Abstract
Several glycating carbonyl compounds have been studied by resorting to the latest Minnesota family of density functional with the objective of determinating their molecular properties. In particular, the chemical reactivity descriptors that arise from conceptual density functional theory and chemical reactivity theory have been calculated through a Delta SCF protocol. The validity of the KID (Koopmans' in DFT) procedure has been checked by comparing the reactivity descriptors obtained from the values of the HOMO and LUMO with those calculated through vertical energy values. The reactivity sites have been determined by means of the calculation of the Fukui function indices, the condensed dual descriptor Delta f (r) and the electrophilic and nucleophilic Parr functions. The glycating power of the studied compounds have been compared with the same property for simple carbohydrates.
