An integrated quantum mechanical approach for the structural and magnetic characterization of flexible free radicals in solution has been applied to a model of the glycyl radical engaged in peptidic chains. The hyperfine couplings computed using hybrid density functionals and purposely tailored basis sets are in good agreement with experiment when vibrational averaging effects from low frequency motions and solvent effects (both direct H bonding and bulk) are taken into the proper account. The g tensor shows a smaller dependence on the specific form of the density functional, the extension of the basis set over a standard double-zeta+polarization level, vibrational averaging, and bulk solvent effects. However, hydrogen bridges with solvent molecules belonging to the first solvation shell play a significant role. Together with their intrinsic interest, our results show that a comprehensive and reliable computational approach is becoming available for the complete characterization of open-shell systems of biological interest in their natural environment.
