Abstract:
An established combination of quantum mechanical calculations and molecular dynamics simulations (Worth, C.A., King, P.M. and Richards, W.G. (1989) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 993, 134-136; Cieplak, P., Singh, U.C. and Kollman, P.A. (1987) Int. J. Quant. Chem. QBS14, 65-74; Reynolds, C.A., King, P.M. and Richards, W.G. (1988) Nature 334, 80-82) has been used to calculate the tautomer ratios of histamine species in aqueous solution. The results are in good agreement with experiment and provide a bridge between experimental data and earlier theoretical calculations.
