Computational and Theoretical Chemistry Virtual Summer Conference Series Computational and Theoretical Chemistry Virtual Summer Conference Series Germantown, Maryland Summer 2020 i FOREWORD Plans were already underway for the seventh annual CTC PI meeting scheduled for May 12-14, 2020 when it was canceled due to COVID-19. In response to the cancellation, a few PIs planted the seed of a virtual conference series as a viable alternative. Hence, here we are organizing the 2020 CTC Summer Conference Series. Using repurposed submitted abstracts originally for the PI meeting, we have organized a series of afternoon meetings scheduled to be held monthly over the summer of 2020. Despite the change in style, venue, format, and duration, we sincerely hope this virtual conference series will serve as a platform for collegial discussion and exchange of ideas among the various projects within the CTC program. It is our deep hope that seeds for future collaborations among research groups with mutually complementary expertise will grow from this virtual conference series. The 2020 CTC virtual summer conference series is sponsored by the Chemical Sciences, Geosciences and Biosciences Division of the Office of Basic Energy Sciences, U.S. Department of Energy, and includes invited speakers and participants from the core CTC program, Computational Chemical Science projects, Quantum Information Science Projects, Energy Frontier Research Centers, and SciDAC efforts. We thank all of the researchers whose dedication, innovation, and reviewing activities have enhanced the goals of Basic Energy Sciences and made this virtual meeting possible. We look forward to seeing this community build upon its successes and look forward to the next joint meeting. Special thanks to Sharwyn Fryer and Teresa Crockett from Office of Basic Energy Sciences and Connie Lansdon at Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education for their important contributions to the technical and logistical features of this meeting.

  • Real-Time Pymol Visualization for Rosetta and Pyrosetta
    Real-Time PyMOL Visualization for Rosetta and PyRosetta Evan H. Baugh1, Sergey Lyskov1, Brian D. Weitzner1, Jeffrey J. Gray1,2* 1 Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, United States of America, 2 Program in Molecular Biophysics, The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, United States of America Abstract Computational structure prediction and design of proteins and protein-protein complexes have long been inaccessible to those not directly involved in the field. A key missing component has been the ability to visualize the progress of calculations to better understand them. Rosetta is one simulation suite that would benefit from a robust real-time visualization solution. Several tools exist for the sole purpose of visualizing biomolecules; one of the most popular tools, PyMOL (Schro¨dinger), is a powerful, highly extensible, user friendly, and attractive package. Integrating Rosetta and PyMOL directly has many technical and logistical obstacles inhibiting usage. To circumvent these issues, we developed a novel solution based on transmitting biomolecular structure and energy information via UDP sockets. Rosetta and PyMOL run as separate processes, thereby avoiding many technical obstacles while visualizing information on-demand in real-time. When Rosetta detects changes in the structure of a protein, new coordinates are sent over a UDP network socket to a PyMOL instance running a UDP socket listener. PyMOL then interprets and displays the molecule. This implementation also allows remote execution of Rosetta. When combined with PyRosetta, this visualization solution provides an interactive environment for protein structure prediction and design.

  • Solar Energy Harvesting with Carbon Nitrides: Do We Understand The
    Solar energy harvesting with carbon nitrides: Do we understand the mechanism? Wolfgang Domcke1, Johannes Ehrmaier1 and Andrzej L. Sobolewski2 1 Department of Chemistry, Technical University of Munich, D-85747 Garching, Germany 2 Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, 02-668 Warsaw, Poland Email: [email protected] (Wolfgang Domcke) Abstract The photocatalytic splitting of water into molecular hydrogen and molecular oxygen with sunlight is the dream reaction for solar energy conversion. Since decades, transition-metal- oxide semiconductors and supramolecular organometallic structures have been extensively explored as photocatalysts for solar water splitting. More recently, polymeric carbon nitride materials consisting of triazine or heptazine building blocks have attracted considerable attention as hydrogen-evolution photocatalysts. The mechanism of hydrogen evolution with polymeric carbon nitrides is discussed throughout the current literature in terms of the familiar concepts developed for photoelectrochemical water splitting with semiconductors since the 1970s. We discuss in this perspective an alternative mechanistic paradigm for photoinduced water splitting with carbon nitrides, which focusses on the specific features of the photochemistry of aromatic N-heterocycles in aqueous environments. It is shown that a water molecule which is hydrogen-bonded to an N-heterocycle can be decomposed into hydrogen and hydroxyl radicals by two simple sequential photochemical reactions. This concept is illustrated by first-principles calculations of excited-state reaction paths and their energy profiles for hydrogen-bonded complexes of pyridine, triazine and heptazine with a water molecule. It is shown that the excited-state hydrogen-transfer and hydrogen-detachment reactions are essentially barrierless, in sharp contrast to water oxidation in the electronic ground state, where high barriers prevail.

