Performance of the DFT-D method, paired with the PCM implicit solvation model, for the computation of interaction energies of solvated complexes of biological interest
Literature Information
In this work we investigate the performance of the DFT method, augmented with an empirical dispersion function (DFT-D), paired with the PCM implicit solvation model, for the computation of noncovalent interaction energies of biologically-relevant, solvated model complexes. It is found that this method describes intermolecular interactions within water and ether (protein-like) environments with roughly the same accuracy as in the gas phase. Another important finding is that, when environmental effects are taken into account, the empirical dispersion term associated with the DFT-D method need be modified very little (or not at all), in order to obtain the optimum, most well balanced, performance.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
