  1. Abstract Students in a second semester general chemistry course used quantum chemical calculations to investigate and reinforce general chemistry concepts. Students explored the isomers of hypochlorous acid, made predictions of miscibility via dipole moments calculated from ab-initio means, experimentally validated/disqualified their miscibility predictions, and used molecular models to visualize intermolecular attraction forces between various compounds. Student responses in pre-/post-exercise assessments show evidence of student learning. Responses in pre-/post-exercise surveys showed an increase in student understanding of basic concepts and of the importance of quantum mechanics in common general chemistry topics.

    • Most frequently occurring human DNA variants are single nucleotide variants resulting in a change of DNA base. • Their effect on the wild type characteristics of the corresponding protein can be predicted by the means of computational chemistry. • Dysfunctional protein may have predominant effect on a particular organ in the human body.
