functional groups, L-carnitine, quantum-chemical propertiesAbstract
The distributions of charges and the electrostatic and hydrophobic potentials are analyzed, and the basic reaction centers of a molecule of L-carnitine are revealed. A large dipole moment and the variety of functional groups of the molecule evidence about a possibility of its interaction with polar and nonpolar structures of biomembranes.
