β¦ Synopsis
The energetics of the Xyx3X; portion of the disulfide bridge have been obtained from an ab initio study of diethyl disulfide. Calculations at the 3-21G* level were done on relaxed structures at every -30" in X: and X;, and the additional energies for small AX3 were obtained. Complete E ( x : , Xi) and Xi( X:, Xi) maps were computed from Fourier series expansions. These results have been used to calculate the energetics of 92 disulfide bridges in known protein structures, and to compare ab initio and molecular mechanics energies for some observed and predicted bridges. The differences found in relative energies and in X; values suggest that present energy functions give a limited description of the structural and energetic properties of the disulfide bridge.

HCuCO is studied using a large Gaussian basis set at the coupled cluster singles and doubles level of theory, including a perturbational estimate of the connected triples (CCSD( T) ). In contrast with C&O, HCuCO is linear. The Cu-CO bond in HCuCO is significantly stronger than in CuCO. These differe
