BACKGROUND The Drosophila central nervous system (CNS) develops from a segmentally reiterated array of 30 neural precursors. Each precursor acquires a unique identity and goes through a stereotyped cell lineage to produce an invariant family of neurons and/or glia. The proneural genes achaete, scute and lethal of scute are required for neural precursor formation in the Drosophila CNS, and are e...

Adsorption of water onto metal oxide surfaces is a long-standing problem motivated by relevance to many promising technological applications. In this work, we compute the adsorption energy of water on SrTiO3 using periodic Møller-Plesset second-order perturbation theory (MP2). We compare our MP2 results to density functional and hybrid density functional theory calculations with and without the...

Accurate MP2 and CCSD(T) complete basis set (CBS) interaction energy curves (14 points for each curve) have been obtained for 20 of the dimers reported in the S22 set and analytical Morse curves have been fitted that can be used in developing updated density functional theory (DFT) and force field models. The magnitude and the effect of the basis set superposition error (BSSE) were carefully in...

The methamphetamine has been studied theoretically at the MP2 [1]/6-31G[2] level in gas phase.Methamphetamine has been investigated Via NMR, Frequencies Calculation and NBO analysis. Thestructure of methamphetamine was designed primarily using of Chem. Bio Draw and it geometry hasbeen optimized at the MP2/6-31G computational level. The present work consists the study of themethamphetamine repor...

the character of the intermolecular interactions in cl2-hx (x =f, cl and br) complexes has been investigated by means of the second-order möller–plesset perturbation theory (mp2) and the density functional theory (dft) calculations. the results show that there are two types of lowest interaction potential equilibrium structures in the interactions between cl2 and hx: x∙∙∙cl type geometry and hy...

The binding energy and geometrical structure of all the possible dimeric systems of isothiocyanic acid (HNCS) with ozone have been investigated in the gas phase, theoretically. Six minima located on the singlet potential energy surface of the HNCS–ozone system at the MP2 level with binding energies (corrected with ZPE and BSSE) in the range 492.29–531.40 kcal/mol. All intermolecular interaction...

We have performed reference quantum-chemical calculations for about 130 structures of adenine dimers in stacked conformations, with special attention given to dimers that are either vertically compressed (parallel structures) or contain close interatomic contacts (non-parallel structures). Such geometries are sampled during thermal fluctuations of nucleic acids and contribute to the local confo...

When calculating the spin multiplicity at either second-order Møller-Plesset (MP2) or iterative approximate coupled-cluster singles and doubles (CC2) levels of theory using same strategy for calculation expectation value as in regular CC together with usual definitions MP2 CC2 density matrices, artificial contamination occurs closed-shell molecules. Non-intuitively, open-shell systems, results ...
