Interpretation of the photoelectron spectra of superalkali species: Li3O and Li3O-
(2020-10-02)
The present paper deals with the interpretation of the photoelectron spectrum of the Li3O-. After several failed attempts to attribute all of the observed peaks in the experimental spectrum to anionic species, neutral ...
Interpretation of the photoelectron spectra of superalkali species: Na3O and Na3O-
(2020-08-20)
Recently measured photoelectron spectra of the Na3O- anion have been interpreted with the aid of ab initio electron propagator calculations. As in the case of the Li3O-, we propose that the photoionization of ground and ...
On the accuracy of explicitly correlated coupled-cluster interaction energies - have orbital results been beaten yet?
(2020-08-20)
The basis set convergence of weak interaction energies for dimers of noble gases helium through
krypton is studied for six variants of the explicitly correlated, frozen geminal coupled-cluster singles, doubles, and ...
Valence and diffuse-bound anions of noble-gas complexes with uracil
(2020-08-20)
Valence-bound (VB) and diffuse-bound (DB) anions of noble-gas (Ar, Kr, and Xe) complexes with
uracil have been studied with ab initio methods. MP2 optimizations revealed minima corresponding
to anions of both kinds in ...
Subunit D of RNA Polymerase from Methanosarcina acetivorans Contains Two Oxygen-labile [4Fe-4S] Clusters IMPLICATIONS FOR OXIDANT-DEPENDENT REGULATION OF TRANSCRIPTION
(2020-08-20)
Subunit D of multisubunit RNA polymerase from many species of archaea is predicted to bind one to two iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters, the function of which is unknown. A survey of encoded subunit D in the genomes of sequenced ...
Eukaryotic N-Glycosylation Occurs via the Membrane-anchored C-terminal Domain of the Stt3p Subunit of Oligosaccharyltransferase
(2020-07-24)
N-Glycosylation is an essential and highly conserved protein
modification. In eukaryotes, it is catalyzed by a multisubunit
membrane-associated enzyme, oligosaccharyltransferase (OT).
We report the high resolution ...
A Remodeled Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) Generates Symmetric Dimethylarginine
(2020-07-24)
Protein arginine methylation is emerging as a significant post-translational modification involved in various cell processes and human diseases. As the major arginine methylation enzyme, protein arginine methyltransferase ...
Accurate virial coefficients of gaseous krypton from state-of-the-art ab initio potential and polarizability of the krypton dimer
(2020-06-25)
We have developed a new krypton-krypton interaction-induced isotropic dipole polarizability curve based on high-level ab initio methods. The determination was carried out using the coupled-cluster singles and doubles plus ...
First-order symmetry-adapted perturbation theory for multiplet splittings
(2020-06-25)
We present a symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) for the interaction of two high-spin open-shell molecules (described by their restricted open-shell Hartree-Fock determinants) resulting in low-spin states of the ...
Communication: Water activation and splitting by single metal-atom anions
(2020-06-25)
We report experimental and computational results pertaining to the activation and splitting of single water molecules by single atomic platinum anions. The anion photoelectron spectra of [Pt(H2O)](-), formed under different ...
Dependence of the multipole moments, static polarizabilities, and static hyperpolarizabilities of the hydrogen molecule on the H-H separation in the ground singlet state
(2020-06-25)
In this work, we provide values for the quadrupole moment Theta, the hexadecapole moment Phi, the dipole polarizability alpha, the quadrupole polarizability C, the dipole-octopole polarizability E, the second dipole ...
Spin splittings from first-order symmetry-adapted perturbation theory without single-exchange approximation
(2020-05-20)
The recently proposed spin-flip symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SF-SAPT) first-order exchange energy [Patkowski et al., J. Chem. Phys. 148, 164110 (2018)] enables the standard open-shell SAPT approach to treat arbitrary ...
Cluster perturbation theory. IV. Convergence of cluster perturbation series for energies and molecular properties
(2020-05-20)
The theoretical foundation has been developed for establishing whether cluster perturbation (CP) series for the energy, molecular properties, and excitation energies are convergent or divergent and for using a two-state ...
Cluster perturbation theory. I. Theoretical foundation for a coupled cluster target state and ground-state energies
(2020-05-20)
We introduce a new class of perturbation models-the cluster perturbation (CP) models-where the major drawbacks of Moller-Plesset perturbation theory and coupled cluster perturbation theory have been eliminated. In CP theory, ...
Cluster perturbation theory. V. Theoretical foundation for cluster linear target states
(2020-05-20)
Cluster perturbation (CP) theory was developed in Paper I [F. Pawlowski et al., J. Chem. Phys. 150, 134108 (2019)] for a coupled cluster (CC) target state and is extended in this paper to comprehend a cluster linear (CL) ...
