ANALYSIS OF BIOMOLECULES OF THE FUNGUS HERICIUM ERINACEUS THROUGH THE THEORY OF ELECTRON TRANSFER OF QUANTUM CHEMISTRY AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PRIMARY AMINO ACIDS

Manuel Aparicio-Razo and *Manuel González-Pérez

ABSTRACT

This article shows the analysis of 58 biomolecules present in the Hericium Erinaceus fungus. This analysis was carried out using the Electron Transfer Coefficient (ETC) theory of quantum chemistry. The study's objective was to find that amino acids (AA) have a high probability of presenting reducing characteristics. The reducing characteristics of this AA are related to the biological activity in the nervous system. The analysis results show 27 molecules and 12 AA with a high probability of interaction. The AAs Serine and Threonine participate as donors of hydrogen bonds, Aspartic, and Glutamic acid as potential acceptors of hydrogen bonds.
