Figure 5
Plots of the interaction density isosurfaces at isovalue 0.001 a.u. (blue = positive and red = negative) for ibuprofenate [parts (a), (c) and (e)] and sila-ibuprofenate [parts (b), (d) and (f)] in different environments: (a)/(b) solvation model, (c)/(d) crystal QM/MM and (e)/(f) protein QM/MM. Difference measures are given in Table 2. By definition, the interaction density is P/C/S minus G. Similar representations at a higher isovalue are presented in Fig. S6, which highlights that the major effect is located in the carboxylate groups that form the strongest intermolecular interactions. |
