We combine a regularized variant of the strongly constrained and appropriately normed semilocal density functional [J. Sun, A. Ruzsinszky, J. P. Perdew, Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 036402 (2015)] with latest generation semi-classical London dispersion correction. The resulting approximation r2SCAN-D4 has speed generalized gradient approximations while approaching accuracy hybrid functionals for general chemical applications. demonstrate its numerical robustness in real-life settings benchmark...
A new approach for the modeling of molecules in micellar systems and especially biomembranes, COSMOmic, is presented, its performance validated on example partitioning between water biological membranes. Starting from quantum chemical calculations surfactant, solvent, solute molecules, being based COSMO-RS method fluid-phase thermodynamic properties, COSMOmic essentially free additional adjustable parameters. The inclusion an elastic energy correction into model did not turn out to yield any...
The partition coefficient of chemicals from water to phospholipid membrane, K(lipw), is central importance for various fields. For neutral organic molecules, log K(lipw) correlates with the bulk solvent-water coefficients such as octanol-water coefficient. However, this not case charged compounds, which a mechanistic modeling approach highly necessary. In work, we extend model COSMOmic, adapts COSMO-RS theory anisotropic phases and has been shown reliably predict use ionic compounds. To make...
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed on the nitrogenase cofactor, FeMoco. Issues that addressed concern nature of M−M interactions and identity origin central light atom, revealed in a recent crystallographic study FeMo protein (Einsle, O.; et al. Science 2002, 297, 871). Introduction Se place S atoms cofactor energy minimization results an optimized structure very similar to native enzyme. The nearly identical, short, lengths Fe−Fe distances analogues are...
We present a new and entirely mechanistic COSMOperm method to predict passive membrane permeabilities for neutral compounds, as well anions cations. The approach is based on compound-specific free energy profiles within of interest from COSMO-RS (conductor-like screening model realistic solvation) calculations. These are combined with layer-specific diffusion coefficients, example, in the water phase, polar head groups, alkyl tails biochemical phospholipid bilayers. utilizes first-principle...
We present a cluster-based approach to model charge transport through molecular and atomic contacts. The electronic structure of the contacts is determined in framework density functional theory, parameters needed describe are extracted from finite clusters. A similar procedure, restricted nearest-neighbor interactions electrodes, has been presented by Damle et al (2002 Chem. Phys. 281 171). Here, we show how systematically improve description electrodes extracting bulk sufficiently large...
During the past 20 years, efficient combination of quantum chemical calculations with statistical thermodynamics by COSMO-RS method has become an important alternative to force-field based simulations for accurate prediction free energies molecules in liquid systems. While it was originally restricted homogeneous liquids, later been extended energy inhomogeneous systems such as micelles, biomembranes, or interfaces, but these were on external input about structure system. Here we report...

Chemical shift (δ) line width (Δν1/2) measurements made using a laboratory probe head experiments at elevated temperatures up to 650 °C. In case of NbCl5-(LiCl/KCl)eut, where salt mixture was not opaque, also Raman spectra could be recorded. For pure NbCl5 monomer–dimer equilibrium investigated. temperature range 200 °C ca. 500 from dependence both δ Δν1/2 constant standard entropy...
