摘要
Five density functionals, CAM-B3LYP, LC-ωPBE, MN12SX, N12SX and ωB97XD, in connection with the Def2TZVP basis set were assessed together with the SMD solvation model for the calculation of the molecular and chemical reactivity properties of the Cholecystokinin peptide hormone (CCK-8) in the presence of water. All the chemical reactivity descriptors for the systems were calculated via Conceptual Density Functional Theory (CDFT). The potential bioavailability and druggability as well as the bioactivity scoresfor CCK-8 were predicted through different methodologies already reported in the literature which have been previously validated during the study of different peptidic systems. The conclusion was that the CCK-8 peptide will be moderately bioactive regarding all the interactions.
