A new computational strategy has been applied to the conformational and spectroscopic properties in the gas phase of amino acids with very distinctive features, ranging from different tautomeric forms (histidine) to ring puckering (proline), and heteroaromatic structures with non-equivalent rings (tryptophan). The integration of modern double-hybrid functionals and wave-function composite methods has allowed us to obtain accurate results for a large panel of conformers with reasonable computer times. The remarkable agreement between computations and microwave experiments allows an unbiased interpretation of the latter in terms of stereoelectronic effects.

Abstract
A new computational strategy has been applied to the conformational and spectroscopic properties in the gas phase of amino acids with very distinctive features, ranging from different tautomeric forms (histidine) to ring puckering (proline), and heteroaromatic structures with non-equivalent rings (tryptophan). The integration of modern double-hybrid functionals and wave-function composite methods has allowed us to obtain accurate results for a large panel of conformers with reasonable computer times. The remarkable agreement between computations and microwave experiments allows an unbiased interpretation of the latter in terms of stereoelectronic effects.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
