Effect of the transition metals on the carnosine coordination complexes structure

Abstract

The spatial and electronic structures of the carnosine monomer coordination complexes with zinc and copper ions were investigated by the semi-empirical of ММ <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">+</sup> molecular mechanics and РМ3 quantum chemistry methods. The effect of the transition atoms on the geometrical and energy parameters of the monomer complexes with two forms of imidazole ring was studied.
