It was also shown that the four interaction indexes introduced (surface contact, relative solvation, electrostatics and the relative propensity of amino acid pairs to interact) can be conveniently combined into an effective interaction potential function, able to distinguish native from non-native binding modes and to propose a limited set of plausible candidate models of protein complexes. For every complex tested (except for the two where the correct solutions were excluded from the ones retained by BoGIE), a near-correct docked structure was found within the five top-ranked solutions indicated by the global interaction function. 

Prediction of interaction between metal clusters with oxide surface The HSAB principle classifies the interaction between acids and bases in terms of global softness. In the last few years, the reactivity index methodology was well established and had found its application in a wide variety of systems. This study deals with the viability of the reactivity index to monitor metal cluster interaction with oxide. Pure gold cluster of a size between 2 and 12 was chosen to interact with clean alumina (100) surface. A scale was derived in terms of intra- and intermolecular interactions of gold cluster with alumina surface to rationalize the role of reactivity index in material designing [43]. 

The first subgroup best describes global molecular properties such as size, surface, volume, while the second subgroup describes more and more (as the order of index increases) local structural properties and possibly long-range interactions. 

In contrast, EET has been historically modelled in terms of two main schemes the Forster transfer [15], a resonant dipole-dipole interaction, and the Dexter transfer [16], based on wavefunction overlap. The effects of the environment where early recognized by Forster in its unified theory of EET, where the Coulomb interaction between donor and acceptor transition dipoles is screened by the presence of the environment (represented as a dielectric) through a screening factor l/n2, where n is the solvent refractive index. This description is clearly an approximation of the global effects induced by a polarizable environment on EET. In fact, the presence of a dielectric environment not only screens the Coulomb interactions as formulated by Forster but also affects all the electronic properties of the interacting donor and acceptor [17],... 

When a molecule is represented as an object with well-defined boundaries, geometric methods of analysis may be applied. Several steric parameters have been derived from the model in w hich atoms, hence molecules, are represented as geometric objects with surfaces and volumes. The boundary of an atom is usually determined by its van der Waals radius. Surface area and volume of groups and molecules can be estimated. Bondi,Hermann, and Pearlman are among those who have studied surface area and volume. Molar refractivity (MR), calculated from density and refractive index, has frequently been used to estimate the bulk or global volume of a molecule or group. A more recent trend is to use MR as a model for dispersion interactions. 

Another service that can be classified in this category is that provided by the O Neill Institute for National Global Health Law. It is a free online database of law, from aroimd the world, relating to health and hitman rights. The database offers an interactive, searchable, and fully indexed website of case law, national constitutions, and international instruments [48]. 

The present maximum hardness index Y is introduced on the ground of assumed HSAB as true principle resulting in consistent picture of the HSAB-MH chemical bonding. Within this picture the specific chemical hardness ranges were produced to assess the fype of hard and soft bond (as global character) and bonding (as interaction character) without any other artifacts. 

The DFT analysis of the global properties of the interacting pair diene/dienophile illustrates the normal electron demand character of these DA reactions. It is possible to show that the local indexes provide useful clues about the regiodirector effects, particularly of the nitro group. The presence of a solvent (molecular or neoteric) as the reaction media does not...
