The amino acid alanine is choosen as a model molecule for protein structure. To study the effect of metals upon protein Na, K, Ca, Mg, Fe and Zn were respectively coordinated to alanine through the H-bonding of Carboxyl group. Both Na and K are coordinated with one alanine unit while Ca, Mg, Fe and Zn are coordinated with two alanine units. Calculations are conducted with density functional theory at B3LYP/6-31g(d,p) level of theory. The geometrical parameters are calculated including bond lengths and bond angle of COOH group. The total dipole moment, HOMO/LUMO band gap energy and C=O vibration of COOH group are also calculated. Results indicate that, the bond length LC-O is decreased while LC=O and LO-H are increased, a shift in the characteristic band of carboxyl group (C=O) toward lower wavenumbers is recorded. The total dipole moment and band gap energ.. Read More»
