Abstract

The AM1 and PM3 potential energy surfaces of cyclopentane have been compared and the energy difference between two (boat and chair) cyclohexane conformers analyzed. The effects of reparameterization and different core‐repulsion functions (CRFs) have been studied. The HH, CH, and CC CRF energy contributions have been calculated separately. The results show that the CRF energy corrections stabilize the correct (MM2 and ab initio) geometries. The PM3 equilibrium geometry of cyclopentane is closer to the MM2 and ab initio results than the AM1 geometry. It is known that above 190 pm the AM1 HH CRF curve is smooth and negative but the PM3 HH CRF curve has a trough and a shoulder. It has been shown that this latter oscillation is not damped by other parameters. As a result, the HH PM3 energy gradient curve is different from the quasilinear AM1 and ab initio gradient curves. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The potential energy surfaces of four cyclic alkanes have been examined using molecular mechanics, semiempirical, and ab initio methods to determine if they produce mutually consistent results and investigate the source of any errors between the methods. The C5 -CR cyclic alkanes were chosen since t

Pipecolic acid derivatives have proven to be effective Pi groups in a series of highly potent inhibitors of the enzyme HIV protease. One such inhibitor, Ro 31-8959, contains the saturated bicyclic ring system decahydroisoquinoline (DIQ) in the Pi position. The binding orientation of Ro 31-8959 is kn
