Selected biomolecules that are the most commonly chosen as molecular modelling objects in this field are presented. In most of the reviewed works, ligand docking using solely force field methods was performed, employing various molecular targets involved in metabolism and action of estrogens. Other molecular modelling methods such as molecular dynamics and combined quantum mechanics with molecular mechanics have also been successfully used to predict the properties of estrogens and xenoestrogens. Among published works, a great number also focused on the application of different types of quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) analyses to examine estrogen’s structures and activities. Although the interactions between estrogens and xenoestrogens with various proteins are the most commonly studied, other aspects such as penetration of estrogens through lipid bilayers or their ability to adsorb on different materials are also explored using theoretical calculations.

  • Application of Molecular Dynamics Simulation to Small Systems
    40 Application of Molecular Dynamics Simulation to Small Systems Víctor M. Rosas-García and Isabel Sáenz-Tavera Facultad de Ciencias Químicas, Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, San Nicolás de los Garza, N. L. México 1. Introduction The study of chemical behavior includes answering questions as ’which isomer is the most stable?’, ’which relative orientation is the most favorable for such-and-such interaction?’, ’which conformer is the global minimum?’, ’what are the lowest energy configurations and their relative energies?’. The answer to these questions–and many others–depends on the ability to find and study a variety of configurations of the system of interest. Recently, (Atilgan, 2007) briefly reviewed the use of molecular dynamics simulation for conformational search in the process of drug design, concluding that its use could reduce the errors in estimating binding affinities and finding more viable conformations. In addition, (Corbeil, 2009) considered the need to include ring flexibility in the conformational searches used in flexible docking. Most of the flexible docking algorithms skip searching for conformations in rings, even though a protein may stabilize a conformation other than the most stable one. The need for a tool to examine the diverse configurations of the constituent particles of a system becomes obvious even as we consider relatively small systems (10-100 atoms). Finding by hand all the conformers of cyclohexane is feasible and maybe even instructive; this is somewhat more complex when doing morpholine and even something as small as an eight-membered heterocycle can be prohibitively complex to analyze by manipulating molecular models by hand. One of the methods available to the researcher to tackle this kind of problem is Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation.

  • Polarized-Unpolarized Ground State of Small Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Alicante Polarized-unpolarized ground state of small polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons E. San-Fabián and F. Moscardó Departamento de Química Física, Unidad Asociada del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas and Instituto Universitario de Materiales, Universidad de Alicante. San Vicente del Raspeig, Alicante 03690, Spain. (Dated: September 22, 2014) Do polyacenes, circumacenes, periacenes, nanographenes and graphene nanoribbons show a spin polarized ground state? In this work, we present mono-determinantal (Hartree-Fock and Density Functional Theory types), and multi-determinantal calculations ( Møller-Plesset and Coupled Cluster), for several families of un- saturated organic molecules (n-Acenes, n-Periacenes and n-Circumacenes). All HF calculations and many DFT show a spin-polarized (antiferromagnetic) ground state, in agreement with previous calculations. Nevertheless, the multi-determinantal calculations, carried out with perturbative and variational wavefunctions, show that the more stable state is obtained starting from the unpolarized Hartree-Fock wavefunction. The trend of the stabilisation of wavefunctions (polarized or unpolarized) with respect to exchange and cor- relation potentials, and to the number of benzene rings, has been analysed. A study of the spin (<S^2>) and the spin density on the carbon atoms has also been carried out. Key words: Spin-polarized states; DFT calculations; MP3; CCSD. 2 I. INTRODUCTION. Graphene nanoribbons have been the focus of much research both from experimental and theoretical points of view (See for example ref. [1] and their references), and their magnetic properties have motivated the interest in the study of other small polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).

Recently, molecular dynamics simulation has provided a unique opportunity to better understand the structure of N-A-S-H gel from nanoscale. In this work, the N-A-S-H gel structure was obtained by simulating the polymerization of Si and Al monomers by molecular dynamics. The simulated polymerization process is in good agreement with the experimental results especially in terms of the reaction rate of Si and Al species. The atomic structural features of the N-A-S-H gel were analyzed in terms of bond length and bond n angle information, simulated X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Q distribution. A significant finding is the existence of pentacoordinate Al in all simulated N-A-S-H structures, indicating that pentacoordinate Al in geopolymer does not only come from raw material.

  • WHAT INFLUENCE WOULD a CLOUD BASED SEMANTIC LABORATORY NOTEBOOK HAVE on the DIGITISATION and MANAGEMENT of SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH? by Samantha Kanza
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Faculty of Physical Sciences and Engineering School of Electronics and Computer Science What Influence would a Cloud Based Semantic Laboratory Notebook have on the Digitisation and Management of Scientific Research? by Samantha Kanza Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 25th April 2018 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF PHYSICAL SCIENCES AND ENGINEERING SCHOOL OF ELECTRONICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE Doctor of Philosophy WHAT INFLUENCE WOULD A CLOUD BASED SEMANTIC LABORATORY NOTEBOOK HAVE ON THE DIGITISATION AND MANAGEMENT OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH? by Samantha Kanza Electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs) have been studied by the chemistry research community over the last two decades as a step towards a paper-free laboratory; sim- ilar work has also taken place in other laboratory science domains. However, despite the many available ELN platforms, their uptake in both the academic and commercial worlds remains limited. This thesis describes an investigation into the current ELN landscape, and its relationship with the requirements of laboratory scientists. Market and literature research was conducted around available ELN offerings to characterise their commonly incorporated features. Previous studies of laboratory scientists examined note-taking and record-keeping behaviours in laboratory environments; to complement and extend this, a series of user studies were conducted as part of this thesis, drawing upon the techniques of user-centred design, ethnography, and collaboration with domain experts. These user studies, combined with the characterisation of existing ELN features, in- formed the requirements and design of a proposed ELN environment which aims to bridge the gap between scientists' current practice using paper lab notebooks, and the necessity of publishing their results electronically, at any stage of the experiment life cycle.
