+44 1625708989Exploring the Structure and Properties of Dopamine through Density Functional Theory Analysis
Author(s): Lewis GeorgeDensity Functional Theory (DFT) is a quantum mechanical model used to investigate the electronic structure of many-
body systems, particularly atoms, molecules, and the condensed phases. When applied to a molecule like dopamine,
it provides deep insights into its properties, such as electronic energy, molecular geometry, and charge distribution.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter, a type of chemical messenger that transmits signals in the brain and other vital areas.
It's responsible for several functions, including mood regulation, motor control, and reward processing. Understanding
the behavior of dopamine at a molecular level can have profound implications in neuroscience, pharmacology, and
drug design
