Glycine conformational analysis

Ab initio quantum mechanical methods, including the self-consistent field (SCF), single and double excitation configuration interaction (CISD), the single and double excitation coupled cluster (CCSD), and the single, double, and perturbative triple excitation coupled cluster [CCSD(T)] have been applied to five C s conformers and four of their C l counterparts on the potential energy hypersurface of glycine. A large basis set TZ2P+f designated H(5s2p1d/3s2p1d) and C,N,O(10s6p2d1f/5s3p2d1f) was chosen to evaluate the importance of d functions on hydrogen and f functions on carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen
