    Abstract

    Two different hydrolysis mechanisms of metabolic product from tirapazamine's enzymatic catalysis have been studied by density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) and B3LYP/6-311+G(d) levels. The results indicate that the activation barrier of rate-controling step of Brown's model is smaller than that of Denny's model. © World Scientific Publishing Company.
