Hi,

I would greatly appreciate if somebody can provide me with Charmm
parameters for Mg ions and GDP/GTP. Also please let me know if there are
any papers that used Mg ions or GDP/GTP in molecular dynamics
simulations.

Thank you,

 I think it is a mathematical problem, not a physical one.
 

 Being the BSSE a correction  done subtracting different energies and the
force field a second derivative of the energy, it should be OK to subtract
the different force fields to account for a force-field BSSE corrected. 
    Instead of compute a BSSE corrected energy for each configuration and
numerically compute the second derivatives of the potential energy surfaces,
we can compute numerically the second derivatives for each term and BSSE
correct those second derivatives. If the steps in the numeric procedure are
the same the results should be the same. 

    If we calculate analytically the derivatives, better.

Dear CCL netters,

could perhaps someone point me towards a critical review/paper,
in  which _experimentally_ derived relative energies for
organometallic isomers have been compared to results from B3LYP and BP86
DFT calculations?

Somehow, the literatur seems to indicate that the B3LYP rel. energies are
more accurate than those obtained with BP86 or BLYP functionals. But is
this really justified? - in particular since B3LYP is "parametrized" for
organic systems? What about results of groups that use exclusively pure
DFT programs, e.g. DMOL or ADF? Are there studies less reliable
(exaggerated) ???! 

Comments are also welcome.

Regards,

Peter

Subject: Summary: MPI on dual linux boxes
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=koi8-r
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Requested summary of responses on a posted
last week question on MPI+Linux clusters.

Two distributions are used: LAMMPI and MPICH.
The first seems to be more than a plain lib.
MPICH is, however, better supported on a
variety of platforms.

Original message.

You can find recent CHARMM parameters at the URL

Dear members:
I have a doubt about the Kohn-Sham implementation of DFT theory.
Provide we would have the "true" functional, we can in principle =
determine the "true" electronic density. But, it could be always =
represented as a single determinant of Kohn-Sham molecular orbitals?
Thanks in Advance

If you are interested in physical property and environmental
fate (e.g., biodegradability, atmospheric oxidation) QSARs, a good review
is

At the same time, you do not have to do restricted calculations. You
can do unrestricted UKS calculations even for singlets (why not?...).

The result may be spin contaminated (from autopsy, it usually is
when you have a multiconfigurational beast like a polyradical -- you have
to remember that you cannot start SCF with the same alpha and beta
charge densities, coefficients, etc., since there would be nothing
in the SCF method to kick you out from the local solution: F(alpha) = F(beta)).
The contaminated spin state is by definition a combination or pure parent and
higher spin states (all of them may be formally multideterminant).
Hence, the "pure" DFT function (state) derived from the unrestricted
calculations need not be a single determinant but can be a multideterminant.
While we do not necessarily know what is the form of these functions (states)
(though there is a way to find out, since formally the highest possible
multiplet is when all electrons are unpaired, which will be a single
determinant, and we can back substitute), we can guess that they are
multideterminant.

Hence, the pure spin parent function will be most likely also a combination
of determinants. And, while we are doing a single determinant DFT, and
do not count twice the correlation by introducing MCSCF, we actually
work on the multiconfigurational states.

And by the way, purists will tell you that KS orbitals are not MOs...
(I am joking here, I will not get involved in religious wars... I just
do not have the ammo... I am not a DFT guru, but it is a damn interesting
problem. I wish I knew this stuff better...).

Yes, any density can be represented as a single slater determinant
(this is actually very easy to be seen) -- however you need a
complete one-particle basis set to represent the orbitals.

The thing to keep in mind is that in general there is no single slater
determinant BUILT FROM ORBITALS EXPANDED IN A GIVEN BASIS SET, which
represents the density of, say, the full-CI wavefunction in the
same basis set.
