## Abstract Monte Carlo simulation results are reported for clusters consisting of 250 water molecules surrounding serine, both in the neutral form and in two zwitterionic conformers (in order to gain some insight into conformational effects). Calculations were carried out at 300 K and using twoβbo

Abstract
Along the lines of previous work [S. Romano and E. Clementi, Gazz. Chim. Ital. 108, 319 (1978); Int. J. Quantum Chem. 14, 839 (1978); 17, 1007 (1980)], we carried out Monte Carlo simulation on serineβwater clusters (the neutral molecule and two conformers of the zwitterion) surrounded by an appropriate dielectric continuum simulating the bulk solvent. Results for clusters in vacuo and in the dielectric continuum were compared; similarities and differences could be qualitatively interpreted as produced by competition among different factors.

The positions and orientations of water molecules in violuric acid crystals have been determined with the Metropolis Monte Carlo method. The interaction potentials between water and violuric acid needed in the simulation have been developed using ab initio calculations corrected for the basis set su
