Quantum and Classical Vibrational Relaxation Dynamics of N -Methylacetamide on Ab Initio Potential Energy Surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Employing extensive quantum-chemical calculations at the DFT/B3LYP and MP2 level, quartic force fields of isolated N-methylacetamide are constructed. Taking into account 24 vibrational degrees of freedom, the model is employed to perform numerically exact vibrational configuration interaction calculations of the vibrational energy relaxation of the amide I mode. It is found that the energy transfer pathways may sensitively depend on details of the theoretical description. Moreover, the exact reference calculations were used to study the applicability and accuracy of (i) the quasiclassical trajectory method, (ii) time-dependent second-order perturbation theory, and (iii) the instantaneous normal mode description of frequency fluctuations. Based on the results, several strategies to describe vibrational energy relaxation in biomolecular systems are discussed. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem 109: 2047–2057, 2009
