    Molecular dynamics simulations of DNA and its complexes

    No full text
    This article describes how classical molecular simulation methods are being used to gain a molecular-level understanding of the interaction mechanisms responsible for DNA-ligand recognition, and that govern the response of DNA to ligand binding. Case studies using a variety of different ligands-including small pharmaceutical drugs, proteins and lipids—are used to illustrate the power of modern molecular dynamics simulation methods for understanding how we may control the function and structure of DNA

    Theoretical aspects of the enantiomeric resolution of dimetallo helicates with different surface topologies on cellulose columns

    Cellulose has been used to separate the enantiomers of a range of dimetallo coordination compounds with different surface topologies. The compounds are all approximately cylindrical in shape, but are based on octahedral coordination at the metals and are also helical. When separation has been achieved, the first eluted enantiomer has always been proven to have a negative circular dichroism (CD) signal for its longest wavelength metal to ligand charge transfer band. In order to understand the underlying basis for the elution order, gas phase molecular dynamics and snap-shot minimisations of each enantiomer with the repeat unit of cellulose, glucose, have been undertaken. For new dimetallo helicates, it is important to have a quick assessment of the enantiomeric identity of the first eluted compound. To this end, the coupled-oscillator model of CD has been applied to relate the signs of the CD signals to the identity of the enantiomers. This correlation is consistent with crystallographic data for the first eluted enantiomer of the parent compound

    Database for: Excavations at Tall Jawa, Jordan: Volume 3, The Iron Age Pottery

    This is a Microsoft Access database of imagery, drawings, and photos accompanying Excavations at Tall Jawa, Jordan: Volume 3, The Iron Age Pottery by P.M. Michèle Daviau. The text and database present a detailed typology of the Iron Age pottery excavated from 1989 to 1995. Together, they represent an in-depth analysis of the forming techniques employed to make each type of vessel from bowls to colanders, cooking pots to pithoi. The digital archive is a work in progress by the author. The archive currently holds the collection for Excavation Field D. Upon completion, it will include seven collections, each one consisting of a database of diagnostic sherds and vessels as well as the images of these pots as .tiff files. Databases are related to excavation fields and are designed for meaningful searches: A, B, C-east, C-west, A-east (associated with C-west), D and E
