Research Interests

1) Molecular Modelling of Chemical Carcinogenesis with explicit inclusion of the B-DNA target structure. A new explanation for the absolute stereochemisty and shape dependence of carcinogenesis by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons has been published. For a review on "PAH Carcinogenicity: Theoretical Modelling and Experimental Facts" see:

Selected Publications

2) The Nature of Chemical Bonds. Present activities and projects include:

Selected Publications

3) Theoretical Studies of Energetics and Conformations of highly Flexible Molecules and Complexes. The Methods used range from Slow Cooling Monte Carlo to extensive Configuration Interaction calculations.

Selected publications

4) Solvatochromism and Molecular Structure. Experimental and theoretical determination of the excited state dipole moments of purines, pyrimidines and other biologically interesting molecules. In collaboration with Drs Ghosh and Parkanyi (Florida Atlantic University).
