A simple method is presented for projecting the conformation of extended secondary structure elements of peptides and proteins that extend over four C a atoms onto a simple two-dimensional surface. A new set of two degrees of freedom is defined, a pseudodihedral involving four sequential C a atoms,

Abstract
Optimized monopole expansions for the peptide subunits of proteins are developed by a reparameterization of the HΓΌckelβDel Re procedure designed to reproduce closely the electrostatic properties obtained with ab initio OMTP multipole expansions. It is shown that satisfactory values of both potential and field may be obtained for different conformations of the peptide backbone as well as for the common side chains. A comparison is presented for the pentadecapeptide Gramicidin A.

Using potential energy formulas for variation of bond angles and for w-distortion, the conformation of minimum energy for the cis form of the petide unit has been worked out. This agrees very well with the corresponding set of atoms in the crystal structure of Leu-Pro-Gly and the dimensions of a sta
We analyzed several energy functions for predicting the native state of proteins from an energy minimization procedure. We derived the parameters of a given energy function by imposing the basic requirement that the energy of the native conformation of a protein is lower than that of any conformatio
## Abstract We present a systematic procedure for the optimization of the expansion basis for the limited expansion of diatomic overlap density functional theory (LEDOβDFT) and report on optimized auxiliary orbitals for the Ahlrichs split valence plus polarization basis set (SVP) for the elements H
## Abstract In the kinetic theory a great variety of physical systems is investigated by means of Boltzmannβlike equations. This approach is used for neutral gases, neutron as well as radiation transport, plasmas etc. For many problems the knowledge of the properties of the collision operators is o
