The photophysical properties of oxyluciferin, the light emitter responsible for firefly bioluminescence, are pH‐dependent. One of the potential proton acceptor/donor is adenosine monophosphate (AMP). We have studied three oxyluciferin synthetic analogues with or without AMP, in water, in the pH=5 to 11 range, using both experimental steady‐state absorption spectroscopy or the recently developed computational protocol that uses constant pH molecular dynamics and then hybrid QM/MM calculations (CpHMD‐then‐QM/MM). The latter features a systematic investigation of all the protonation microstates using molecular dynamics simulations coupled to thousands hybrid QM/MM vertical excitation energies. Our results demonstrate that AMP does not significantly modify the visible light absorption of the analogues, whatever the pH value. We also show that CpHMD‐then‐QM/MM is capable to qualitatively reproduce the pH‐dependent absorption spectrum of the analogues, despite the employed low QM level of theory.

磷酸一磷酸腺苷存在下的氧化荧光素类似物的pH依赖性吸收光谱

萤火虫素(负责萤火虫生物发光的发光体)的光物理特性取决于pH。潜在的质子受体/供体之一是单磷酸腺苷(AMP)。我们使用实验稳态吸收光谱法或最近开发的使用恒定pH分子动力学然后混合QM / MM的计算方案,研究了在pH = 5到11范围内的水中有或没有AMP的三种氧荧光素合成类似物。计算(CpHMD-then-QM / MM)。后者的特点是使用耦合至数千种混合QM / MM垂直激发能的分子动力学模拟对所有质子化微态进行系统研究。我们的结果表明,无论pH值如何,AMP都不会显着改变类似物的可见光吸收率。
