Title
Energy gradients in combined fragment molecular orbital and polarizable continuum model (FMO/PCM) calculation.
Abstract
The analytic energy gradients for the combined fragment molecular orbital and polarizable continuum model (FMO/PCM) method are derived and implemented. Applications of FMO/PCM geometry optimization to polyalanine show that the structures obtained with the FMO/PCM method are very close to those obtained with the corresponding full ab initio PCM methods. FMO/PCM (RHF/6-31G* level) is used to optimize the solution structure of the 304-atom Trp-cage miniprotein and the result is in agreement with NMR experiments. The key factors determining the relative stability of the alpha-helix, beta-turn and the extended form in solution are elucidated for polyalanine. (C) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
