Abstract
The SIBFA procedure (Sum of Interactions Between Fragments computedAb initio, Ref [1]) is extended to the study of the conformational behavior of representative molecules containing amide nitrogens and carbonyl and carboxylate oxygens. The molecules studied are C- and N-ethylammonium formamide, C- and N-ethanol-formamide, ethylammonium formate and ethanolformate. The cases investigated include interactions of the types which occur between functional groups in proteins or ionophores. The accuracy of the procedure, assessed by comparing the results to those of correspondingab initio SCF computations, is very satisfactory. An application of the procedure to study the conformation of the glycyl and alanyl dipeptides as a function of the backbone torsional angles φ and ψ is presented.
