Quasiparticle virtual orbitals in electron propagator calculations 

Flores-Moreno, Roberto; Ortiz, J.V. (2021-01-26)
The computational limits of accurate electron propagator methods for the calculation of electron binding energies of large molecules are usually determined by the rank of the virtual orbital space. Electron density ...

A Remodeled Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) Generates Symmetric Dimethylarginine 

Gui, Shanying; Gathiaka, Symon; Li, Jun; Qu, Jun; Acevedo, Orlando; Hevel, Joan M. (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 ...

Second-order, two-electron Dyson propagator theory: Comparisons for vertical double ionization potentials 

Ida, T.; Ortiz, J.V. (2021-01-26)
The second-order, two-electron Dyson propagator is derived using superoperator theory with a spin-adapted formulation. To include certain ladder diagrams to all orders, the shifted-denominator SD2 approximation is made. ...

Sequential addition of H2O, CH3OH, and NH3 to Al3O3-: A theoretical study 

Guevara-Garcia, Alfredo; Martinez, Ana; Ortiz, J.V. (2021-01-26)
Photoelectron spectra of two species, Al3O3(H2O)(2)(-) and Al3O3(CH3OH)(2)(-), that are produced by the addition of two water or methanol molecules to Al3O3- are interpreted with density-functional geometry optimizations ...

Spin splittings from first-order symmetry-adapted perturbation theory without single-exchange approximation 

Waldrop, Jonathan; Patkowski, Konrad; 0000-0003-0442-193X; 0000-0002-4468-207X (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 ...

Subunit D of RNA Polymerase from Methanosarcina acetivorans Contains Two Oxygen-labile [4Fe-4S] Clusters IMPLICATIONS FOR OXIDANT-DEPENDENT REGULATION OF TRANSCRIPTION 

Lessner, Faith H.; Jennings, Matthew E.; Hirata, Akira; Duin, Eduardus C.; Lessner, Daniel J. (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 ...

Surface Green’s function calculations: A nonrecursive scheme with an infinite number of principal layers 

Kletsov, Aleksey; Dahnovsky, Yuri; Ortiz, J.V. (2021-01-26)
A novel computational method for a surface Green’s function matrix is introduced for the calculation of electrical current in molecular wires. The proposed nonrecursive approach includes an infinite number of principal ...

Two-photon imaging of Zn2+ dynamics in mossy fiber boutons of adult hippocampal slices 

Khan, Mustafa; Goldsmith, Christian R.; Huang, Zhen; Georgiou, John; Luyben, Thomas T.; Roder, John C.; Lippard, Stephen J.; Okamoto, Kenichi (2020-01-16)
Mossy fiber termini in the hippocampus accumulate Zn2+, which is released with glutamate from synaptic vesicles upon neural excitation. Understanding the spatiotemporal regulation of mobile Zn2+ at the synaptic level is ...

Valence and diffuse-bound anions of noble-gas complexes with uracil 

Streit, Livia; Dolgounitcheva, O.; Zakrzewski, V. G.; Ortiz, J. V.; Ortiz, Joseph Vincent (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 ...
