Peptides with ureido group enclosing backbones are considered peptidomimetics and are known for their higher stabilities, biocompatibilities, antibiotic, inhibitor, and charge-transduction activities. These peptidomimetics have some unique applications, which are quite different from those of natural peptides. Hence, it is imperative to appreciate their properties at a microscopic level. In this regard, this work outlines, in detail, the charge transfer (CT) properties, holemigration dynamics, and electronic structures of various experimentally comprehended ureidopeptidomimetic models using density functional theory (DFT). Time-dependent DFT and complete active space self-consistent field computations on basic models provide the necessary evidence for the viability of CT from the end enfolding the ureido group to the other end with a carboxylate entity. This donor-to-acceptor CT has been reflected in excitation studies, in which the higher intensity band corresponds to CT from the π orbital of the ureido group to the π* orbital of the carboxylate entity. Further, hole-migration studies have shown that charge can evolve from the ureido end, whereas the hole generated at the carboxylate end does not migrate. However, hole migration has been reported to occur from both ends (amino and carboxylate ends) in glycine oligopeptides, and our studies show that the ability to transfer and migrate charge can be tuned by modifying the donor and acceptor functional groups in both the neutral and cationic charge states. We have analyzed the possibility of hole migration following ionization using DFT-based wave-packet propagation and found its occurrence on a ∼2−5 fs time scale, which reflects the charge-transduction ability of peptidomimetics.

Abstract:The enormous amount of data flow has made Relation Database Management System the most important and popular tools for persistence of data. While open-source RDBMS systems are not as widely used as proprietary systems like Oracle DB or SQL Server, but over the years, systems like MySQL have gained massive popularity. In a stereotypical view, SQL Server is considered to be an enterprise-level tool, MySQL has carved a niche as a backend for website development. This paper is an attempt to set a benchmark in comparing the performance of MySQL against SQL Server in Windows Environment. To test and evaluate the performance the Resort Management System named Repose is considered. The result shows that SQL Server is still a significantly better performer when compared to MySQL.
