Molecular Simulation of b-Cyclodextrin Complexation with Vitamin K3

Abstract

Interaction between a b-cyclodextrin molecule and various number of water molecules was studied using molecular dynamics. It was found that both the interaction energy between the b-cyclodextrin molecule and water and the number of hydrogen bonds between them increase with the increase of water molecule up to 205 inclusively. So, b-cyclodextrin’s solvation sphere consists of at least 205 water molecules .Complexaton of two b-cyclodextrin molecules taken in different mutual orientation (“ head to tail”, “tail to tail”, “head to head”) with the molecule vitamin K3, placed between them was also studied.
