In coordination complexes, the temperature is very important. It plays an important role in complex formation reaction. Temperature affects metal-ligand stability constant (log K) and proton-ligand stability constant (pK). The metal ion Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+ at different temperatures form complexes with 4-sulfamethoxazoleazo-3-methyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one are reported. The metal-ligand stability constant (logK) and proton-ligand stability constant (pK) of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) with organic ligand n-[2-hydroxy-1-napthalydene]-2-methylanilline at 0.1 M ionic strength in 60% dioxane-water medium is studied.

In all cases, logK1 is greater than logK2. The ratio logK1/logK2 is positive and greater than one in all systems. This implies that there is little or no steric hindrance to the addition of the secondary ligand molecules. The difference between logK1 - logK2 is usually positive. If the difference between logK1 and logK2 is less than 2.5, simultaneous formation of 1:1 and 1:2 complexes occurs and if it is more than 2.5, then stepwise complex formation occurs. In the present case, in all systems, it is less than 2.5.

Although all four exhibit medicinal benefits, the catechin cited in the literature the most is EGCG, so derivatives of this catechin were selected for these studies. Literature searches identified catechins as biologically active compounds for a diverse set of diseases ranging from cancer, metabolism, neurological, and neuromuscular ailments. A diverse set of potential protein targets for docking with catechin derivatives was first identified as a list (n=48). The targets were then selected based on the presence of 3D protein coordinates for these targets provided by the Rutgers Consortium for Structural Biology (RCSB) Protein Data Bank (PDB) (n=10). The surfaces of the 3D protein targets were evaluated with computational methods to identify potential binding sites for the EGCG catechin derivatives. Static and flexible docking was done using target protein binding sites performed with the catechin derivatives followed by molecular dynamics (MD). MD protocols were run to confirm binding in the physiological range and environment. In summary, the results of computational protocols confirmed predicted binding by docking with MD of several catechin derivatives to be used as scaffolds once validated in lab-based assays.

Signicant reduction of barrier height (below 20 kcal mol-1) is achieved upon ad-\u0000dition of another H2O as catalyst.
