But for such a system (multiplicity=1), restricted and unrestricted calculations give the same results. 2) It completes very fast (27 SCF cycles) with b3lyp as said by Robert Molt. But with m06l, it takes long time (exceptionally long). Here, one SCF Done takes 129 cycles and the other ~30. And the calculations keeps on oscillating between these two values for quite long time. Moreover, for higher multiplicities, normally calculations are more time consuming. Now, I understand that for the above different situations, the initial guesses may be very different. But, how to check and confirm that the initial guess is not too far from the expected one so that the SCF calculations take less number of cycles as well as the calculation for such a small molecules completes successfully soon.

It is known that certain meta-GGAs (including M06-L) produce singularities for some electron densities, resulting in SCF convergence problems. See for example: Gr�fenstein, J., Izotov, D. & Cremer, D.

For example, if your X-ray structure is called X-ray.pdb and your optimized structure is called Opt.pdb, you could use the following commands in CPPTRAJ to perform a best-fit alignment and calculate RMSD for all CA atoms: parm X-ray.pdb reference X-ray.pdb trajin Opt.pdb rms ToRef reference ]_[CA out rmsd.dat trajout Aligned.pdb go The structure of Opt.pdb aligned on X-ray.pdb will be written to Aligned.pdb, and the RMSD will be written to 'rmsd.dat'. You can also calculate the per-residue RMSD if desired via the 'perres' keyword.

You can just open the two PDB files (menu: File Open) and then use the MatchMaker tool to superimpose them (menu: Tools Structure Comparison MatchMaker). The dialog has lots of options, but you can just leave them alone to try the defaults. Just choose one structure as the reference and the other as the structure to match, then click the OK button at the bottom. If you think the overlay could be improved, you can always try again with different MatchMaker settings, but usually the defaults work quite well. UCSF Chimera homepage (see download in quick links on left) http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/index.html MatchMaker description http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/matchmaker/matchmaker.html After the structure to match is overlaid on the other satisfactorily, you can save a new PDB file of that position, menu: File Save PDB. Choose the option to save it relative to the other, reference structure. Best, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.
