We propose a hybrid mechanism for MAO where the formation of FAD-N5-ylide causes a reversible covalent inhibition, which can be modulated for designing superior therapeutics.

<p>We investigate the mechanism of direct CO<sub>2</sub> hydrogenation to methanol on Pd (111), (100) and (110) surfaces using density functional theory (DFT), providing insight into the reactivity of CO<sub>2</sub> on Pd-based catalysts. The initial chemisorption of CO<sub>2</sub>, forming a partially charged CO<sub>2</sub><sup>δ-</sup>, is weakly endothermic on a Pd (111) surface, with an adsorption energy of 0.06 eV, and slightly exothermic on Pd (100) and (110) surfaces, with adsorption energies of -0.13 and -0.23 eV, respectively. Based on Mulliken analysis, we attribute the low stability of CO<sub>2</sub><sup>δ-</sup><sub> </sub>on the Pd (111) surface to a negative charge that accumulates on the surface Pd atoms interacting directly with the CO<sub>2</sub><sup>δ-</sup><sub> </sub>adsorbate. For the reaction of the adsorbed species on the Pd surface, HCOOH hydrogenation to H<sub>2</sub>COOH is predicted to be the rate determining step of the conversion to methanol in all cases, with activation barriers of 1.35, 1.26, and 0.92 eV on Pd (111), (100) and (110) surfaces, respectively.<br></p>

<div> Elucidation of the oxidation mechanism of naturally emitted reduced sulfur compounds, especially dimethyl sulfide, plays a central role in understanding background acid precipitation in the natural environment. Most frequently, theoretical studies of the addition and H-elimination reactions of dimethyl sulfide with hydroxyl radicals are studied considering the presence of oxygen that further reacts with the radicals formed in the initial steps. Although the reaction of intermediate species with additional hydroxyl radicals has been considered as part of the global mechanism of oxidation, few if any attention has been dedicated to the possibility of reactions of the initial radicals with a second •OH molecule. In this work we performed a computational study using quantum-chemical methods, of the mechanism of H-abstraction from dimethyl sulfide under normal atmospheric conditions and in reaction chambers at different O2 partial pressure, including complete absence of oxygen. Additionally, important rate coefficients were computed using canonical and variational transition state theory. The rate coefficient for abstraction affords a 4.72 x 10-12 cm3 molecule1 s-1 value, very close to the most recent experimental one (4.13 x 10-12 cm3 molecule-1 s-1). According to our best results, the initial methyl thiomethyl radical was obtained at -25.2 kcal/mol (experimentally -22.4 kcal/mol), and four important paths were identified on the potential energy surface. From the interplay of thermochemical and kinetic arguments, it was possible to demonstrate that the preferred product of the reaction of dimethyl sulfide with two hydroxyl radicals, is actually dimethyl sulfoxide. </div><div> </div>

Density functional theory calculations were performed on a prototype of three-component reactions involving aryl iodides, 2,6-substituted aryl bromides, and acrylates to understand the construction of axially chiral biaryls through the...
