DPPC (dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine) and DMPC (dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine) are taken asphospholipids with an equal polar heads and with the difference in the length of hydrocarbonchains. Results obtain from the structural optimization of the isolated DPPC and DMPC in the gasphase, at the Hartree-Fock level of theory by means of STO-3g,3-21G, 6-31G and 6-31G* basissets. the most important d...

it seems that the general applicability of the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (qtaim) oncharacterizing the bonded interactions is still questionable even afier 30 years since its formulation. fordemonstrating the generality of bonding schemes in qta im, ea( isomers were chosen as the modelsystems and the results from molecular charge density analysis and vibrational normal modes werecompa...

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to investigate the effects of a carbon nanotube (CNT) on the properties of the fluorouracil (F-Uracil) anticancer drug. To achieve the purpose, a molecular model including both of F-Uracil and CNT molecules was created to represent the CNT@F-Uracil compound. The optimized parameters indicated that the new compound could show new proper...

In the present work, the substituent effect on the strength of H-bonds in the guanine – cytosine base pair was studied when the substituents are connected to the guanine base through a phenyl ring. In this study, guanine was substituted in the H8 and H9 positions by electron donating (ED) and electron withdrawing (EW) groups mediated by a phenyl ring in the gas phase. The calculations were perf...

In this study the interaction of cis-PtCl2(NH3)2 complex and graphene were investigated with MPW1PW91method in gas and solvent phases. The solvent effect was examined by the self-consistent reaction fieldtheory (SCRF) based on Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM). The selected solvents were chloroform,chlorobenzene, bromoethane, dimethyldisulfide, and dichloroethane. The solvent ...

coordination of cu+ ions adsorbed on plausible sites of a silicalite-2 lattice has been investigated computationally via hybrid density functional theory method at the b3lyp/6-311+g* and b3lyp/def2-tzvp levels of theory using molecular models of the active site. the symmetrical coordination of cu+ ions to almost five oxygen atoms of the all-silica framework in six-membered ring (6mr) sites of t...

The character of the intermolecular interactions in Cl2-HX (X =F, Cl and Br) complexes has been investigated by means of the second-order Möller–Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) and the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results show that there are two types of lowest interaction potential equilibrium structures in the interactions between Cl2 and HX: X∙∙∙Cl type geometry and hy...
