Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, I developed theoretical methods using FMO-DFTB, a combination of the fragment molecular orbital (FMO) and density-functional tight-binding (DFTB) methods. The first-order derivative of the total energy was not previously analytic, so here I derived new equations and made the derivative fully analytic. In order to take solvent effects into account, I combined FMO-DFTB and the polarizable continuum model. It makes it possible to apply FMO-DFTB to proteins. In addition, an even more accurate calculation is now possible by including three body effects.
