    Abstract
    The purpose of this dissertation is to study how halogen bonds (X-bonds) affect the stability of biological macromolecules and to develop a set of empirical mathematical equations that can provide insight into the anisotropic nature of covalently bound halogens. To achieve this end, we first conducted a detailed analysis of the Protein Data Bank (PDB) to determine the prevalence of X-bonding in biological macromolecules, which allowed us to study the geometrical trends associated with X-bonding. Quantum mechanical (QM) calculations were also applied to determine how the strength of X-bonds ...
