I 'm a student who begins to work on molecular modelling. I try to
calculate interactions between acetate and calcium ion. I use gaussian98
with a minimal basis set  STO-3G for calculation. Here, you 'll find the
input files that I 've used
I've obtained, for the energy, the following values :
                                          acetate HF= -224.048329 a.u.
                                          acetate-Ca2+ HF= -894.1014679
a.u.
It seems that values are very  important for the simple molecule.
Can I have your opinion on this results.
Thanks

High-energy collisions would certainly require a smaller time step at 
the
moment of the collision, but at this time the van der Waal's repulsion
term should far outweigh any electrostatics at this close range since
it climbs as (1/r)^14.

I have often thought an adaptive, but symplectic  integration
scheme would be very useful. This kind of thing also happens
when I do rigid body mechanics on whole proteins in solution.
When proteins are far away you can take large time steps.
I believe this is the basic idea behind the RESPA method
developed by B. Berne and coworkers.

Subject: point charges in Gaussian98
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Dear CCL experts!

Could you help me with thw following problem, please?
I need to calculate the excited states of a molecule (by TDDFT with
the use of Gaussian98) having high
symmetry using the geometry optimized beforehand. I want to place
point charges in such a way that the overall symmetry is conserved.

But when I indicate the coordinates of the point charges in cartesian
coordinates I break the symmetry somehow.

Is there a way to incorporate the point charges into Z-matrix?

Best regards,
Igor Avilov.

I feel obliged to comment that CHARMM most certainly *does* conserve
energy with NVE, and that is put the test frequently as new methods are
developed and added.  Normally, a 1 fs timestep is fine, and one can
even use a 2 fs timestep if bonds to hydrogen are constrained via SHAKE.
Most of the testing and usage is done with condensed phase systems,
mostly fluid.

I should note that systems with a small number of particles (e.g. less
than a few hundred water molecules) behave poorly and may appear not to
conserve energy because of large fluctuations in energy and forces.

There was a minor bug that led to non-conservation of energy for
extended system dynamics (NPT, NVT, etc.) in the initial CHARMM
implementation, but that has been fixed.  I am currently running some
NPT simulations with 2 fs timestep and SHAKE which conserve the total
system Hamiltonian quite nicely.  The system includes numerous
zwitterions with full formal +1 and -1 charges (phosphocholine lipids).

Allen & Tildesley discuss energy conservation in section 3.5, "Checks on
Accuracy"; it's the first topic mentioned.
