Özet
Ab initio (RHF/STO-3G) quantum chemical calculations using the self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) model were carried out to analyze the effect of solvent polarity on the relative Gibbs free energies, the dipole moments, and the structural stability of peptide macrocycles based on unsubstituted cyclo[Gly6] and its trisubstituted derivatives containing Me, NH2, or OH groups at the Cα atom. The macrocycles studied are stable in water at both room temperature and at body fever temperature, which is important for the design of a stable nanovehicle for drug delivery in water. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
