A computer program to prepare and answer multiple choice questions.

Abstract

A computer program to develop files of multiple choice questions for examination and teaching purposes is described. The program enables an examiner to prepare and modify up to 50 short answer questions with either a single or multiple correct answer format, and allows one to review the students answers individually or collectively, updating the item discrimination and difficulty indices each time a student performs the test. It also provides the option of answering the question file with or without review of the correct answer and reference.

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.
