The structure of His-tagged Geobacillus stearothermophilus purine nucleoside phosphorylase reveals a `spanner in the works'
(International Union of Crystallography (IUCr), 2022)The 1.72 Å resolution structure of purine nucleoside phosphorylase from Geobacillus stearothermophilus, a thermostable protein of potential interest for the biocatalytic synthesis of antiviral nucleoside compounds, is ... -
Hydrogen delocalization in an asymmetric biomolecule: The curious case of alpha-fenchol
(MDPI AG, 2022)Rotational microwave jet spectroscopy studies of the monoterpenol α-fenchol have so far failed to identify its second most stable torsional conformer, despite computational predictions that it is only very slightly higher ... -
Interpolated potential energy surfaces: How accurate do the second derivatives have to be?
(AIP Publishing, 2005)A global potential energy surface for the water dimer is constructed using the modified Shepard interpolation scheme of Collins et al. According to this interpolation scheme, the energy at an arbitrary geometry is expressed ... -
A classical trajectory study of the photodissociation of T1 acetaldehyde: The transition from impulsive to statistical dynamics
(AIP Publishing, 2006)Previous experimental and theoretical studies of the radical dissociation channel of T1 acetaldehyde show conflicting behavior in the HCO and CH3 product distributions. To resolve these conflicts, a full-dimensional ... -
Computation and interpretation of molecular Omega intracules
(AIP Publishing, 2007)The Omega intracule is a three-dimensional function that describes the relative positions, momenta, and directions of motion of pairs of electrons in a system. In this paper, we describe the computation of the Omega intracule ... -
Intracule Functional Models II. Analytically integrable kernels
(AIP Publishing, 2007)We present, within the framework of intracule functional theory (IFT), a class of kernels whose correlation integrals can be found in closed form. This approach affords three major advantages over other kernels that we ... -
A Systematic CCSD(T) Study of Long-Range and Non-Covalent Interactions between Benzene and a Series of First and Second Row Hydrides and Rare Gas Atoms
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2009)Binding energies, potential energy curves, and equilibrium intermonomer distances describing the interaction between benzene and a series of first - and second-row hydrides and rare gas atoms are calculated using coupled-cluster ... -
Multifunctional and Stable Monolayers on Carbon: A Simple and Reliable Method for Backfilling Sparse Layers Grafted from Protected Aryldiazonium Ions
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2016)A new strategy for preparation of robust multifunctional low nanometer thickness monolayers on carbon substrates is presented. Beginning with protected aryldiazonium salts, sparse monolayers of ethynyl-, amino-, and ... -
Path integral Monte Carlo simulations of H2 adsorbed to lithium-doped benzene: A model for hydrogen storage materials
(AMER INST PHYSICS, 2015)Finite temperature quantum and anharmonic effects are studied in H2-Li+-benzene, a model hydrogen storage material, using path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) simulations on an interpolated potential energy surface refined ... -
Compact expressions for spherically-averaged position and momentum densities
(AIP Publishing, 2009)Compact expressions for spherically averaged position and momentum density integrals are given in terms of spherical Bessel functions (jn) and modified spherical Bessel functions (in), respectively. All integrals required ... -
A Hierarchy of Static Correlation Models
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2013)It is commonly accepted in the scientific literature that the static correlation energy, Estat, of a system can be defined as the exact correlation energy of its valence electrons in a minimal basis. Unfortunately, the ... -
Optimal Composition of Atomic Orbital Basis Sets for Recovering Static Correlation Energies
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2014)Static correlation energies (Estat) are calculated in a range of basis sets for a chemically diverse collection of atoms and molecules. The reliability of a basis set in capturing Estat is assessed according to the following: ... -
Are "bright-state" models appropriate for analyzing fermi-coupled bands in molecular vibrational spectra?
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2021)Bright-state models are often applied to "deperturb"Fermi-coupled bands in molecular vibrational spectra, in cases where a harmonically forbidden transition "borrows"intensity from an energetically nearby allowed transition. ... -
New atoms-in-molecules dispersion models for use in ab initio derived force fields
(AIP Publishing, 2021)Recently, substantial research efforts have gone into bridging the accuracy-efficiency gap between parameterized force field models and quantum chemical calculations by extracting molecule-specific force fields directly ... -
