The general problem of the determination of thestructure of water molecules surrounding biological molecules has been investigated with a method capable of providing an adequate simulationof liquid water (at room temperature) and ion pairs in aqueous solution (at room temperature). SCF-LCAO-MO computations are presented here for 21 amino acids interacting with one molecule of water located at different positions and orientations around each amino acid. The 1690 computed total energies, E, for the water-amino acid complex have been fitted with an analytical potential of the form E-(—A¡ jab/r¡ j6+ Bijab/r¡ jn+ C¡ jab/r¡ j)+¿(amino acid)+¿(water), where i and j designate two atoms, one in the amino acid and the second in the water molecule, a is an index that distinguishes the electronic environment of an atom in the amino acid, b is an index that distinguishes between either a hydrogen or the oxygen atom in the water molecule, A, B, and C are fitting constants,¿(amino acid) and¿(water) are the total energies of the amino acid and of the water molecule, respec-tively, at infinite separation from the other. The standard deviation of the fit (comparing the 1690 SCF-LCAO-MO energies with those obtained by the above analytical potential) is 0.6 kcal/mol.
