Chirality Dependent Charge Transfer Rate in Oligopeptides

Rate Coefficient Determination in Charge Transfer Reactions

The development of experimental ion-trap techniques provides the opportunity to compare directly theoretical rate coefficients to experimental data in the low-temperature regime. In the present work, we consider the ion-atom collisional systems, N, O, Si and Si on a He target, in order to examine the present status of the agreement between theory and experiment.

Charge transfer in time-dependent density functional theory.

Charge transfer plays a crucial role in many processes of interest in physics, chemistry, and bio-chemistry. In many applications the size of the systems involved calls for time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) to be used in their computational modeling, due to its unprecedented balance between accuracy and efficiency. However, although exact in principle, in practise approximations ...

Absolute Net Charge and the Biological Activity of Oligopeptides

Sequences of human proteins are frequently prepared as synthetic oligopeptides to assess their functional ability to act as compounds modulating pathways involving the parent protein. Our objective was to analyze a set of oligopeptides, to determine if their solubility or activity correlated with features of their primary sequence, or with features of properties inferred from three-dimensional ...
