Introduction mclaudt 19.01.13 в 08:51 |

|
Out of all the metals with similar antimicrobial properties, silver has the least toxicity to human cells. mclaudt 19.01.13 в 09:00 |

|
The exact mechanism of antifungal activity is still unknown, and is currently the subject of many research. mclaudt 19.01.13 в 09:11 |

|
There is three suggested qualitative concepts: DNA association, cell wall damage and deactivation of enzymes. mclaudt 19.01.13 в 09:32 |
||
|
On the molecular level it is known that silver is capable to form a bond with S, N, and O atoms, and also to catalyze the formation of disulfide bonds. mclaudt 19.01.13 в 09:41 |

|
To obtain the optimized geometry of ground state, several DFT codes were used, including PC GAMESS, SIESTA and ABINIT. mclaudt 19.01.13 в 09:52 |

|
Calculations were performed on Linux-cluster using parallel MPI (MPICH2) и SMP (OpenMP) parallel paradigms. mclaudt 19.01.13 в 10:06 |
||
|
In silico calculations were complemented by in vitro assay, in which we compared antifungal activity of silver and copper ions in the same concentrations against Alternaria alternata. mclaudt 19.01.13 в 10:09 |
||
|
Results mclaudt 19.01.13 в 10:11 |
||
|
Chitin dimers form the hydrogen bonds with each other, and there is a variability of parameters of that bond depending on type of adsorbed atom near bond. mclaudt 19.01.13 в 10:15 |
||
|
Adsorbed silver atom increases the symmetry of H-bond, measured by the difference of projected charges on oxygen atoms, involved in H-bond, whereas copper atom decreases that symmetry, comparing to the original system without any metal. mclaudt 19.01.13 в 10:20 |
