Abstract

A system of programs which process data on a microcomputer for a case/comparison study is described. The procedures process the data from the abstracted case source records, to control selection, interview data management, and the selection of data subsets for analysis. The capabilities of various data processing modules are outlined, and cost estimates of an existing implementation are discussed. The microcomputer is presented as an alternative to mainframe data management.

Molecular orbital study on the glutathione-dependent detoxication of ozonides.

The present paper describes a theoretical study on the mechanism underlying the reaction of cellular glutathione (GSH) with polyunsaturated fatty acid ozonides. The reaction can be catalyzed by glutathione S-transferases and leads to detoxication of the ozonides. Semi-empirical molecular orbital computer calculations suggest that the reaction of glutathione with ozonides involves a nucleophilic attack at one of the carbon atoms of the ozonide ring, instead of at one of the peroxidic oxygen atoms of the ozonide ring. This implies a mechanism different from that of the glutathione S-transferase-mediated reaction with hydroperoxides, previously proposed for the glutathione-dependent detoxication of fatty acid ozonides.
