objective(s): vinblastine is antimitotic, anticancer medicine that disturbs normal microtubule formation and favours depolymerisation. structural study and finding the active site of vinblastine are the targets of this research.   materials and methods: vinblastine was optimized in vacuum and then in different solvents by density functional theory (dft) method. nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) ...

in this study, we present the work on the physicochemical interaction between the anti-cancer alkaloidberberine (brb) and dna with the purpose of designing drugs that interact more with dna. molecularmodeling on the complex formed between berberine and dna presented that this complex was undeniablyfully able of participating in the formation of a stable intercalation site. besides, the molecula...

in this research, we report the results of dft calculations using xc-hybrid functional, b3lyp and employ nbo interpretation to investigate the stereoelectronic effects. electrostatic and steric impacts on the conformational properties of 1,2-difluorodiazene (1), 1,2-dichlorodiazene (2) and 1,2-dibromodiazene (3) are also studied. factors determining the thermodynamically stable molecular struct...

the present work reports the detailed b3lyp/6-311++g(d,p) study of most stable transand cisconfigurations photoisomerization in the core system of computational photochemistry-the 5,5'-disubstituted-1,1'-azobis (tetrazole) molecules. all computations were carried out in gas phase attemperature 293.15 k and pressure 1 atm. firstly; the potential energy surface (pes) of the groundstate ...

despite its numerous potential applications, two-dimensional monolayer graphyne, a novel form of carbon allotropes with sp and sp2 carbon atoms, has received little attention so far, perhaps as a result of its unknown properties. especially, determination of the exact values of its elastic properties can pave the way for future studies on this nanostructure. hence, this article describes a dens...

stabilizations and atomic level quadrupole coupling constant (cq) properties have been investigated for graphene–like monolayers (g–monolayers) of boron nitride (bn), boron phosphide (bp), aluminum nitride (aln), and aluminum phosphide (alp) structures. to this aim, density functional theory (dft) calculations have been performed to optimize the model structures and also to evaluate the cq para...

to explore the possibility of using graphene based biosensor, adsorption of hydrogen peroxide on graphene has been investigated using density functional theory. the electronic properties of defect free and defective graphene in the presence of different number of hydrogen peroxide have been studied. the graphene with the most stable configuration defect named as sw defect is considered. the hig...

density functional theory ,(dft) calculations have been performed to investigate the properties ofcarbon decorated (c-decorated) models of boron nitride (bn) nanocones. to this aim, the apex andtip of nanocone have been substituted by the carbon atoms to represent the c-decorated models. theresults indicated that dipole moments and energy gaps could reveal the effects of c-decorations onthe pro...

The structure of fluids confined by planar walls is studied using density functional theory. The density functional used is a generalized form of the hypernetted chain (HNC) functional which contains a term third order in the density. This term is chosen to ensure that the modified density functional gives the correct bulk pressure. The proposed density functional applied to a Lennard-Jones...
