Abstract
The potential energy surfaces (PESs) of serine and its protonated counterparts are investigated to determine the structures of the minima. A total of 95 neutral serine, 15 N-(amino-) and 46 O-(carbonyl-)protonated serine conformers are found. Their relative energies, geometries and harmonic vibrational frequencies are determined at the MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory. To obtain highly accurate thermodynamic values, further computations are performed: the ten conformers with the lowest relative energies from each molecule type (neutral, N- and O-protonated) are further optimized using the explicitly correlated CCSD(T)-F12a/cc-pVDZ-F12 method (for neutral serine, harmonic vibrational frequencies were also computed). In addition, auxiliary corrections were determined: basis-set effects up to CCSD(T)-F12b/cc-pVQZ-F12, electron correlation effects up to CCSDT(Q), core correlation and second-order Douglas-Kroll relativistic effects along with zero-point energy contributions. Two important thermodynamic parameters (at 298.15 K), proton affinity (PA)/gas-phase basicity (GB) are calculated considering the two different protonation sites: 218.05 ± 0.2/209.86 ± 0.6 kcal mol-1 and 205.87 ± 0.2/196.36 ± 0.3 kcal mol-1 for the amino and carbonyl sites, respectively. The uncertainty of the determined values was approximated based on various sources including auxiliary corrections, basis-set effects, harmonic vibrational frequencies.

Abstract
We determine the proton affinity (PA) and gas-phase basicity (GB) of amino acid α-alanine at a chemically accurate level by performing explicitly-correlated CCSD(T)-F12b/aug-cc-pVDZ geometry optimizations and normal mode vibrational frequency calculations as well as CCSD(T)-F12b/aug-cc-pVTZ energy computations at the possible neutral and protonated geometries. Temperature effects at 298.15 K considering translational, rotational, and vibrational enthalpy and entropy corrections are obtained via standard statistical mechanics utilizing the molecular geometries and the harmonic vibrational energy levels. Both the amino nitrogen (N) and the carbonyl oxygen (O) atoms are proven to be potential protonation sites and a systematic conformational search reveals 3 N- and 9 O-protonated conformers in the 0.00-7.88 and 25.43-30.43 kcal/mol energy ranges at 0 K, respectively. The final computed PA and GB values at (0)298.15 K in case of N-protonation are (214.47)216.80 and 207.07 kcal/mol, respectively, whereas the corresponding values for O-protonation are (189.04)190.63 and 182.31 kcal/mol. The results of the benchmark high-level coupled-cluster computations are utilized to assess the accuracy of several lower-level cost-effective methods such as MP2 and density functional theory with various functionals (SOGGA11-X, M06-2X, PBE0, B3LYP, M06, TPSS).

Abstract
Basicities for derivatives of patriscabrin A and lettucenin A were calculated with density functional theory. A significant correlation is observed between the basicity and Hammett σ parameters. Protonation increases the aromatic character of the cyclic moieties of each natural product. The naturally occurring structures are predicted to be the most aromatic.

Abstract
A systematic conformational search reveals three N- (amino) and eight O- (carbonyl) protonated glycine conformers with benchmark equilibrium(adiabatic) relative energies in the 0.00-7.51(0.00-7.37) and 25.91-31.61(24.45-30.28) kcal mol-1 ranges, respectively. Benchmark ab initio structures of the glycine conformers and its protonated species are obtained at the CCSD(T)-F12b/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory and the relative energy computations consider basis-set effects up to aug-cc-pVQZ with CCSD(T)-F12b, electron correlation up to CCSDT(Q), core correlation corrections, scalar relativistic effects, and zero-point energy contributions. The best predictions for Boltzmann-averaged 0(298.15) K proton affinities and [298.15 K gas-phase basicities] of glycine are 211.00(212.43)[204.75] and 186.38(187.64)[180.21] kcal mol-1 for N- and O-protonation, respectively, in excellent agreement with experiments.

Abstract
Accurate gas-phase enthalpies of formation (ΔfH298°) of 20 common α-amino acids, seven uncommon amino acids, and three small peptides were calculated by combining G4 theory calculations with an isodesmic reaction approach. The internal consistency over a set of ΔfH298°(g) values was achieved by sequential adjustment of their values through the isodesmic reactions. Four amino acids, alanine, β-alanine, sarcosine, and glycine, with reliable internally self-consistent experimental data, were chosen as the key reference compounds. These amino acids together with about 100 compounds with reliable experimental data (their accuracy was supported by G4 calculations) were used to estimate the enthalpies of formation of remaining amino acids. All of the amino acids with the previously established enthalpies of formation were later used as the reference species in the isodesmic reactions for the other amino acids. A systematic comparison was made of 14 experimentally determined enthalpies of formation with the results of calculations. The experimental enthalpies of formation for 10 amino acids were reproduced with good accuracy, but the experimental and calculated values for 4 compounds differed by 11–21 kJ/mol. For these species, the theoretical ΔfH298°(g) values were suggested as more reliable than the experimental values. On the basis of theoretical results, the recommended values for the gas-phase enthalpies of formation were also provided for amino acids for which the experimental ΔfH298°(g) were not available. The enthalpies of sublimation were evaluated for all compounds by taking into account the literature data on the solid-phase enthalpies of formation and the ΔfH298°(g) values recommended in our work. A special attention was paid to the accurate prediction of enthalpies of formation of amino acids from the atomization reactions. The problems associated with conformational flexibility of these compounds and harmonic treatment of low frequency torsional modes were discussed. The surprisingly good agreement between the ΔfH298°(g) values calculated from the atomization and isodesmic reactions is largely the result of a fortuitous mutual compensation of various corrections used in the atomization reaction procedure.

Abstract
The present article is the third part of a general overview of the gas-phase protonation thermochemistry of polyfunctional molecules (first part: Mass Spectrom. Rev., 2007, 26:775-835, second part: Mass Spectrom. Rev., 2011, in press). This review is devoted to the 20 proteinogenic amino acids and is divided in two parts. In the first one, the experimental data obtained during the last 30 years using the equilibrium, thermokinetic and kinetic methods are presented. A general re-assignment of the values originating from these various experiments has been done on the basis of the commonly accepted Hunter & Lias 1998 gas-phase basicity scale in order to provide an homogeneous set of data. In the second part, theoretical investigations on gaseous neutral and protonated amino acids are reviewed. Conformational landscapes of both types of species were examined in order to provide theoretical protonation thermochemistry based on the truly identified most stable conformers. Proton affinities computed at the presently highest levels of theory (i.e. composite methods such as Gn procedures) are presented. Estimates of thermochemical parameters calculated using a Boltzmann distribution of conformers at 298K are also included. Finally, comparison between experiment and theory is discussed and a set of evaluated proton affinities, gas-phase basicities and protonation entropies is proposed.
