Application

N-Methylacetamide can be used:
  • To synthesize N-methyl-N-(3-thienyl)acetamide by reacting with 3-bromothiophene in the presence of CuI catalyst and N,N′-dimethylethylenediamine.(1)
  • As a ligand to synthesize the zirconium(IV) complex, Zr(MeC(O)NMe)4 by reacting with tetrakis(dimethylamido)zirconium.(2)

IR probes have been extensively used to monitor local electrostatic and solvation dynamics. Particularly, their vibrational frequencies are highly sensitive to local solvent electric field around an IR probe. Here, we show that the experimentally measured vibrational frequency shifts can

For spectroscopic studies of peptide and protein thermal denaturation it is important to single out the contribution of the solvent to the spectral changes from those originated in the molecular structure. To obtain insights into the origin and size of

A recently formulated intermolecular potential has been adapted to describe the interaction of the N-methylacetamide (NMA) dimer and of the NMA-H(2)O adduct. The pure electrostatic component of the intermolecular potential functional representation is as usual expressed in terms of a

Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and instantaneous normal mode (INMs) analyses are used to study the vibrational relaxation of the C-H stretching modes (ν(s)(CH₃)) of deuterated N-methylacetamide (NMAD) in aqueous (D2O) solution. The INMs are identified unequivocally in terms of

Most current biomolecular simulations are based on potential energy functions that treat the electrostatic energy as a sum of pairwise Coulombic interactions between effective fixed atomic charges. This approximation, in which many-body induced polarization effects are included in an average
