Enzymes may be described a organic catalysts of biological origin. The majority are obtained from the interior of cells, but some are obtained from natural secretions such as the digestive juices and milk. For a full discussion of the nature of enzymes and the mechanism of their reactions the student should consult a work such as Chemistry and Methods of Enzymes, by J. B. Sumner and G. F. Somers (Academic Press, New York), or Enzymes, by M. Dixon and E. C. Webb[(Longman Group Ltd.). The following points should however be noted ...

Schultz and coworkers (Jackson et a ., 1988) have generated an antibody which exhibits behaviour similar to the enzyme chorismate mutase. The enzyme catalyses the conversion of chorismate [49] to prephenate [50] as part of the shikimate pathway for the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids in plants and micro-organisms (Haslam, 1974 Dixon and Webb, 1979). It is unusual for an enzyme in that it does not seem to employ acid-base chemistry, nucleophilic or electrophilic catalysis, metal ions, or redox chemistry. Rather, it binds the substrate and forces it into the appropriate conformation for reaction and stabilizes the transition state, without using distinct catalytic groups. 

Schuster had an informed interest in chemical problems. He taught a course in chemical physics that was attended by chemistry honors students. Topics included spectrum analysis, saccharimetry, and electrolysis. In 1894, he organized a fortnightly "physical colloquium" for second- and third-year physics students joined by some chemistry honors students. He closely followed the chemical research of his colleagues, Roscoe and Harold Baily Dixon. In interpreting results in his special field of spectroscopy and in electrochemistry, Schuster visualized an "ionic" mechanism of electrical conduction in liquids and gases.60... 

By 1900, Dixon had succeeded Roscoe, and Perkin, Jr., had succeeded Schorlemmer. The Schorlemmer laboratory and the Perkin laboratory (named for Perkin, Jr., s father) provided facilities for organic teaching and research the Frankland and Dalton laboratories (originally built in 1872) were for undergraduates. The private library and laboratory of E. Schunck were bequeathed to the university and moved there from the moors of Kersal. The John Morley laboratory for organic chemistry was completed in 1909.70...

The use of computational chemistry to address issues relative to process design was discussed in an article. The need for efficient software for massively parallel architectures was described. Methods to predict the electronic structure of molecules are described for the molecular orbital and density functional theory approaches. Two examples of electronic stracture calculations are given. The first shows that one can now make extremely accurate predictions of the thermochemistry of small molecules if one carefully considers all of the details such as zero-point energies, core-valence corrections, and relativistic corrections. The second example shows how more approximate computational methods, still based on high level electronic structure calculations, can be used to address a complex waste processing problem at a nuclear production facility (Dixon and Feller, 1999).
