Density-optimized radial exponents for X-ray charge-density refinement from ab initio crystal calculations

Acta Crystallographica. Section A, Foundations of Crystallography
A VolkovP Coppens

Abstract

Structure factors based on periodic density-functional (DFT) calculations on 25 molecular crystals have been used to evaluate trends in refined values of the kappa and kappa' expansion-contraction parameters of the Hansen-Coppens multipole formalism. As found previously and expected physically, the spherical-valence-shell kappa parameters are closely related to the net atomic charges, negative atoms being expanded and vice versa. kappa' parameters, which scale the radial dependence of the non-spherical deformation functions, are remarkably consistent for particular bonding environments. Systematic trends are observed for both carbon and oxygen, but the values obtained for nitrogen show a larger variation. Average values for oxygen and carbon in different bonding environments are tabulated and can be used whenever refinement of experimental data is affected by lack of uniqueness of the charge-density parameter set. Values for nitrogen must be more finely tuned to the specific bonding environment. The relation between atomic charge and kappa offers the possibility of introducing a constraint in the charge-density refinement of very large molecules, for which reduction of the size of the parameter set may be essential.

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.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
