Density functional theory calculations on entire proteins for free energies of binding: application to a model polar binding site.
In drug optimization calculations, the molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA) method can be used to compute free energies of binding of ligands to proteins. The method involves the evaluation of the energy of configurations in an implicit solvent model. One source of errors is the force field used, which can potentially lead to large errors due to the restrictions in accur...
متن کاملTime-dependent density-functional approach for exciton binding energies
Optical processes in insulators and semiconductors, including excitonic effects, can be described in principle exactly using time-dependent density-functional theory TDDFT . Starting from a linearization of the TDDFT semiconductor Bloch equations in a two-band model, we derive a simple formalism for calculating exciton binding energies. This formalism leads to a generalization of the standard W...
متن کاملValidation of Koopmans' theorem for density functional theory binding energies.
Both initial state effects, to a good approximation the electrostatic potential at the nucleus, and final state effects, due to the response of the electrons to the presence of the core-hole, contribute to core-level binding energies, BE's. For Hartree-Fock, HF, wavefunctions, Koopmans' theorem, KT, which states that the initial state BE = -ε ιs rigorous. However, the KT relationship is commonl...
متن کاملStrained graphene: tight-binding and density functional calculations
We determine the band structure of graphene under strain using density functional calculations. The ab-initio band strucure is then used to extract the best fit to the tight-binding hopping parameters used in a recent microscopic model of strained graphene. It is found that the hopping parameters may increase or decrease upon increasing strain, depending on the orientation of the applied stress...
متن کاملCalculations of free energies in liquid and solid phases: fundamental measure density-functional approach.
In this paper, a theoretical description of the free energies and correlation functions of hard-sphere (HS) liquid and solid phases is developed using fundamental measure density-functional theory. Within the framework of Weeks-Chandler-Andersen perturbation theory, free energies of liquid and solid phases with many interaction potentials can be obtained from these characteristics of the HS sys...
