Molecular properties of linear amino acids in water by Roman Boča, Richard Imrich, Juraj Štofko, Beáta Vranovičová, Cyril Rajnák

“…Abstract Four linear amino acids of increased separation of the carboxyl and amino groups, namely glycine (aminoacetic acid), β-alanine (3-aminopropanoic acid), GABA (4-aminobutanoic acid) and DAVA (5-aminopentanoic acid), have been studied by quantum chemical ab initio and DFT methods including the solvent effect in order to get electronic structure and molecular descriptors, such as ionisation energy, electron affinity, molecular electronegativity, chemical hardness, electrophilicity index, dipole moment, quadrupole moment and dipole polarizability. Thermodynamic functions (zero-point energy, inner energy, enthalpy, entropy, and the Gibbs energy) were evaluated after the complete vibrational analysis at the true energy minimum provided by the full geometry optimization. …”

Neural substrates of neuropsychological profiles in dystrophynopathies: A pilot study of diffusion tractography imaging. by Laura Biagi, Sara Lenzi, Emilio Cipriano, Simona Fiori, Paolo Bosco, Paola Cristofani, Guia Astrea, Antonella Pini, Giovanni Cioni, Eugenio Mercuri, Michela Tosetti, Roberta Battini

“…<h4>Introduction</h4>Cognitive difficulties and neuropsychological alterations in Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD, BMD) boys are not yet sufficiently explored, although this topic could have a relevant impact, finding novel biomarkers of disease both at genetics and neuroimaging point of view. The current study aims to: 1) analyze the neuropsychological profile of a group of DMD and BMD boys without cognitive impairment with an assessment of their executive functions; 2) explore the structural connectivity in DMD, BMD, and age-matched controls focusing on cortico-subcortical tracts that connect frontal cortex, basal ganglia, and cerebellum via the thalamus; 3) explore possible correlations between altered structural connectivity and clinical neuropsychological measures.…”
