We'd like to be able to predict these energies in order to determine which molecules might contribute to the spectra of glucose. Does anyone know of work being done in this area? Or possibly some equation to calculate these energies? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Bob Whiton UCSD-Bioengineering rwhiton@ucsd.edu .
