Abstract

Formation of carnosine from histidine and b-alanine is studied by ab initio MO-LCAO-SCF method followed by the perturbative configuration interaction (MP2) in vacuo. After the full geometry optimization at the SCF level, the molecular properties were evaluated and followed by the vibrational-rotational analysis. Consequently, the energy, entropy and free energy were evaluated for the reactants and products of the reaction histidine + beta-alanine = carnosine + H2O and finally the equilibrium constant was enumerated.
