We present a parallel implementation of second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory with the resolution-of-the-identity approximation (RI-MP2). The implementation is based on a recent improved sequential implementation of RI-MP2 within the Turbomole program package and employs the message passing interface (MPI) standard for communication between distributed memory nodes. The parallel imple...

In arthropods, melanization plays a major role in the innate immune response to encapsulate and kill the invasive organisms. It is mediated by a serine protease cascade and is regulated by serpins. The identification of the molecular components of melanization and the regulation of those components are still unclear in Drosophila melanogaster, although some genetic research on the activation of...

Basis set pairings for dual-basis calculations are presented for the aug-cc-pVXZ (X = D, T, Q) series of basis sets. Fidelity with single-basis results is assessed at the second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) level within the resolution-of-the-identity (RI) approximation, using the S22 set of noncovalent interactions and a series of electron affinities from the G3 set. Root-mean...

We present a derivation and efficient implementation of the formally complete analytic second derivatives for domain-based local pair natural orbital order Møller–Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) method, applicable to electric or magnetic field-response properties but not yet harmonic frequencies. also discuss occurrence avoidance numerical instability issues related singular linear equation s...

The use of appropriate level of theories for studying weak interactions such as 8-8 stackinginteractions of aromatic molecules has been an important aspect, since the high level methods havelimitations for application to large molecules. The differences in the stacking energies of variousaromatic molecular structures are found significant. It is also very important for identifying the mostfavor...

the armaticity of 5 methylcytosine tautomers in the gas phase has been studied and the chemical structures of related tautomers are investigated . the electronic energy, enthalpy and free energy of each tautomer are also estimated at the b3lyp/6-31 g* // b3lyp/6-31 g* and mp2 / 6-31 g* // mp2 / 6-31 g* levels

The solvation of alanine is investigated, with a focus on adding a sufficient number of discrete water molecules to determine the first solvation shell for both the nonionized (N) and zwitterionic (Z) forms to converge the enthalpy of solvation and the enthalpy difference for the two forms of alanine. Monte Carlo sampling was employed using the generalized effective fragment potential (EFP) met...
