Modifications are made to a previously developed scheme for calculating atomic charge which uses orbital electronegativity and which requires minimal calculational effort. The introduced changes are a result of deficiencies noted in the earlier method which were due to an inadequate accounting of ef

✦ Synopsis
A computer programme for determination of equilibrium constant (K) and enantiomer ratio (E) in biocatalytic resolutions has been developed. The programme utilises experimental data, ees and eep measured at more than one conversion, and determines both K and E no matter whether the reaction is irreversible (K=0) or reversible (K>0). An estimation of errors in the calculations indicates that errors in E does not show a Gaussian distribution, while errors in K does. The usefulness of the programme has been tested in a lipase-catalysed transesterification of 1-phenoxy-2-propanol at various concentrations of acyl donor, with different solvents and at different water activities.

A previously developed method for calculating atomic charge in neutral molecules is modified so as to account for charged molecular species. The method is based on the orbital electronegativity (EN) concept and utilizes an EN equalization principal. Since only one linear equation is required per bon
Radioactive cesium ions have been used as indicators for the unequal distribution of electrolytes in two-compartment systems which contain nondiffusible macroions in one of the compartments. This method allows the precise determination of the Donnan ratio under conditions in which binding studies of
