The changes in hydrogen bond length and angles show that in the cationic radical form the structure of the base pairs relaxes due to the distribution of charge. According to a recent study. it has been found that, upon excitation hole transfer from base to sugar occurs which results in sugar radical formation and leads to strand breakage 145] [A. Kumar, M.D. Sevilla, J. Phys. Chem. B 110 (2006) 24181]. One hydrogen bond increases, while the other decreases in Adenine-Thymine (AT) base pair and in case of Guanine-Cytosine (GC) base pair. one bond increases and other two decrease. Same is the case with bond angles for both the base pairs. Analysis of the electron density map of Singly Occupied Molecular Orbital (SOMO) reveals that electron is transferred mainly from adenine and guanine bases in the cationic radical formation of AT and CC base pair, respectively. The reactive sites of bases have been analyzed using condensed Fukui functions in a relaxed and frozen core approximation. The effects of relaxation on the reactivity indices are also analyzed.

In this study, we attempt to understand the various possible conformations available for an anionic lipid molecule dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol (DMPG) with Na as its charge-compensating cation. The various possible molecular orientations available for lipid molecule are analysed using a density functional theory-based method. Our study reveals a rich conformational space with two different types of glycerol body orientations, more commonly known as rotamers. Interestingly, this is in agreement with the molecular conformations proposed earlier by NMR studies on lipid monomer solutions. We demonstrate that these conformations are an outcome of delicate balance of electrostatic and van der Waals forces along with intra-molecular hydrogen bonds achieved by a critical combination of torsion angles. Na(+) ions are seen to interact predominantly with the oxygen atoms of the glycerol groups in tail and head along with that of phosphate oxygen atoms leading to a cage-like orientation of lipid molecule around the Na(+). Following the conformational analysis, we attempt to evaluate the electronic properties of few low-lying conformations. This study shows that though the water molecules screen the Na-O(lipid) interactions, they do not dramatically modify the Na-O(lipid) bond distances. The lipid conformation retains the cage-like structure around the Na(+) in the presence of water molecules. Some amount of charge transfer from the water molecules to Na ion is noted. The water molecules modify the phosphate-tail glycerol group interactions leading to a more stable Na-DMPG-H(2)O and Na-DMPG-4H(2)O complexes.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.328

We discuss the enhancement or diminution in the reactivity of these ligands as a function of two substituent groups, namely methyl (-CH3) group and phenyl (-C6H5) group. The global reactivity descriptors explain the global affinity and philicity of these ligands, whereas the local softness depicts the particular site selectivity. The inter-molecular reactivity trends for the same systems are analysed through the philicity and group philicity indices. The sigma-donor character of these ligands is quantified with the help of electron density profile. In addition, the possible strength of interaction of these ligands with metal ions is supported with actual reaction energies of Ru-L complexes.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Indian</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.224

Phospholipid molecules with different functional groups are known to respond differently to the water molecules. Hence, we attempt to study the adsorption of water molecules around the phosphate group as a consequence of the change of functional group attached to the phosphate group, viz. phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE), phosphatidyl choline (PC) and phosphatidyl glycerol (PG). As the latter is anionic in nature, the charge is compensated by Na+ counterion. Up to seven water molecules are adsorbed around the phosphate groups in model systems mimicking phospholipid molecule. The corresponding changes in the structural and electronic aspects are analysed. The significant difference between the PE and PC model systems is the formation of clathrate-like structure in the latter. Itisnoticed that as the number of water molecules increases to seven, both the hydrogen atoms in the water molecule participate in hydrogen bonding. However, in the PG model system, the charge-compensating counterion prevents the water molecule to form clathrate-like structures. The adsorption sites for water molecules are validated by density functional theory-based reactivity descriptors, viz. Fukui functions in the PE model system.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.119
