Tight-binding ‘dihedral orbitals’ approach to electronic communicability in macromolecular chains
نویسندگان
چکیده
An electronic orbital of a dihedral angle of a molecular chain is introduced. A tight-binding Hamiltonian on the basis of the dihedral orbitals is defined. This yields the Green’s function between two dihedral angles of the chain. It is revealed that the Green’s function, which we refer to as the electronic communicability, is useful in differentiating protein molecules of different types of conformation and secondary structure. 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Tight-binding "dihedral orbitals" approach to the degree of folding of macromolecular chains.
We develop a tight-binding molecular approach to quantify the degree of folding of a macromolecular chain. This approach is based on the linear combination of "dihedral" orbitals to give molecular orbitals (LCDO-MO). The dihedral orbitals are a set of orbitals situated in each dihedral angle of the chain. The LCDO-MO approach remains basically topological, and we display its direct relation to ...
متن کاملCalculation for Energy of (111) Surfaces of Palladium in Tight Binding Model
In this work calculation of energetics of transition metal surfaces is presented. The tight-binding model is employed in order to calculate the energetics. The tight-binding basis set is limited to d orbitals which are valid for elements at the end of transition metals series. In our analysis we concentrated on electronic effects at temperature T=0 K, this means that no entropic term will be pr...
متن کاملTime-Dependent Real-Space Renormalization Group Method
In this paper, using the tight-binding model, we extend the real-space renormalization group method to time-dependent Hamiltonians. We drive the time-dependent recursion relations for the renormalized tight-binding Hamiltonian by decimating selective sites of lattice iteratively. The formalism is then used for the calculation of the local density of electronic states for a one dimensional quant...
متن کاملخواص الکترونی یک زنجیر فیبوناچی
Using a tight-binding model and transfer-matrix technique, as well as Lanczos algorithm, we numerically investigate the nature of the electronic states and electron transmission in site, bond and mixing Fibonacci model chains. We rely on the Landauer formalism as the basis for studying the conduction properties of these systems. Calculating the Lyapunov exponent, we also study the localization...
متن کاملTight- binding study of electronic band structure of anisotropic honeycomb lattice
The two-dimensional structure of graphene, consisting of an isotropic hexagonal lattice of carbon atoms, shows fascinating electronic properties, such as a gapless energy band and Dirac fermion behavior of electrons at fermi surface. Anisotropy can be induced in this structure by electrochemical pressure. In this article, by using tight-binding method, we review anisotropy effects in the elect...
