scaling laws to use in place of the case-by-case numerical integrations prescribed by traditional quantum chemistry The ONIUM hybrid method combines a quantum mechanical method with the molecular mechanical method One study includes placing functional constraints and testing the performance of the resulting constrained functionals for several chemical properties A review of the known approximations for the temperature integral is included Some of the other areas of research discussed include protein coarse-grain models, a specific application of spherical harmonics, use of the FERMO concept to better explain reactions that are HOMO driven, wavelet based approaches and high resolution methods with successful application to a fixed-bed adsorption column model There is a discussion of stability and thermodynamics, as well as kinetic properties of heterophosphetes and phosphole oxides A model is proposed that applies methods and concepts in mathematical morphology paradigms to solve the problem of offset curves as well as a description of the solvent effects through the in silico procedures by the use of continuum and discrete models A simulation method attempts to relate the microscopic details of a system to macroscopic properties of experimental interest Techniques to retain the use of simple potential functions are also discussed, but with the possibility of allowing them to readjust their properties to fit the potential energy curves of the more complex functions The Chapman-Cruzen mechanism is also studied using the ideas of the theory of dynamical systems Chapter reprises and extends the development of a new approach to fundamental problems in chemistry, now known as ‘Algebraic Chemistry’ It collects and summarizes all results so far produced Problems addressed here include 1) the nominal pattern of singleelectron state filling across all of the elements, 2) the exceptions to that pattern that occur for about 20% of elements; 3) the numerical patterns in the experimental data about ionization potentials of all elements and all orders, and 4) plausible reasons for the existence of chemical periodicity and 5) some insights on the possible nature of chemical bonds The approach develops synoptic algebraic scaling laws to use in place of the case-by-case numerical integrations prescribed by traditional Quantum Chemistry The development of Algebraic Chemistry requires an initial re-examination of two pillars of twentieth century physics: not just Quantum Mechanics (QM), but also Special Relativity Theory (SRT) The reader is asked to entertain an ‘Expanded SRT’, in which an additional ‘speed’ concept appears, and several additional mathematical relationships among speed concepts appear This Expanded SRT viii Charles T Collett and Christopher D Robson allows an ‘Expanded QM’, in which the main actors are not the modern, and very abstract, probability-amplitude waves, but the old-fashioned, and very concrete, point particles Although the hundred years elapsed since SRT and QM were first introduced may make this sort of re-work seem troublesome, the practical utility of the results produced makes the effort clearly worthwhile The ONIOM hybrid method, which combines a quantum mechanical (QM) method with the molecular mechanical (MM) method, is one of the powerful methods that allow to calculate large molecular systems with the high accuracy afforded for smaller molecular systems The notable feature of this method is that it can include the environmental effects into the high level QM calculation through a simple extrapolation procedure This is a significant difference from the conventional QM/MM methods The definition of the layer is simple, and also the layer is easily extended to the multiple-layers Contrary to this, the traditional QM/MM method that adopts the sophisticated link between the QM and MM regions makes the handling difficult The ONIOM method is thus more flexible and versatile than the conventional QM/MM method, and is therefore increasingly adopted as an efficient approach beneficial to many areas of chemistry Recently, the ONIOM-molecular dynamics (MD) method has been developed to analyze the more complicated large molecular system where the thermal fluctuations of the environment play an important role For example, when the target is a biomolecule, such as an enzyme, the property of the entire system is strongly affected by its dynamical behavior In such case, the ONIOM method is not satisfactory The coupling of the ONIOM method with the molecular dynamics (MD) method is necessary to account for the thermal fluctuations of the environment Newly developed ONIOM-MD method has made it possible to characterize the function of enzyme etc in a realistic simulation of the thermal motion, retaining the concept embodied in the ONIOM method In Chapter 2, the basic concept of the ONIOM and ONIOM-MD methods we developed and their applications to typical cases are introduced Several recent studies (J Phys Chem A 2004, 108, 5479; J Comput Chem 2007, 28, 2431) have shown impressive results when replacing the non-empirical PBE density functional by the empirical OPBE or OLYP functionals, i.e replacing the PBE exchange functional by Handy and Cohen’s OPTX functional To investigate the origin of the improvements, we have placed constraints from the