energy levels of loop 3 and loop 4. We find that the HOMO− of loop 3 shows strong localized electron density on the side chain phenyl ring of tyrosine. This is an indication of potential nucleophilic sites for tyrosine phosphorylation in CaM. Our calculation provides a systematic way of interpreting the functionality of zwitterionic polypeptides at physiological conditions from the electronic energy spectra. Moreover, the capping levels indicate possible device applications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
