Dft Modeling Of Water-Assisted Hydrogen Peroxide Formation From A C(4a)-(Hydro)Peroxyflavin, Yilmaz Özkiliç
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
The cofactor of a class A monooxygenase is reduced at an external location of the enzyme and is subsequently pulled back into the active site after the reduction. This observation brings the question; is there any defense mechanism of the active site of a monooxygenase against the formation of the harmful hydrogen peroxide from the reactive C(4a)-(hydro)peroxide intermediate? In this study, the barrier energies of one to three water molecule-mediated uncoupling reaction mechanisms in water exposed reaction conditions were determined. These were found to be facile barriers. Secondly, uncoupling was modeled in the active site of kynurenine 3-monooxygenase complex which …

A Theoretical Investigation On The Activation Of Small Molecules By A Disilenide: A Dft Prediction, Cem Burak Yildiz, Akin Azi̇zoğlu
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Herein, we proposed several mechanistic scenarios for activation of small molecules (NH$_{3}$, CO$_{2}$, CS$_{2}$, H$_{2}$, CH$_{4}$, N$_{2}$, and N$_{2}$O) by a disilicon analogue of a vinyl anion (1H) using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The DFT results established that all the possible reactions to yield a variety of potential products have an exergonic nature except for the activation of N$_{2}$ with the obtained overall energy of $\Delta $G = 33.6 kcal mol$^{-1}$. Moreover, the highest exergonic character was $\Delta $G = $-$95.8 kcal mol$^{-1}$ for N$_{2}$O. Therefore, the findings reveal that 1H can be considered a suitable candidate for activation …

Theoretical Investigations Of Pt_3x (X = Al, Sc, Hf, Zr) Ground State, Adewumi Isaac Popoola, Lesley Heath Chown, Lesley Alison Cornish
Turkish Journal of Physics
The electronic structure of Pt_3X compounds showed that Pt_3Hf and Pt_3Zr were more stable for the D0_{24} structure, rather than L1_2. The compound Pt_3Al was predicted to be the hardest and most ductile, but not with the L1_2 structure at ground state. The density of states showed that Pt_3Hf, Pt_3Zr, and Pt_3Al can be stabilized to the L1_2 phase with suitable element addition. All calculations were done within the density functional theory framework.

A Labview-Based Virtual Instrument For Engineering Education: A Numerical Fourier Transform Tool, Levent Sevgi̇, Çağatay Uluişik
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Engineering is based on practice. The minima of this practice should be given during the university education. This has become more and more comprehensive and expensive parallel to high-technology devices developed and presented to societies. Computers, microprocessor-based devices, programmable systems on Chip (PSoC), etc., make engineering education not only very complex but interdisciplinary as well. Building undergraduate labs has become more and more expensive if only physical experimentation and hands-on training are targeted. On the other hand, simple, comparatively much cheaper software may turn a regular personal computer (PC) into a virtual lab. The key question therefore is, to establish …
