Abstract

Technology is currently more difficult to learn and use than it should be. However, with more attention to human factors, technology will be easier to use in the future. For more information about human factors in computer systems, the reader is referred to two very comprehendible texts: Ben Shneiderman's (1987) Designing the User Interface: Strategies for Effective Human-Computer Interaction or Baecker and Buxton's (1987) Readings in Human-Computer Interaction: A Multidisciplinary Approach. In addition, there is an extensive body of literature on the general subject of human factors.

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.
