Hello,

1) I didn�t yet find, how to specify in Gaussian individual basis sets for individual atoms in molecule (not for atom types).
Usually, in the Gaussian samples, when the GEN keyword is used for typing the basis set, below the atomic coordinates the basis sets for each atom type in molecule are typed, e.g.:

#P CCSD/Gen Scan Test scf=(nosymm,xqc) geom=nocrowd

As far as I know, hydrogen bonds require diffuse functions. How can I create an input file with this molecule, where most atoms have the 6-311G(D,P) basis set, and atoms 20,40, 27, 42, 25, etc (involved in H-bonds) have the 6-311++G(D,P) basis set?

2) A close question � can a Gaussian user type # GEN and specify the built-in basis sets below the atomic coordinates, not the full basis set description (with exponents/contraction coefficients)? I mean, that for my bilirubin molecule I don�t need the non-standard basis set, I just need 6-311G(D,P) on most atoms and 6-311++G(D,P) on some.

3) And a general question � is such approach (mixed, non-balanced basis set) correct? Maybe, some errors like BSSE may arise if I use such mixed basis sets? Maybe if I have a conjugated system and I specify stronger basis set on some its part, the electronic density will �spill over� into this part so the computation becomes incorrect?

CALL FOR PAPERS Upcoming ACS Meeting Computers in Chemistry" , San Diego, California, March 
13-17, 2016
DEADLINE ABSTRACT SUBMISSION: October 5th, 2015
*******************************************************************************************************
**************************************************************************

It is a great pleasure to announce the 251st ACS National Meeting & Exposition Theme : "Computers 
in Chemistry", which will take place in San Diego in March 13-17, 2016.

On behalf of the CINF Programming Committee for ACS Meeting, I encourage you to submit your 
abstracts to our CINF symposia,  especially the symposium which I am organizing:

"Towards the integration of Quantitative and Systems Pharmacology into drug discovery: a systems 
level understanding of therapeutic and toxic effects of drugs", cosponsored by MEDI and TOXI ACS 
divisions
http://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/meetings/abstract-submissions/acsnm251/division-of-
chemical-information.html

Brief description of the symposium:
Over the past three decades, the predominant paradigm in drug discovery was designing selective 
ligands for a specific target to avoid unwanted side effects. However, in the last 5 years, the aim has 
shifted to take into account the biological network in which they interact. Quantitative and Systems 
Pharmacology (QSP) is a new paradigm that aims to understand how drugs modulate cellular networks 
in space and time, in order to predict drug targets and their role in human pathophysiology.
The goal of this symposium is to go trough the current computational and experimental QSP 
approaches such as polypharmacology techniques combined with systems biology information and 
consider the use of new tools and ideas in a wider 'systems-level' context in order to design new 
drugs with improved efficacy and fewer unwanted off-target effects.

Abstracts may be submitted via the ACS online Program & Abstract Creation System (PACS) at: 
https://acsmaps.abstractcentral.com/members/client/acs.jsp. You do not have to be an ACS member 
to create an account for PACS (although if you have a login for the ACS site, you can use that). PACS is 
open for abstract submissions and it will close to authors on October 5th 2016 for CINF Division. You 
can learn more about American Chemical Society Meetings by visiting the website 
http://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/meetings.html

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you and 
hope you can join us in San Diego in March 2016!

Hello, 

I have a general question and I would like to know your thought in a 
details way. I am looking to find a way to optimize the geometry of 
peptides with different sizes. I don't have a supercomputer so I need a 
simple, rather accurate way to do it (i know this is the dream of having 
such software, I mean with a good accuracy) however, the speed is very 
important for me because with hyperchem it takes like forever.

So, I need a way to find the best conformer of a peptide and then optimize 
it geometry. 

Any suggestion is welcome 
Best Regards,
Mohammad

Dear Grigoriy,


If I am not mistaken I think you can assign basis sets to individual atoms by referring to their specific numbering from the molecule specification list,
Instead of specifying the atom type one would specify 

20,40,27,42,25   0
6-311++G(D,P)
****
 
and so forth. I think you can specify ranges of numbers as well (xx-yy), which should save you some time. There is one example on the Gaussian webpage for the Gen keyword, which can be easily missed, which shows how to place a diffuse function on one specific centre. Regarding you second question, yes, you can use the generic description of the basis set, as long as the it is stored internally and recognised by Gaussian (check the webpage). Gaussian is able to handle both formats (explicit with exponents and coefficients, and shorthand notation). 

Using such a  split basis approach is quite common. In your case, augmenting your basis set by diffuse functions on selected atoms involved in hydrogen bonding should not alter the overall electronic structure of the full molecule notably. After all you are still using basis sets of same triple-zeta quality on all atoms.

Best

Tobias

1) I didn�t yet find, how to specify in Gaussian individual basis sets for individual atoms in molecule (not for atom types).
Usually, in the Gaussian samples, when the GEN keyword is used for typing the basis set, below the atomic coordinates the basis sets for each atom type in molecule are typed, e.g.:

#P CCSD/Gen Scan Test scf=(nosymm,xqc) geom=nocrowd

As far as I know, hydrogen bonds require diffuse functions. How can I create an input file with this molecule, where most atoms have the 6-311G(D,P) basis set, and atoms 20,40, 27, 42, 25, etc (involved in H-bonds) have the 6-311++G(D,P) basis set?

