AbstractInteraction of Ni complex(Salen= N, N´-ethylene bis(salicylideneimine)) with hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) was studied by absorption spectroscopy, competitive binding study and thermal denaturation study. The protein binding affinity of Ni complex was found to be (3.0×103M−1). The binding plot obtained from the absorption titration data gives a binding constant of 2.4 (± 0.3)×103 M...

Topological indices are the real number of a molecular structure obtained via molecular graph G. Topological indices are used for QSPR, QSAR and structural design in chemistry, nanotechnology, and pharmacology. Moreover, physicochemical properties such as the boiling point, the enthalpy of vaporization, and stability can be estimated by QSAR/QSPR models. In this study, the QSPR (Quantitative St...

We implemented a coarse-graining procedure to construct mesoscopic models of complex molecules. The final aim is to obtain better results on properties depending on slow modes of the molecules. Therefore the number of particles considered in molecular dynamics simulations is reduced while conserving as many properties of the original substance as possible. We address the problem of finding nonb...

A stochastic biogeochemical model has been developed to simulate the transformation and degradation of natural organic matter (NOM) using an agent-based algorithm which treats each molecule as a separate and potentially unique entity. Molecules react when a pseudo-random number is lower than the calculated reaction probability in a given time step; repeated time steps simulate the transformatio...

Reverse micellar systems are nanofluids with unique properties that make them attractive in high selectivity separation processes, especially for biological compounds. Understanding the phase behavior and thermodynamic properties of these nanosystems is the first step in process design. Separation of components by these nanosystems is performed upon contact of aqueous and reverse micellar phase...

the molecular geometry of complex of adenine with 8 water molecules was calculated with hartree-fock (hf). the standard 6-31g(d) basis set has been employed. the existence of c-h…o hydrogen bonds between the water molecules and the hydrophobic part of nucleobase is stablished. we optimized structures and computed interaction energies of all complexes of adenine with water molecules step by step...
