Abstract
Quantum Mechanical investigations have been performed by means of EHT and CNDO/2 methods on the three amino terminal peptides: NH +3 -CH2-CONHCH3, NH +3 -CH(CH3)-CONHCH3 and NH +3 -CH2-CON(CH2)4. The resulting energy maps compare satisfactorily with the distribution of the experimental X-rays data.