Almost all systems in nature involve an extremely large number of degrees of freedom. A droplet of water contains of the order of 1026 molecules and while each water molecule can in many applications be described as a point particle, each molecule has itself a complicated structure which reveals itself at molecular length scales. To deal with this large number of degrees of freedom, which for all practical purposes is infinite, we often regard a system as continuous, in spite of the fact that, at certain distance scales, it is discrete.

  • An Explicit-Solvent Conformation Search Method Using Open Software
    An explicit-solvent conformation search method using open software Kari Gaalswyk and Christopher N. Rowley Department of Chemistry, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada ABSTRACT Computer modeling is a popular tool to identify the most-probable conformers of a molecule. Although the solvent can have a large effect on the stability of a conformation, many popular conformational search methods are only capable of describing molecules in the gas phase or with an implicit solvent model. We have developed a work-flow for performing a conformation search on explicitly-solvated molecules using open source software. This method uses replica exchange molecular dynamics (REMD) to sample the conformational states of the molecule efficiently. Cluster analysis is used to identify the most probable conformations from the simulated trajectory. This work-flow was tested on drug molecules a-amanitin and cabergoline to illustrate its capabilities and effectiveness. The preferred conformations of these molecules in gas phase, implicit solvent, and explicit solvent are significantly different. Subjects Biophysics, Pharmacology, Computational Science Keywords Conformation search, Explicit solvent, Cluster analysis, Replica exchange molecular dynamics INTRODUCTION Many molecules can exist in multiple conformational isomers. Conformational isomers have the same chemical bonds, but differ in their 3D geometry because they hold different torsional angles (Crippen & Havel, 1988). The conformation of a molecule can affect Submitted 5 April 2016 chemical reactivity, molecular binding, and biological activity (Struthers, Rivier & Accepted 6May2016 Published 31 May 2016 Hagler, 1985; Copeland, 2011).

    PART I METHODS COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL CHAPTER 1 Overview of Thermochemistry and Its Application to Reaction Kinetics ELKE GOOS Institute of Combustion Technology, German Aerospace Center (DLR), Stuttgart, Germany ALEXANDER BURCAT Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel 1.1 HISTORY OF THERMOCHEMISTRY Thermochemistry deals with energy and enthalpy changes accompanying chemical reactions and phase transformations and gives a first estimate of whether a given reaction can occur. To our knowledge, the field of thermochemistry started with the experiments done by Malhard and Le Chatelier [1] with gunpowder and explosives. The first of their two papers of 1883 starts with the sentence: “All combustion is accompanied by the release of heat that increases the temperature of the burned bodies.” In 1897, Berthelot [2], who also experimented with explosives, published his two-volume monograph Thermochimie in which he summed up 40 years of calori- metric studies. The first textbook, to our knowledge, that clearly explained the principles of thermochemical properties was authored by Lewis and Randall [3] in 1923. Thermochemical data, actually heats of formation, were gathered, evaluated, and published for the first time in the seven-volume book International Critical Tables of Numerical Data, Physics, Chemistry and Technology [4] during 1926–1930 (and the additional index in 1933). In 1932, the American Chemical Society (ACS) monograph No. 60 The Free Energy of Some Organic Compounds [5] appeared.
