Table 1. Calculated binding sites and interaction energies between water and the L-type valinomycin monomers (ML) on the Cu(111) surface. A more negative energy indicates that the calculated system is more stable.
ML | Mode a | Mode b | Mode c | Mode d | Mode e |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Binding sites | N(1)H | O = C − O(2); C = O(18) | C = O(3) | O = C − O(5) | C = O(1); C = O(4) |
Interaction energy (kcal/mol) | −6.00 | −12.57 | −9.07 | −7.44 | −13.25 |
Note: The code number of the nitrogen or oxygen atoms is consistent with the structural formula of valinomycin in Figure 1a.
