We perform quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics molecular dynamics simulations on the Pt-2(P2O5H2)(4) (abbreviated PtPOP) complex; in water, dimethylformamide and ethanol. These are used to calculate the ground state X-ray absorption spectrum of the ...

Low-dimensional hybrid perovskites have emerged as promising materials for optoelectronic applications. Although these materials have already demonstrated enhanced stability as compared to their three-dimensional perovskite analogues, their functionality h ...

Recently, we have proposed a scheme for the calculation of nonadiabatic couplings and nonadiabatic coupling vectors within linear response time-dependent density functional theory using a set of auxiliary many-electron wavefunctions [ I. Tavernelli, E. Tap ...

Duocarmycins are a potent class of antitumor agents. Their activity arises by their covalent binding to adenine nucleobases of DNA. We use classical mol. dynamics and hybrid (QM/MM) Car-Parrinello mol. dynamics simulations to study non-covalent and covalen ...

The defects present in metal halide perovskite are deleterious to both the performance and stability of photovoltaic devices. Consequently, there is an intense focus on developing defect mitigation strategies. Herein we report a facile strategy that employ ...

Many transition metal complexes have unique physicochemical properties that can be efficiently exploited in medicinal chemistry for cancer treatment. Traditionally, double-stranded DNA has been assumed to be the main binding target; however, recent studies ...

The amino acid serine has long been known to form a protonated “magic-number” cluster containing eight monomer units that shows an unusually high abundance in mass spectra and has a remarkable homochiral preference. Despite many experimental and theoretica ...

MiMiC is a flexible and efficient framework for multiscale simulations in which different subsystems are treated by individual client programs. In this work, we present a new interface with OpenMM to be used as an MM client program and we demonstrate its e ...

In plane wave based electronic structure calcns. the interaction of core and valence electrons is usually represented by at. effective core potentials. They are constructed in such a way that the shape of the at. valence orbitals outside a certain core rad ...

The vital contribution of Mg2+ ions to RNA biology is challenging to dissect at the experimental level. This calls for the integrative support of atomistic simulations, which at the classical level are plagued by limited accuracy. Indeed, force fields intr ...

We present an interface of the wavefunction-based quantum chemical software CFOUR to the multiscale modeling framework MiMiC. Electrostatic embedding of the quantum mechanical (QM) part is achieved by analytic evaluation of one-electron integrals in CFOUR, ...

A multiple time step (MTS) algorithm for trajectory surface hopping molecular dynamics has been developed, implemented, and tested. The MTS scheme is an extension of the ab initio implementation for Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics presented in the work ...

Schistosomiasis is a disease of poverty affecting millions of people. Praziquantel (PZQ), with its strengths and weaknesses, is the only treatment available. We previously reported findings on three lead compounds derived from oxamniquine (OXA), an old ant ...

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we show that the prion protein (PrP) exhibits a dual behavior, with two possible transition routes, upon protonation of H187 around pH 4.5, which mimics specific conditions encountered in endosomes. Our results suggest ...

Many G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are known to form dimers or even oligomers, and these aggregated states have been proposed as functional units responsible for signal transduction and G protein activation. However, the nature of their involvement h ...

We present a combined experimental and computational study of the relaxation dynamics of the ethylene cation. In the experiment, we apply an extreme-ultraviolet-pump/infrared-probe scheme that permits us to resolve time scales on the order of 10 fs. The ph ...

We present a detailed study of the excited state properties of 5-benzyluracil (5BU) in the gas phase and in implicit solvent using different electronic structure approaches ranging from time-dependent density functional theory in the linear response regime ...

We present a model Hamiltonian to study the nonadiabatic dynamics of photoexcited Cu(dmp)(2), (dmp = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline). The relevant normal modes, identified by the magnitude of the first order coupling constants, correspond closely to ...

Exploitation of drug-drug synergism and allostery could yield superior therapies by capitalizing on the immensely diverse, but highly specific, potential associated with the biological macromolecular landscape. Here we describe a drug-drug synergy mediated ...
