Abstract:The interaction between
cysteine with Li
+
and LiF in
the microcosmic water environment was investigated to elucidate how
ions interact with amino acids and the cation–anion correlation
effect involved. The structures of Cys·Li

n
(
n
= 0–6) were characterized
using ab initio calculations. Our studies show that the… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
