Summary In order to investigate the stabilities of different tautomeric forms of pteridine derivatives with a phenacetyl side chain in the 6- or 7-position, we have performed ab initio quantum chemical geometry optimizations of both the keto form and the vinylogous amide form of 6- and 7-phenacetyl pterin. The results are in accordance with experimental expectations: the keto form is slightly more stable for the 6-substituted derivative (1 .8 kcal per mol). while the vinylogous amide form is substantially more stable for the 7-substituted compound (8 .7 kcal per mol). The vinylogous amide forms are planar molecules, and this geometry enables the interaction between the hydrogen atom at N-5 (or N-8) and the carbonyl function of the side chain. Inspection of the calculated electron densities (population analysis) underlines the suggestion that the vinylogous amide form of 7-phenacetyl pterin is stabilized by a shift of electron density from the nitrogen bonded to C-2 to the carbonyl oxygen atom of the side chain (resonance stabilization via an additional highly conjugated vinylogous amide structure).

Low-lying singlet and triplet electronic states of the BeO molecule are calculated by means of the quantum chemical ab initio method. It was found that all states in the energy range from 0 to 50000 cm-1 are of valence character. Particular attention was paid to the investigation of the dissociative behavior of the states considered. The vibrational structure of the A 1P ? X1S and B 1S+ ? X1S+ spectral systems was calculated.

Cyclic dipeptides show interesting biological activities such as antitumor, antiviral and so on. In biological systems, the bioavailability of drugs is determined by several parameters such as pKa values. In this study, we used DFT and thermodynamics cycle to determine pKa value of side chain of lysine in linear and cyclic dipeptides. All considered dipeptides were optimized using B3LYP and RMSD tool was used to compare the optimized structures. The calculated pKa values were compared with the available experimental data. Our results show that pKa of side chain of lysine increases for cyclic dipeptides compared to the linear ones. To justify the reason of increasing of pKa of cyclic dipeptides, we used NBO and AIM analyses. The analyses showed that a hydrogen bond in cyclic lysine dipeptides is responsible for increasing of pKa.
