Recent calorimetric measurements of the solvation enthalpies of some dipeptide analogs confirm our earlier prediction that the principle of group additivity is not valid for the interaction of the peptide group with water. We examine the consequences for understanding the

Highly correlated ab initio calculations (CCSD(T)) are used to compute gas phase spectroscopic parameters of three isotopologues of the methyl acetate (CH(3)COOCH(3), CD(3)COOCH(3), and CH(3)COOCD(3)), searching to help experimental assignments and astrophysical detections. The molecule shows two conformers cis and

Several serine hydrolases catalyze a promiscuous reaction: perhydrolysis of carboxylic acids to form peroxycarboxylic acids. The working hypothesis is that perhydrolases are more selective than esterases for hydrogen peroxide over water. In this study, we tested this hypothesis, and focused

The solvation dynamics of methyl acetate in heavy water are analyzed by means of two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy, in conjunction with Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics simulations. The C horizontal lineO stretching infrared band of methyl acetate in water splits into a doublet

The mechanisms and the kinetics of the OH (OD) radicals with methyl acetate CH3C(O)OCH3 are investigated theoretically. The dual-level direct dynamics method is employed in the calculation of the rate constants. The optimized geometries and frequencies and the gradients of
