Table 2. Calculated binding sites and interaction energies between water and the R-type valinomycin monomers (MR) on the Cu(111) surface. A more negative energy indicates that the calculated system is more stable.
MR | Mode a | Mode b | Mode c | Mode d | Mode e | Mode f |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
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) | C = O(1) |
Interaction energy (kcal/mol) | −5.59 | −11.95 | −8.20 | −7.21 | −13.80 | −6.54 |
Note: The code number of the nitrogen or oxygen atoms is consistent with the structural formula of valinomycin in Figure 1a.
