X-ray crystal structure analysis revealed amino acid derivative Schiff base copper(II) complexes were obtained. Herein we discuss primarily on the binding mode of copper(II) of the complexes obtained with egg white lysozyme. The electron density of copper(II) ions was confirmed by X-ray crystal structure analysis. The Val derivative Schiff base copper(II) complex was weakly bound at Arg114 of egg white lysozyme. In other copper(II) complexes, binding of copper(II) ions with dissociated ligands to various residues was observed. The binding sites of copper(II) ions were compared with computational scientific predictions.展开更多

Among several spectroscopic investigations, ESR clearly showed that the nitrogen atom of the amino acid residue of lysozyme was bound to the paramagnetic copper(II) ion of the complex, and UV light irradiation confirmed photoisomerization of the azobenzene moiety of the ligand to cis-form. The binding mode was considered by means of spectroscopic as well as computational methods, whereas complete crystallographic verification was still a preliminary stage.展开更多

This review article introduces intermolecular interactions discussed with Hirshfeld surface analysis and 2D fingerprint plots. In addition, using CIF files obtained from our previous results, Hirshfeld surface analysis was newly performed, and the resulting 3DHirshfeld surfaces, 2D print plots, molecular structural features, and crystal structure relationships were described. Classification of their intermolecular interactions, statistical discussion focused on crystalline water and perspective on ligand-protein docking are also mentioned.展开更多
