Ring puckering: a metric for evaluating the accuracy of AM1, PM3, PM3CARB-1, and SCC-DFTB carbohydrate QM/MM simulations

CB Barnett, KJ Naidoo - The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2010 - ACS Publications
The puckered conformations of furanose and pyranose carbohydrate rings are central to
analyzing the action of enzymes on carbohydrates. Enzyme reaction mechanisms are generally …

[BOOK][B] Kierkegaard, pietism and holiness

CB Barnett - 2016 - taylorfrancis.com
SÃren Kierkegaard wrote that Pietism is 'the one and only consequence of Christianity'. Praise
of this sort - particularly when coupled with Kierkegaard's significant personal connections …

Stereoelectronic and solvation effects determine hydroxymethyl conformational preferences in monosaccharides

CB Barnett, KJ Naidoo - The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2008 - ACS Publications
Although the conformational preferences in glucose and galactose have been studied since
the early 1970s, only recently have the glucose and galactose hydroxymethyl populations …

Free Energies from Adaptive Reaction Coordinate Forces (FEARCF): an application to ring puckering

CB Barnett, KJ Naidoo - Molecular Physics, 2009 - Taylor & Francis
Previously an adaptive reaction coordinate force biasing method based on probability
distributions has been used to calculate the free energy of conformation, configuration and …

Molecular details from computational reaction dynamics for the cellobiohydrolase I glycosylation reaction

CB Barnett, KA Wilkinson… - Journal of the American …, 2011 - ACS Publications
Glycosylation of cellobiose hydrolase I (CBHI), is a key step in the processing and degradation
of cellulose. Here the pathways and barriers of the reaction are explored using the free …
