Abstract

Equation of motion excitation energy coupled-cluster (EOMEE-CC) methods including perturbative triple excitations have been used to set benchmark results for the excitation energy and oscillator strength of the building units of DNA, i.e., cytosine, guanine, adenine and thymine. In all cases the lowest twelve transitions have been considered including valence and Rydberg ones. Triple-ζ basis sets with diffuse functions have been used and the results are compared to CC2, CASPT2, TDDFT, and DFT/MRCI results from the literature. The results clearly show that it is only the EOMEE-CCSD(T) that is capable of providing accuracy of about 0.1 eV. EOMEE-CCSD systematically overshoots the energy of all types of transitions by 0.1-0.3 eV, whereas CC2 is surprisingly accurate for ππ* transitions but fails (often badly) for nπ* and Rydberg transitions. DFT and CASPT2 seem to give reliable results for the lowest transition, but the error increases fast with the excitation level. The differences in the excitation energies often change the energy ordering of the states, which should even influence the conclusions of excited state dynamics obtained with these approximate methods. The results call for further benchmark calculations on larger buil...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.
