Density functional theory investigation on the mechanism of the hepatitis delta virus ribozyme
Article Abstract:
Density function theory is used to investigate the hepatitis delta virus (HDV) ribozyme and its catalyzed phosphodiester cleavage. The potential of cytosine to act either as a catalytic base or acid is considered by examining the ability of the general environment and specific hydrogen-bonding species to affect its basicity.

Detection and determination of the {Fe[(NO).sub.2]} core vibrational features in dinitrosyl-iron complexes from experiment, normal coordinate analysis, and density functional theory: An avenue for probing the nitric oxide oxidation state
Article Abstract:
The Raman studies of the Fe[(NO).sub.2] core of dinitrosyl-iron complexes (DNICs) are described. The feasibility of using a v(Fe-NO)/v(NO) correlation diagram to extract the electronic configurations and charges on metals is shown by using the vibrational data of nitrosyl-iron complexes.
