It is hard to overestimate the revolutionary effects genetic engineering, gene technology,
protein expression and other indispensable tools of protein architecture have on modern …

The last few years have seen a very rapid growth in understanding the influence of non-
bonded, particularly hydrogen-bonded interactions, on the shapes and conformations of …

Tautomerization of amino acids between the neutral form (NF) and the zwitterionic form (ZW)
in water has been extensively studied, often using glycine as a model to understand this …

The IR spectra of nonionized glycine and its deuterated derivatives isolated in the low-
temperature argon matrices have been measured, and for the first time the infrared spectral …

We have investigated the synthesis of the simplest amino acid, glycine, by Galactic cosmic-
ray particles in extraterrestrial ices. Laboratory experiments combined with electronic …

Two conformers of the nonionized α-alanine and its isotopomer N, N, Od 3-alanine have
been observed in low-temperature Ar matrixes. Their infrared spectra have been analyzed …

Accurate geometries, relative energies, rotational and quartic centrifugal distortion
constants, dipole moments, harmonic vibrational frequencies, and infrared intensities have …

Ab initio B3LYP/6-31G* optimized geometries, vibrational frequencies, and absorption
intensities have been calculated for the l-alanine zwitterion (ALAZW) structures stabilized by …

We apply the full-dimensional Semiclassical Transition State Theory (SCTST) to estimate the
rate constant of glycine molecule interconversion between the VIp and Ip conformers. We …
