Molecular Docking and Energies Studies of 4-(Trifluoromethyl) pyridine-2-carboxylic acid

Keywords: Energy, DFT, Molecular Docking

Abstract

The density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to estimate the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) – the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energies, energy gap, and the global chemical reactivity descriptors of 4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (4TPCA). The ionization potential, electron affinity, electronegativity, chemical hardness, softness, chemical potential, and electrophilic index were calculated by using the DFT/B3LYP/6-311++G (d, p) level. The B-DNA interaction of 4TPCA was analyzed by molecular docking simulations. AutoDock4 program was used to generate the binding energy of 4TPCA. Out of twenty docked confirmations obtained for 4TPCA one which has the lowest binding energy was selected.
