Organic and Biochemistry

The classical introduction to molecular mechanics calculations. The authors describe common components of force fields, parameterization methods, and molecular mechanics computational methods. Discusses th e application of molecular mechanics to molecules comm on in organic,and biochemistry. Several chapters deal w ith thermodynamic and chemical reaction calculations. 

The student who is interested in details of the physical principles involved and of further applications of ion exchange should consult Ion Exchanges in Organic and Biochemistry by Calvin Calmon and T. R. E. Kressman. (Inter- cience Publication Inc., New York.)...

Pyridine and derivatives of pyridine occur widely in nature as components of alkaloids, vitamins, and coenzymes. These compounds are of continuing interest to theoretical physical, organic, and biochemistry and to industrial chemistry. Pyridine and derivatives have many uses, e.g., herbicides and pesticides, pharmaceuticals, feed supplements, solvents and reagents, and chemicals for the polymer and textile industries.

The largest contribution of radiation chemical techniques to general free-radical chemistry has been made in aqueous solution because they provide a very convenient way of generating an enormous variety of highly reactive species which cannot readily be generated by thermal or photochemical methods. In particular, the technique of pulse radiolysis has provided a wealth of kinetic and mechanistic information in inorganic, organic, and biochemistry [4,5]. 

Kant notes that in studying substances chemistry is limited in three ways (i) by time, because nature has had aeons to bring about chemical changes (ii) their products are never as pure as natural products (iii) only a few of the substances found in nature can be made artificially. For Kant there is no sharp boundary between inorganic, organic, and biochemistry crystallization for example has many of the characteristics of living processes for him.
