A conformational map for acetylthiocholine has been constructed by the method of
perturbative configuration interaction using localized orbitals. A global minimum, which
is not apparent for acetylcholine, appears at
1 = 60-80 degrees and
2 = 180 degrees. This
corresponds to a trans conformation and is in agreement with the preferred solution
and crystal conformation.
