摘要
The potential energy difference between all-trans-retinal and 11-cis-retinal, is calculated from a consideration of non-bonded interatomic potential functions and π electron energy. A series of trial geometric structures for 11-cis-retinal is investigated, each structure differing by rotation about one or more bonds. The minimum potential energy difference achieved is in good agreement with the enthalpy of isomerization of 11-cis-retinal. The structure corresponding to the potential energy minimum is twisted from planarity by 30° to 50° about both of the single bonds adjacent to the isomerized double bond. © 1969.
