Quantifying Amide-Aromatic Interactions at Molecular and Atomic Levels : Experimentally Determined Enthalpic and Entropic Contributions to Interactions of Amide sp2O, N, C and sp3C Unified Atoms with Naphthalene sp2C Atoms in Water

In addition to amide hydrogen bonds and the hydrophobic effect, interactions involving π-bonded sp2 atoms of amides, aromatics, and other groups occur in protein self-assembly processes including folding, oligomerization, and condensate formation. These interactions also occur in aqueous solutions of amide and aromatic compounds, where they can be quantified. Previous analysis of thermodynamic coefficients quantifying net-favorable interactions of amide compounds with other amides and aromatics revealed that interactions of amide sp2O with amide sp2N unified atoms (presumably C═O···H-N hydrogen bonds) and amide/aromatic sp2C (lone pair π, n-π*) are particularly favorable. Sp3C-sp3C (hydrophobic), sp3C-sp2C (hydrophobic, CH-π), sp2C-sp2C (hydrophobic, π-π), and sp3C-sp2N interactions are favorable, sp2C-sp2N interactions are neutral, while sp2O-sp2O and sp2N-sp2N self-interactions and sp2O-sp3C interactions are unfavorable. Here, from determinations of favorable effects of 14 amides on naphthalene solubility at 10, 25, and 45 °C, we dissect amide-aromatic interaction free energies into enthalpic and entropic contributions and find these vary systematically with amide composition. Analysis of these results yields enthalpic and entropic contributions to intrinsic strengths of interactions of amide sp2O, sp2N, sp2C, and sp3C unified atoms with aromatic sp2C atoms. For each interaction, enthalpic and entropic contributions have the same sign and are much larger in magnitude than the interaction free energy itself. The amide sp2O-aromatic sp2C interaction is enthalpy-driven and entropically unfavorable, consistent with direct chemical interaction (e.g., lone pair-π), while amide sp3C- and sp2C-aromatic sp2C interactions are entropy-driven and enthalpically unfavorable, consistent with hydrophobic effects. These findings are relevant for interactions involving π-bonded sp2 atoms in protein processes.
