The theoretical background of a simple model of polypeptide chain structure using two parameters: R (A)--the radius of curvature for each pentapeptide chain fragment in the protein, and V (deg)--the dihedral angle between two consecutive peptide bond planes, is presented. The mathematical relationsh

✦ Synopsis
A semi-classical tunneling methodology combined with the use of classical trajectories is adopted in order to evaluate the tunneling splittings for bi-dirnensional surfaces of malonaldehyde and hydrogenoxalate anion proton transfer reactions. It is shown that the optimization of the tunneling path may lead to an important improvement of the results while representing a negligible increment of computation time as compared with the use of straight-line tunneling paths.
