Abstract
Introduction; A detailed knowledge of the conformational behaviour of α-amino substituted carbonylic and thiocarbonylic compounds is essential to improve the understanding of the enzymatic processes involving this kind of molecules, namely the structural and dynamical properties of some enzyme-transient complexes formed within the enzyme active site during some proteolytic reactions. Particularly important is the evaluation of the effects of O→S substitution on the molecular characteristics of these systems, relevant in experimental studies by resonance Raman spectroscopy [1].
