In this paper, a new parametric quantum mechanical molecular model, AM1 (Austin Model l), based on the NDDO approximation, is described, in which the major weaknesses of MNDO, in particular failure to reproduce hydrogen bonds, have been overcome without any increase in computing time.Abstract:
A new parametric quantum mechanical molecular model, AM1 (Austin Model l), based on the NDDO approximation, is described. In it the major weaknesses of MNDO, in particular failure to reproduce hydrogen bonds, have been overcome without any increase in computing time. Results for 167 molecules are reported. Parameters are currently available for C, H, 0, and N.read more

Study on the multiple mechanisms underlying the reaction between hydroxyl radical and phenolic compounds by qualitative structure and activity relationship
TL;DR: The QSAR model so established here was based on the elucidation of the complex molecular mechanisms, and may reasonably predict the antioxidant activity using simple experimental and calculated parameters.

TL;DR: The increased quantum yield in the fluorinated complex is correlated with a decrease in the bipy-europium(III) distance, a closer match of the lowest ligand-centered triplet state (that level which is primarily responsible for the energy transfer from the ligands to the europium (III)), and the lower vibrational energy of the C-F bonds relative to theC-H bonds.

Conformational transitions in N-linked oligosaccharides.
S. W. Homans,Raymond A. Dwek,Jonathan Boyd,M. Mahmoudian,W. G. Richards,Thomas W. Rademacher +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that while several primary sequence differences are "passive", certain key residues modulate the orientation of the alpha 1-6 arms and may be proximal or distal to the site of the conformational change.

Bond-breaking bifurcation states in carbon nanotube fracture
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that at low temperature, a single bond rotation creates a dislocation-dipole favored thermodynamically under large stress, and this instability proceeds through the formation of a distinct series of virtual defects that only exist at larger tension.

Size-dependent surface tension and Tolman's length of droplets.
Haiming Lu,Qing Jiang +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that gammalv(D) drops monotonically with the size of the droplets in the nanometer region, and the Tolman's length is always positive and becomes longer when the droplet size is decreased.
