Abstract excerpt
Electronic transitions in aromatic side chains are responsible for the characteristics of proteins in the near UV. We present the first systematic study of a large number of proteins focused on the accurate calculation of near-UV circular dichroism (CD) spectra. We report new parameter sets derived from ab initio calculations for benzene, phenol, and indole that describe the valence electronic transitions to the...
