    Notes: Abstract A hybrid NVE Molecular Dynamics simulation of liquid water is presented using a coupled Density Functional/Molecular Mechanics hamiltonian. The quantum subsystem is a single water molecule described by means of a triple-zeta quality basis set with polarization orbitals on oxygen and hydrogen atoms. Non-local exchange-correlation corrections are included self-consistently. The classical system is constituted by 128 classical TIP3P water molecules. Results are in reasonable agreement with experimental data and in particular a good description of the solute polarization is obtained. Large fluctuations of the instantaneous value of the dipole moment of the quantum molecule are predicted.

    Notes: Abstract The hydrolysis of amides is a model reaction to study peptide hydrolysis. This process has been previously considered in the literature at the ab initio level. In this work, we revisit different reaction mechanisms (water-assisted, non-assisted, neutral and acid-catalyzed) with various theoretical methods : semiempirical, ab initio and Density Functional. The ab initio calculations are carried out at a computational level which is substantially higher than in previous studies. We describe the structure of the transition states and discuss the influence of the catalyst. We also compute the activation free energies for these processes at the Density Functional Theory level. Comparison of the methods allows to outline the main trends of these theoretical approaches which may be useful to design new computational strategies for investigating biological reaction mechanisms through the use of combined Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics methods.

    Notes: Abstract There have been reported epidemics of severe asthma in Barcelona, Spain, linked to a 10 kDa low molecular mass (LMM) allergen from soybean hulls that became airborne during unloading of ships. As a preliminary probe of the potential for dispersion of this allergen in USA cities, four automated air samplers were placed around a grain elevator in New Orleans and operated continuously from May to October 1990. The allergen was extracted from the filters and immunochemically assayed for soybean aeroallergen. On 31 separate days, the airborne allergen concentration in at least one of the samples was over 10000 U/m3 similar to those observed in Barcelona on some epidemic days. Areas North and East of the elevator were most affected. Serologie studies showed that of 50 asthmatics from New Orleans who were participants in an unrelated clinical study 4 or 8% demonstrated elevated titers of IgE antibody to LMM soybean allergen. Only 1 of 475 control sera (half of which were also asthmatic) obtained elsewhere in the US was positive for LMM soybean IgE antibody. Based on the findings in this study, there is a great possibility that on some days there is enough soybean allergen in the air and a sufficient frequency of soybean aeroallergen RAST positive asthmatics in New Orleans to warrant further investigation of the contribution of soybean aeroallergen to asthma around the port of New Orleans.
