Abstract Side-chain proton affinities for a series of peptide-forming amino acids have been calculated using ab initio Hartree-Fock-Roothaan SCF method; the order of proton affinities is Arg 〉 His 〉 Ser ≈ Tyr ≫ Lys. Protonation of some side-chains in a protein may introduce new energy levels in the band gaps thus fundamentally altering the conduction properties of the proteins.
