On the helix-coil transition in alanine based polypeptides in gas phase
Using multicanonical simulations, the authors study the effect of charged end groups on helix formation in alanine based polypeptides. They confirm earlier reports that neutral polyalanine exhibits a ...

Infrared spectra of the Li+–(H2)n (n=1–3) cation complexes
The Li+–(H2)n n=1–3 complexes are investigated through infrared spectra recorded in the H–H stretch region (3980–4120  cm−1) and through ab initio calculations ...

Electrophilic amination is an appealing synthetic strategy to construct carbon-nitrogen bonds. The authors explore the use of the quantum Monte Carlo method and a proposed variant of the electron pair localization function—the electron pair localization function density—as a measure of the nucleophilicity of nitrogen lone pairs as a possible screening procedure for electrophilic reagents. ©2007 American Institute of Physics
