The genetic algorithm based on the Multi-Niche Crowding (MNC) method is used with the semi-empirical methods AM1 and PM3 in order to scan the potential energy surface (PES) of neutral and protonated glycine. The algorithm is implemented as a package of programs interfaced with MOPAC and piloted by scripts. Both methods AM1 and PM3 located six minima on the PES of neutral glycine and seven on the protonated glycine one, of which three are those of the N -protonated form and four of the O -protonated one.

After a short historical account of the theory of the ion, two ab initio methods are reviewed that allow the computation of the ground-state potential energy surface (PES) of in the Born–Oppenheimer (BO) approximation, with microhartree or even sub-microhartree accuracy, namely the R12 method and the method of explicitly correlated Gaussians. The BO-PES is improved by the inclusion of relativistic effects and adiabatic corrections. It is discussed how non-adiabatic effects on rotation and vibration can be simulated by corrections to the moving nuclear masses. The importance of the appropriate analytic fit to the computed points of the PES for the subsequent computation of the rovibronic spectrum is addressed. Some recent extensions of the computed PES in the energy region above the barrier to linearity are reviewed. This involves a large set of input geometries and the correct treatment of the dissociation asymptotics, including the coupling with the first excited singlet state. Some comments on this state as well as on the lowest triplet state of are made. The paper ends with a few remarks on the ion .
