TRIHALOMETANOS EM ÁGUA POTÁVEL E RISCOS DE CÂNCER: SIMULAÇÃO USANDO POTENCIAL DE INTERAÇÃO E TRANSFORMAÇÕES DE BÄCKLUND

We briefly investigated the well-known correlation of trihalomethanes, present in fresh water, with cancer hazard in humans. A transient alternative method of chemical simulation using Bäcklund Transformations and Quantum Mechanics is presented. Finally, the method was applied to simulate the interaction between Trichloridemethane and Alanine - as well as its amino and carboxyl groups.
