[ 1 ] - Quantum Mechanical Approach for the Catalytic Mechanism of Dinuclear Zinc Metallo-β-lactamase by Penicillin and Cephalexin: Kinetic and Thermodynamic Points of View
Metallo-β-lactamases (MβL) catalyzing the hydrolytic cleavage of the four-membered β-lactam ring in broad spectrum of antibiotics and therefore inactivating the drug; However, the mechanism of these enzymes is still not well understood. Electronic structure and electronic energy of metallo-β-lactamase active center, two inhibitors of this enzyme including penicillin and cephalexin, and differen...
[ 2 ] - Computational Study on Reduction Potential of [CoP4N2(OH2)2]2+ as a Super-Efficient Catalyst in Electrochemical Hydrogen Evolution
Hydrogen is considered as a unique choice for future world’s resources. The important parameter in the process of hydrogen production is the value of reduction potential for the used catalyst, in direct contact with consumed energy in process. The application of computational methods to design and modify molecular catalysts is highly regarded. This study sought to explore Density Functional...
[ 3 ] - Theoretical Study on Glycosyl Group Effect on Antioxidant Ability of Chrysin Bioflavonoid
Antioxidants are compounds which can prevent biological and chemical substances from oxidative damage by reactive oxygen species. Flavonoids are the most important class of polyphenolic compounds that because of their antioxidant characters possess biological activities and pharmacological effects. Chrysin-6-C-fucopyranoside and chrysin-3-malonyl-6-C-fucopyranoside are mono C-glycosyl derivativ...
