COMPARAÇÃO ENTRE MÉTODOS PARA DETERMINAÇÃO DE CARGAS ATÔMICAS EM SISTEMAS MOLECULARES: A MOLÉCULA N-{N-(PTERINA-7-IL)CARBONILGLICIL}-L-TIROSINA (NNPT)

Selecting a method to compute partial atomic charges is not trivial because different methods usually provide different charge values and there is no consensus on the most useful approach. In this work, Mulliken, MBS, Chelp, Chelpg, MK, Hirshfeld, NPA, DMA and AIM methods were selected to compute atomic charges and electric dipole moment vector of N-{N-(Pterin-7-yl)carbonylglycyl}-L-tyrosine molecule, a ricin inhibitor which has different types of bonds and chemical environments. While MBS and DMA methods provided the most chemically consistent charges according to atomic electronegativity and...
