Abstract:The oxidation of L-proline (Pro) amino acid by HO • radical and the influence of transition metal ions on this process have been investigated by using the density functional theory (DFT) method at the M05-2X/6-311++G(3df,3pd)//M05-2X/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory in the aqueous phase. The results show that Pro can be oxidized by HO • radical via formal hydrogen transfer (FHT) reactions at multiple sites, with the highest branching ratio found at hydrogen atoms H10 (30.04%) and H12 (25.60%). The overall rate co… Show more
