Abstract: | The extended Huckel molecular orbital method was used to predict the preferred conformation of thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH). Calculation of the whole molecule confirmed the conformational preferences of the individual amino acid residues calculated separately. A stereochemical basis is predicted for the differing activity of methyl and methyl TRH analogues. |
