1. Modelling Chemical Reactions : Theoretical Investigations of Organic Rearrangement Reactions
Sammanfattning : Chemical reactions are ubiquitous and very important for life and many other processes taking place on earth. In both theoretical and experimental studies of reactivity a transition state is often used to rationalise the outcome of such studies. LÄS MER
2. Quantum Chemical Modelling of Biomimetic Phosphoesterase Complexes
Sammanfattning : Phosphoesterases are a class of enzymes that catalyze hydrolysis of phosphoester bonds. They facilitate the modification of nucleic acid sequences, as well as the breakdown of rest products of warfare agents and insecticides. In this thesis, three biomimetic complexes that perform the same tasks are studied using density functional theory. LÄS MER
3. Modelling organometallic reactions : a quantum chemical study of some oxidative addition reactions
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
4. Quantum chemical modelling of enantioselectivity in alcohol dehydrogenase
Sammanfattning : Biocatalytic methods of synthesis are becoming increasingly important in industry. Using enzymes as catalysts allows highly selective reactions to be performed under milder physical conditions and in a more environmentally benign fashion than most corresponding chemical catalysts.

5. Quantum Chemical Modelling of Enzymatic and Organometallic Reactions
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, density functional theory (DFT) is employed in the study of two enzymes and two organometallic systems.First, the natural reaction mechanism, as well as the enantioselective formation of α-hydroxyketones catalysed by two thiamine diphosphate (ThDP)- dependent enzymes, namely benzoylformate decarboxylase (BFDC) and 2-succinyl-5-enolpyruvyl-6-hydroxy-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic-acid (SEPHCHC)- synthase (MenD), are investigated.
