2 Today s Outline Intro to atoms, bonds, structure, biomolecules, Geometry of Proteins, Nucleic Acids, Ribosomes, Viruses Space Occupancy, Bonded, Non-Bonded Areas, Volumes, Derivatives Dynamic Maintenance and Bioinformatics

3 The Tree of Life! The World of the Cell, 1996) Eukaryotic cells Viruses? Ribosome Prokaryotic cell The problems of chemistry and biology can be greatly helped if our ability to see what we are doing, and to do things on an atomic level, is ultimately developed - a development which I think cannot be avoided Richard Feynman, 1959 CalTech

11 What is the atomic charge? Atomic Charges Based on atomic electronegativity, optimized for a given Force Field. example: Gasteiger charges. Based on atomic electronegativity and the resulting electrical field. example: Charge Equilibrium charges (QEq). * Based on the electronic distribution calculated by QM. example: Mulliken charges. Based on the electrostatic potential near the molecule, calculated by a non-empirical method (or determined experimentally). examples: Chelp, ChelpG, RESP.
