A method to perform full quantum mechanical (ab initio) calculation of interaction energy involving a macromolecule like protein has recently been developed. This new scheme, named molecular fractionation with conjugate caps (MFCC), decomposes a protein molecule into amino acid-based fragments. These individual fragments are properly treated to preserve the chemical property of the bonds that are cut. Through proper combination of interaction energies between the molecule and individual fragments and their conjugate caps, the full protein-molecule interaction energy can be obtained to a high degree-of-accuracy by full ab initio calculations. Here we report a benchmark full ab initio calculation of interaction energy between a HIV-1 gp41 protein (with 982 atoms) and a water molecule at various geometries using HF (Hartree Fock), DFT (density functional theory) and MP2 (second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory) methods on a standard workstation.

<div>Understanding the nature of the interatomic interactions present within the pores of metal-organic frameworks</div><div>is critical in order to design and utilize advanced materials</div><div>with desirable applications. In ZIF-8 and its cobalt analogue</div><div>ZIF-67, the imidazolate methyl-groups, which point directly</div><div>into the void space, have been shown to freely rotate - even</div><div>down to cryogenic temperatures. Using a combination of ex-</div><div>perimental terahertz time-domain spectroscopy, low-frequency</div><div>Raman spectroscopy, and state-of-the-art ab initio simulations,</div><div>the methyl-rotor dynamics in ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 are fully charac-</div><div>terized within the context of a quantum-mechanical hindered-</div><div>rotor model. The results lend insight into the fundamental</div><div>origins of the experimentally observed methyl-rotor dynamics,</div><div>and provide valuable insight into the nature of the weak inter-</div><div>actions present within this important class of materials.</div>

This review focuses on a combination of ab initio molecular dynamics (aiMD) and NMR parameters calculations using quantum mechanical methods. The advantages of such an approach in comparison to the commonly applied computations for the structures optimized at 0 K are presented. This article was designed as a convenient overview of the applied parameters such as the aiMD type, DFT functional, time step, or total simulation time, as well as examples of previously studied systems. From the analysis of the published works describing the applications of such combinations, it was concluded that including fast, small-amplitude motions through aiMD has a noticeable effect on the accuracy of NMR parameters calculations.
