Abstract
Understanding the molecular factors of rice degradation during its aging concerns our research team. This article emphasizes oryzenin-amylopectin. It aims to reveal the mechanism of amylopectin deterioration during rice aging. The research exploits the Natural Bond Analysis and ONION method at theory level DFT/B3LYP/6-31+G(d, p) and AM1. This methodological approach allows highlighting amylopectin transformation; oryzenin converts amylopectin into amyloidosis in continuous. This led to monosaccharides and disaccharides.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry (JTCC) is an international interdisciplinary journal aimed at providing comprehensive coverage on the latest developments and applications of research in the ever-expanding field of theoretical and computational chemistry.
JTCC publishes regular articles and reviews on new methodology, software, web server and database developments. The applications of existing theoretical and computational methods which produce significant new insights into important problems are also welcomed. Papers reporting joint computational and experimental investigations are encouraged. The journal will not consider manuscripts reporting straightforward calculations of the properties of molecules with existing software packages without addressing a significant scientific problem.
Areas covered by the journal include molecular dynamics, computer-aided molecular design, modeling effects of mutation on stability and dynamics of macromolecules, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and other related topics.
