In the framework of the adiabatic approach: the notion of a quantum subsyst
em for a separate molecule has been determined; the mechanism of transition
from the previous quantum subsystem to the subsequent one has been offered
; the calculation of average energy of high-energy rotational spectral comp
onents has been carried out from first principles for the diatomic molecule
; the average energy of the translation of Hg and H atoms, participating in
the HgH molecule elementary dissociation process, has been estimated; the
overall system of equations for the elementary dissociation process of the
molecule has been received; the notion of a quantum subsystem for a protein
molecule has been defined; on the basis of this definition the kinetics of
folding and insertion for the beta -barrel outer membrane protein A (OmpA)
of Escherichia coli into dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) bilayers has b
een simulated numerically; the possible adequacy of the model to dynamic pr
operties of the protein mobility has been shown.
For the non-adiabatic approach: the quantum subsystem notion has been given
; the phenomena of IR multi-photon absorption and photodissociation for mol
ecules in the intensive field of laser radiation have been explained; the t
ranscendental equation for calculation of a number. of identical IR quanta
absorbed by the molecule under its dissociation has been derived from first
principles; the estimation of this parameter for the SF6 molecule has been
carried out, and good coincidence with experimental results has been shown
. In accordance with the model proposed, the concept of molecular structure
has been outlined. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
