Nonempirical hybrid functionals for advanced electronic-structure calculations

Thomas Bischoff

Electronic-structure calculations based on hybrid functionals have emerged as a standard technique used in physics, chemistry, and material science. Despite this success, hybrid functionals have the drawback of containing undetermined parameters. To overc ...

Band gaps of liquid water and hexagonal ice through advanced electronic-structure calculations

Alfredo Pasquarello, Igor Reshetnyak, Thomas Bischoff

The fundamental band gaps of liquid water and hexagonal ice are calculated through advanced electronicstructure methods. We compare specifically the performance of state-of-the-art GW calculations with nonempirical hybrid functionals. For the latter, we fi ...

Self-consistent Hubbard parameters from density-functional perturbation theory in the ultrasoft and projector-augmented wave formulations

Nicola Marzari, Iurii Timrov, Matteo Cococcioni

The self-consistent evaluation of Hubbard parameters using linear-response theory is crucial for quantitatively predictive calculations based on Hubbard-corrected density-functional theory. Here, we extend a recently introduced approach based on density-fu ...

High-content, targeted RNA-seq screening in organoids for drug discovery in colorectal cancer

Jörg Hülsken, Maxim Norkin

Organoids allow the recapitulation of intestinal homeostasis and cancerogenesis in vitro; however, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq)-based methods for drug screens are missing. We develop targeted organoid sequencing (TORNADO-seq), a high-throughput, high-content d ...

Macrocycle synthesis strategy based on step-wise “adding and reacting” three components enables screening of large combinatorial libraries

Christian Heinis, Gerardo Turcatti, Alessandro Angelini, Alessandro Zorzi, Jonathan Patrice Vesin, Kaycie Marie Butler, Julien Bortoli Chapalay, Sangram Shivdas Kale, Ganesh Kumar Mothukuri, Carl Leonard Stenbratt

Macrocycles provide an attractive modality for drug development, but generating ligands for new targets is hampered by the limited availability of large macrocycle libraries. We have established a solution-phase macrocycle synthesis strategy in which three ...
