An improved method for the computation of ligand steric effects based on solid angles.
An improved algorithm has been designed to characterize ligand interactions in organometallic and coordination complexes in terms of the percentage of the metal coordination sphere shielded by a given ligand. The computations for ligand solid angles are performed numerically and employ introduced atomic radii that are larger than covalent but smaller than van der Waals radii. This approach enab...
متن کاملSolid-state dimer method for calculating solid-solid phase transitions.
The dimer method is a minimum mode following algorithm for finding saddle points on a potential energy surface of atomic systems. Here, the dimer method is extended to include the cell degrees of freedom for periodic solid-state systems. Using this method, reaction pathways of solid-solid phase transitions can be determined without having to specify the final state structure or reaction mechani...
متن کاملAn Efficient Computational Method for Calculating Ligand Binding Affinities
Virtual compound screening using molecular docking is widely used in the discovery of new lead compounds for drug design. However, the docking scores are not sufficiently precise to represent the protein-ligand binding affinity. Here, we developed an efficient computational method for calculating protein-ligand binding affinity, which is based on molecular mechanics generalized Born/surface are...
متن کاملAn improved method for calculating the no-fit polygon
The no-fit polygon (NFP) is the set of feasible locations that one polygon may take with respect to another polygon, such that the polygons do not overlap. Feasible locations are required for most of the solutions to two-dimensional packing problems, and also for other problems such as robot motion planning. Efficient methods to calculate the NFP of two convex polygons, or one convex and one no...
متن کاملAn Improved Algorithmic Method for Software Development Effort Estimation
Accurate estimating is one of the most important activities in the field of software project management. Different aspects of software projects must be estimated among which time and effort are of significant importance to efficient project planning. Due to complexity of software projects and lack of information at the early stages of project, reliable effort estimation is a challenging issue. ...
