Electronic Charge Density and Electrostatic Potential of Pterin, 7,8-Dihydropterin and 5,6,7,8-Tetrahydropterin - an Ab initio Quantum Chemical Study

Ab initio quantum chemical computations at the Hartree-Fock 6-31g** level of theory were performed on pterin, 7,8-dihydropterin and 5,6,7,8 -tetrahydropterin. The resulting electronic charge density functions and the electrostatic potential functions of the molecules are visualized by graphical soft...
