Predictive quantitative structure–activity relationship was performed on the novel 4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline and 4-oxo-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives to explore relationship between the structure of synthesized compounds and their anti-HIV-1 activities. In this way, the suitable set of the molecular descriptors was calculated and the important descriptors using the variable selections ...

Caspase-3, one of the dominant effectors caspases, is activated in almost every model of apoptosis with various signaling pathways. Hence, inhibition of caspase-3 has become an attractive target in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Caspase-3 inhibitory activities of some 1,2-benzisothiazol-3-one derivatives were modeled by quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) using ste...

For many decades it has been assumed that an adsorbate centered above a metal surface and with a net negative charge should increase the work function of the surface. However, despite their electronegativity, N adatoms on W[100] cause a significant work function decrease. Here we present a resolution of this anomaly. Using density functional theory, we demonstrate that while the N atom carries ...

The concept of the equalization of atomic electronegativities accompanying molecule formation is applied to a study of the electronic structure of polyhedral clusters of main-group atoms such as Ge, Sn, Pb, TI, and Bi. Emphasis is placed upon charged clusters such as Sn9-,Pb:-(x =0+9), Sn+,Ge;-, Sn8-= Pb,T15-, Sn,Bii-, SnTei-, etc. The role of the relativistic spin-orbit splitting of an np shel...

We investigated electron attachment to three dihalobenzene molecules, bromochlorobenzene (BCB), bromoiodobenzene (BIB) and chloroiodobenzene (CIB), by molecular beam photoelectron spectroscopy. The most prominent product of electron attachment in the anion mass spectra was the atomic fragment of the less electronegative halogen of the two, i.e., Br(-) for BCB and I(-) for BIB and CIB. Photoelec...

FOR ATOMS AND HOMONUCLEAR DIATOMIC MOLECULES, IT IS ARGUED THAT THE ELECTRONIC ENERGIES HAVE THE FORMS [FORMULA: see text] and [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text], respectively,where Z is the atomic number, N is the number of electrons, and R is the internuclear distance. By using the Lieb-Simon theorem that the Thomas-Fermi theory is exact in the limit of large atomic number and the Teller...
