Role of hydration in determining the structure and vibrational spectra of L-alanine and N-acetyl L-alanine N'-methylamide in aqueous solution: a combined theoretical and experimental approach

In this work we have utilised recent density functional theory Born-oppenheimer molecular dynamics simulations to determine the first principles locations of the water molecules in the first solvation shell which are responsible for stabilizing the zwitterionic structure of L-alanine.
