Bithiazole moiety of bleomycin, a DNA cutting agent has been investigated using ab initio method. B3LYP/6-31G* level has been shown to be suitable for optimizing structural properties of bithiazole compounds. Mother nature has chosen the 2,4'-bithiazole isomer, which has interesting bioactivity. Other isomers such as 2,2c-bithiazole and 4,4'-bithiazole, which have similar structures and reactivity in vitro chemistry, were studied and compared with 2,4'-bithiazole isomer to find out what is special about this isomer in order to illustrate its bioactivity. These studies have confirmed that 2,4'-bithiazole isomeris more stable, its electron affinity is higher and has special electrostatic charac eristics compared to other isomers. These properties of 2,4'-bithiazole can be related to the roles of this part of drug in DNA cleavage.
