In the present study, theoretical chemical reactivates Photo isomerization in Cis-Retinal as a Natural Photo switch in Vision. DFT hybrid functional, B3LYP and, post-HF method, were the theoretical methods applied utilizing G09 software. 6-31G+ (d,p) basis set employed for structural optimizations, and single point computations performed using B3LYP/6-31G+(d,p). The isomers cis molecule retinal...

The first paper of this series (1) reported the results of tests of the carcinogenic activity of cer tam analogs of p-dimethylaminoazobenzene (DAB) in which a pyridine ring or a thiazole ring replaced one of the benzene rings of DAB. Due to the presence of the hetero atom or atoms, position isomers are possible in the heterocyclic analogs, and some of these isomers were synthesized and tested. ...

The enzymatic potential of the cultured plant cells can be employed for bioconversion purposes. Plant enzymes are able to catalyze regio- and stereo-specific reactions, and therefore can be applied for the production of desired substances. The biotransformation of foreign substrates with suspension cells of Peganum harmala was tested with (±) phenylethyl propionate. The callus cultures of Pegan...

Among the geometrical isomers of vitamin A and retinene, the neo-b isomer occupies a special position. As the precursor of rhodopsin and iodopsin, it plays a central r81e in rod and cone vision (1, 2). It is stored almost exclusively in the eyes of certain Crustacea (3) and is equally distinctive chemically. The four unhindered geometrical isomers of vitamin A have been identified (4, 5); neo-b...

The solid-state, low-temperature linkage isomerism in a series of five square planar group 10 phosphino nitro complexes have been investigated by a combination of photocrystallographic experiments, Raman spectroscopy and computer modelling. The factors influencing the reversible solid-state interconversion between the nitro and nitrito structural isomers have also been investigated, providing i...

Two possible isomers of some 1,3-diaryl-H-benzo[f]chromene have been studied using density functional theory. Structures of E1 and E2 isomers were optimized at the B3LYP and MP2 levels with different basis sets. The total electronic energies show that E2 isomer is about 3-5 kcal/mol more stable than E1 isomer and this energy difference is attributed to the planarity of heterocyclic ring and mor...
