A six-dimensional interaction potential for the water dimer has been fitted to ab initio interaction energies computed at 2510 dimer configurations. These energies were obtained by combining the supermolecular second-order energies extrapolated to the complete basis set limit from up to quadruple-zeta quality basis sets with the contribution from the coupled-cluster method including single, dou...

Stability of the π-π stacking interactions in the Ben||N-substituted-coronene complexes was studied using the computational quantum chemistry methods (where Ben is benzene and || denotes π-π stacking interaction, and N-substituted-coronene is coronene molecule which substituted with different number of N atoms). The results reveal simultaneous effects of structure and number of Heteroatom on th...

The binding data for interaction of a homologous series of n-alkyl sulfates with alkyl chainlengths from C8 to C12 with insulin were analyzed on basis of Hill equation for two classes ofbinding sites .The intrinsic Gibbs free energies were calculated and resolute on basis ofelectrostatic and hydrophobic contributions The estimation of these contributions reveals themajor role of electrostatic i...

We develop a scaling relationship between the exciton binding energy and the external dielectric function in carbon nanotubes. We show that the electron–electron and electron–hole interaction energies are strongly affected by screening yet largely counteract each other, resulting in much smaller changes in the optical transition energy. The model indicates that the relevant particle interaction...

The molecular properties known to play an essential role in drug-receptor interaction of substructures models of bioactive molecules have been studied using chemical quantum calculations. 1,4-diformyl-piperazine and 1,4-dithionyl-piperazine have been used as models to probe conformational behaviors and some electronic properties of substructure of some tri-substituted piperazine showing dual an...

to determine the non-bonded interaction energies between naphthalene and b12n12 nano ring in different orientations and distances, geometry of molecules with b3lyp method and 6-31g* basis set optimized. also reactivity and stability of naphthalene alone and in the presence b12n12 nano ring checked. then calculated the nbo, nmr, freq, nics and muliken charge of naphthalene atoms alone and in the...

UNLABELLED Interaction free energies are crucial for analyzing binding propensities in proteins. Although the problem of computing binding free energies remains open, approximate estimates have become very useful for filtering potential binding complexes. We report on the implementation of a fast computational estimate of the binding free energy based on a statistically determined desolvation c...

Aromatic amino acid residues are often present in carbohydrate-binding sites of proteins. These binding sites are characterized by a placement of a carbohydrate moiety in a stacking orientation to an aromatic ring. This arrangement is an example of CH/pi interactions. Ab initio interaction energies for 20 carbohydrate-aromatic complexes taken from 6 selected ultra-high resolution X-ray structur...
