Angiotensin Converting-Enzyme （ACE） inhibitors are potential drugs for hypertension.There are three requirements to be necessary for successful inhibition of ACE:1) a functional group capable of binding to zine in the active site (i.e.carboxylate,phosphonate,or sulfhydryl);2) a carbonyl oxygen capable of accepting a hydryogen bond from some donor residue functional groups and 3) an ionizable C-terminal carboxylate moiety which interacts with positively charged residue〔1〕. We reported active conformers of some ACE inhibitor molecules,which were derived by Distance Comparison〔2〕.In this paper,the electronic structure of the lowest energy conformers and active conformers of the ACE inhibitor molecules (Figure 1) were calculated through ab initio calculation by using Gaussian94 package.The Density Functional Theory (DFT) method and 6-31G** basis set were used 〔3〕.The calculation results were listed in Table 1.The total energies、HOMO energies and the charges of the marked atoms of all active conformers were higher than that of the correspondent lowest energy conformers.They were useful clues for designing novel analogs to inhibit the activity of ACE.