2) A close question � can a Gaussian user type # GEN and specify the built-in basis sets below the atomic coordinates, not the full basis set description (with exponents/contraction coefficients)? I mean, that for my bilirubin molecule I don�t need the non-standard basis set, I just need 6-311G(D,P) on most atoms and 6-311++G(D,P) on some.

3) And a general question � is such approach (mixed, non-balanced basis set) correct? Maybe, some errors like BSSE may arise if I use such mixed basis sets? Maybe if I have a conjugated system and I specify stronger basis set on some its part, the electronic density will �spill over� into this part so the computation becomes incorrect?http://www.ccl.net/cgi-bin/ccl/send_ccl_messagehttp://www.ccl.net/chemistry/sub_unsub.shtmlhttp://www.ccl.net/spammers.txt-----

Mohammed,

An free code that can be very efficient is ORCA.  It runs parallel on both
Windows and Linux machines with the appropriate hardware.  It also can run
efficiently on a single core machine.  It can handle many types of basis
sets, with many being built in.

Hope this helps.

John

Hi,

I use Zindo or CIS or TD to obtain all transition dipole moments, i.e.
ground to excited states and excited to excited states. I used
AllTransitionDensities Keyword in Gaussian09: #P Zindo(NStates
50,AllTransitionDensities)
SCF=QC

I noticed that in the gaussian output file, all transition dipole moments
> from the ground state to excited states are reported. Also, the
off-diagonal terms of the transition dipole moments from excited to excited
states are reported. Interestingly, I have not yet found the diagonal terms
of the transition dipole moments from the excited to excited states. I was
hoping IOp (IOp(6/22), etc.) would help but I have not yet found the
solution to get the 50 diagonal transition dipole moment terms. Any
suggestions about what to try next?

Thanks,
Hadi

Hi Mohammad,

I agree with John that ORCA would be good a solution for you. It is free for academics and very efficient.

As computing time and resources seem to be the issue, you may need to choose an economically feasible level of theory. In particular, you are probably thinking about using a DFT approximation with a small basis set.

I have a few comments on that:
When treating peptide conformations with a DFT approximation, you will definitely need to include a London-dispersion correction; London dispersion does not only affect relative energies between conformers, but also their structural properties. By choosing a small basis set, you may speed up the calculation, however, you introduce an artificial overstabilisation of intramolecular noncovalent interactions due to the basis-set superposition error (BSSE). For both problems, computationally efficient remedies exist: Grimmes DFT-D3(BJ) dispersion and gCP BSSE corrections. Both corrections are implemented in ORCA.

Besides BSSE, small basis sets also induce other basis-set incompleteness errors, which is why in the end you will have to rely on some error cancellation between your chosen method and basis set.
About two years ago, it was studied which cheap levels of theories were efficient and reasonably accurate for peptide optimisation.

J. Chem. Theory Comput 2013, 9, 3240, http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ct400321m

Here is a short summary: 
1) If you can afford a triple-zeta basis set, then Truhlars PW6B95 is recommended (with a dispersion correction, but without BSSE correction): PW6B95-D3/(aug-)cc-pVTZ or PW6B95-D3/def2-TZVP.

2) If you have to go down to a double-zeta basis set, then you need a BSSE correction and PW6B95-D3-gCP/6-31G(d) or PW6B95-D3-gCP/SVP were recommended.

3) It turned out that dispersion- and BSSE-corrected Hartree-Fock theory also does a very good job with a double-zeta basis set without polarisation functions: HF-D3-gCP/SV. The only exception was to use SVP instead of SV for sulfur atoms.

The finding that HF-D3-gCP/SV is a good alternative to DFT approximations was later confirmed for an optimisation of a large protein fragment. In fact, HF caused less convergence and other technical problems than DFT approximations:
J. Phys. Chem. B 2014, 118, 14612, http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jp510148h.


Finally, it is also worth to have a look at Grimmes new PBEh-3c method, which also provides very good peptide structures at a very small computational cost:

J. Chem. Phys. 2015, 143, 054107, http://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/journal/jcp/143/5/10.1063/1.4927476.


I hope this helped.

Cheers,
Lars

Mohammed,

An free code that can be very efficient is ORCA.  It runs parallel on both Windows and Linux machines with the appropriate hardware.  It also can run efficiently on a single core machine.  It can handle many types of basis sets, with many being built in.

Hope this helps.

John

Hello,

I have a general question and I would like to know your thought in a
details way. I am looking to find a way to optimize the geometry of
peptides with different sizes. I don't have a supercomputer so I need a
simple, rather accurate way to do it (i know this is the dream of having
such software, I mean with a good accuracy) however, the speed is very
important for me because with hyperchem it takes like forever.

So, I need a way to find the best conformer of a peptide and then optimize
it geometry.

Any suggestion is welcome
