Resolution of identity standard density functional theory augmented with a damped empirical dispersion term (RI-DFT-D) calculations have been carried out on a set of lowest energy minima of tryptophyl-glycine (Trp-Gly) and tryptophyl-glycyl-glycine (Trp-Gly-Gly) peptides. RI-DFT-D (TPSS/TZVP) results are in excellent agreement with benchmark data based on the CCSD(T) method. Experimental spectra could be assigned according to the calculated IR frequencies. Central processing unit (CPU) time requirements are only slightly higher than those needed for the DFT calculations. Consequently, RI-DFT-D theory seems to be a promising methodology for studying oligopeptides with accuracy comparable to ab initio quantum chemical calculations.
