Abstract

This paper reports on our mass spectrometric study of sublimation of glycine and DL-alanyl-glycine (Ala-gly). The sublimation enthalpy of Ala-gly has been determined by generalization of the data obtained and the results of AM1 quantum-chemical calculations. A relationship has been found between the sublimation enthalpy (ΔH subl), heat capacity (C P), and the sum of bond lengths (Σn i l i ) in 17 α-amino acid and 9 dipeptide molecules. Correlations are suggested for evaluating ΔH subl of amino acids and peptides.
