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

Laccase-mediated oxidation of the steroid hormone 17β-estradiol in organic solvents
TL;DR: Laccase-mediated oxidation of the steroid hormone 17β-estradiol 1 in organic solvents or in a biphasic system allowed the isolation of the C–C and C–O dimers 1a–d, which were formed as an equimolar mixture of diastereomeric atropisomers.

TL;DR: All the molecules studied, except one which has only a 3-gentiobioside (a disaccharide) as substituent, denote an effect of reduction in the hydration constant when compared with the parent delphinidin 3-glucoside or 3,5-diglucosid molecules, which supports the existence of intramolecular hydrophobic interactions between the chromophoric skeleton and the acyl or flavonoid groups.

Doping of polyaniline by acid-base chemistry: density functional calculations with periodic boundary conditions.
TL;DR: The structural and spectroscopic theoretical predictions for both polaron and bipolaron lattices agree quite well with the experimental data, and it is found that the bipolaron structure is lower in energy.

Hydrogen bonding descriptors in the prediction of human in vivo intestinal permeability.
TL;DR: The combination of a hydrogen bond donor descriptor, a general hydrogen bonding descriptor and a lipophilicity descriptor enabled the prediction of human intestinal permeability, whereas hydrogen bond acceptor descriptors were found to be less important.

Investigations of enzyme-catalysed reactions with combined quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) methods
TL;DR: Combined quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM or QM-MM) methods are outlined and some recent applications to enzyme-catalysed reactions are discussed.
