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) ...

α-Amylase has been studied extensively from various sides. This enzyme is used in many industries .Many applications of this enzyme have encouraged us for greater attempts on the study of α-amylase and to search for more effective processes. In this investigation, the structure of nanotube - catalytic site of bacillus subtilis α- amylase was optimized by hype...

Accurate (rms error ∼3 ppm) predictions of 13C chemical shifts are achieved for many of the common structural types of organic molecules through empirical scaling of shieldings calculated from gauge including atomic orbitals (GIAO) theory with a small basis set and with geometries obtained from computationally inexpensive molecular mechanics methods. Earlier GIAO calculations are shown to be mu...
