PM3 and DFT Computational Studies of the Reaction Mechanism of Formaldehyde and Isoleucine

The reaction of formaldehyde and Isoleucine was studied using semi-empirical and density functional theory methods. Possible reactive sites are proposed and reaction mechanism postulated. It was found that the Isoleucine nitrogen attacks the carbonyl carbon of formaldehyde and forms a methylol inter...
