Acidity constants of lumiflavin from first principles molecular dynamics simulations.
We have computed the free energy profiles of the deprotonation reactions of lumiflavin in the semiquinone and fully reduced oxidation states using constrained DFT-based molecular dynamics simulations. In the semiquinone state, the N5 nitrogen atom and the N1 nitrogen atom can become protonated. We find, in agreement with experiment, that the N5 site is the predominant proton acceptor in the sem...
متن کاملMethod to extract anharmonic force constants from first principles calculations
A method for extracting force constants FCs from first principles is introduced. In principle, provided that forces are accurate enough, it can extract harmonic as well as anharmonic FCs up to any neighbor shell. Symmetries of the FCs as well as those of the lattice are used to reduce the number of parameters to be calculated. The results are illustrated for the case of the Lennard-Jones potent...
متن کاملAdding explicit solvent molecules to continuum solvent calculations for the calculation of aqueous acid dissociation constants.
Aqueous acid dissociation free energies for a diverse set of 57 monoprotic acids have been calculated using a combination of experimental and calculated gas and liquid-phase free energies. For ionic species, aqueous solvation free energies were calculated using the recently developed SM6 continuum solvation model. This model combines a dielectric continuum with atomic surface tensions to accoun...
متن کاملAmmonia synthesis from first-principles calculations.
The rate of ammonia synthesis over a nanoparticle ruthenium catalyst can be calculated directly on the basis of a quantum chemical treatment of the problem using density functional theory. We compared the results to measured rates over a ruthenium catalyst supported on magnesium aluminum spinel. When the size distribution of ruthenium particles measured by transmission electron microscopy was u...
متن کاملTight-binding Hamiltonian from first-principles calculations
The tight-binding method attempts to represent the electronic structure of condensed matter using a minimal atomic-orbital like basis set. To compute tight-binding overlap and Hamiltonian matrices directly from first-principles calculations is a subject of continuous interest. Usually, first-principles calculations are done using a large basis set or long-ranged basis set (e.g. muffin-tin orbit...