non-empirical PBE exchange functional on the empirical OPTX exchange functional, and tested the performance of the resulting constrained functionals for several characteristic chemical properties.in Chapter 3, the performance of the new functionals is tested for a number of standard benchmark tests, such as the atomization energies of the G2 set, accuracy of geometries for small molecules, atomic exchange energies, and proton affinities of anionic and neutral molecules Furthermore, the new functionals are tested against a benchmark set of nucleophilic substitution SN2 reactions, for which we have recently compared DFT with high-level coupled cluster CCSD(T) data (J Comput Chem 2007, 28, 1551) Our study makes clear that the performance depends critically on the number of constraints, and on the reference data to which the constrained functionals are optimized For each of these properties studied, there is at least one functional that performs very well Although a new promising functional (MLffOLYP) emerged from the set of constrained functionals that approaches coupled-cluster accuracy for geometries and performs very well for the energy profile of SN2 reactions, there is no one of the newly constructed functionals that performs equally well for all properties Preface ix The temperature integral, which frequently occurs in the kinetic analysis of solid-state reactions, does not have an exact analytical solution Instead of performing the numerical integration, most of the researchers prefer to circumvent the problem by using approximate expressions The main aim of Chapter is to carry out a review of the known approximations for the temperature integral, to establish a ranking of those temperature integral approximations and to present some applications of the temperature integral approximations The design of protein coarse-grain (CG) models and their corresponding interaction potentials is an active field of research, especially for solving problems such as protein folding, docking… Among the essential parameters involved in CG potentials, electrostatic interactions are of crucial importance since they govern local and global properties, e.g., their stability, their flexibility… Following our development of an original approach to hierarchically decompose a protein structure into fragments from its electron density (ED) distribution, the method is applied in Chapter to molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) functions, calculated from point charges as implemented in well-known force fields (FF) To follow the pattern of local maxima (and minima) in an ED or a MEP distribution, as a function of the degree of smoothing, we adopted the following strategy First, each atom of a molecule is considered as a starting point (a peak, or a pit for negative potentials in a MEP analysis) As the smoothing degree increases, each point moves along a path to reach a location where the ED or MEP gradient value vanishes Convergences of trajectories lead to a reduction of the number of points, which can be associated with molecular fragments Practically, to determine the protein backbone representations, we analyzed CG models obtained for an extended strand of polyglycine The influence of the different amino acid side chains was then studied for different rotamers by substituting the central glycine residue Regarding the determination of charges, we adopted two procedures First, the net charge of a fragment was calculated as the summation over the charges of its constituting atoms Second, a fitting algorithm was used to assign charges to the obtained local maxima/minima Applications to a literature case, a 12-residue β-hairpin peptide, are also presented It is observed that classical CG models are more similar to ED-based models, while MEP-based descriptions lead to different CG motifs that better fit the MEP distributions A simulation method attempts to relate the microscopic details of a system (atomic masses, interactions between them, molecular geometry, etc.) to macroscopic properties of experimental interest (equation of state, structural parameters, etc.) The first step in performing a molecular simulation requires knowledge of the potential energy of interaction between the particles of the system, and one of the simplest methods used to obtain this treats the intermolecular energy as the sum of pairwise additive potentials (as in the force-field method) The model presented in Chapter does not consider the molecules as formed by rigid spherical particles (atoms or assemblies of atoms) but as continuum distributions of matter (without electrical charge), and this has two effects: it can be applied to many kinds of systems and extends the information on the system, relating a microscopic property (such as the interaction energy) with macroscopic properties (such as the structural parameters of the molecules) To simulate the interaction energy between β−cyclodextrin (β−CD) and molecules with different structure (cyclic, spherical and linear geometry), a model was constructed from a simple pairwise-additive Lennard-Jones potential combined with a continuum description of the cyclodextrin cavity and the guest molecule This model INDEX A absorption, 35, 39 accelerator, 2, 459, 460 access, 374 accessibility, 406 accidental, 41 accommodation, xi,
