KLD: a program to elucidate the localization of the Fermi and Coulomb holes in molecular systems
Context
The electron localization is a concept that allows scientists to better understand the physical and chemical properties of electronic systems. It is associated with the propensity of electron pairs with opposite spins to accumulate as well as with their response to external perturbations. This paper contains a detailed description of the design and implementation of the program KLD, which was primarily developed in our research group to elucidate electron localization in molecular systems by evaluating the information content of electron-pair density functions. KLD employs two information-based functions as a real space measure of the Fermi and Coulomb holes for same-spin electrons and shows a better resolution as compared to other methods (i.e., ELF). Information about the acceleration of the code is also included in the present work, being noticeable the reduction of wall-time calculation and the error calculation between versions.
Methods
KLD was designed to be easy to use, extend, and maintain; thus, many principles of modern software development, extensive testing, and package management were adopted. The latest version of the KLD program was created utilizing the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) version, which allows it to use the computational capacity of NVIDIA Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) for processing purposes. The electron-pair conditional density was calculated from the canonical molecular orbitals obtained at the HF/6-31G(2df,p) level, or alternatively the natural orbitals in the case of explicit correlated wavefunctions computed at the MP2/6-31G(2df,p)//HF/6-31G(2df,p) level.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Modeling focuses on "hardcore" modeling, publishing high-quality research and reports. Founded in 1995 as a purely electronic journal, it has adapted its format to include a full-color print edition, and adjusted its aims and scope fit the fast-changing field of molecular modeling, with a particular focus on three-dimensional modeling.
Today, the journal covers all aspects of molecular modeling including life science modeling; materials modeling; new methods; and computational chemistry.
Topics include computer-aided molecular design; rational drug design, de novo ligand design, receptor modeling and docking; cheminformatics, data analysis, visualization and mining; computational medicinal chemistry; homology modeling; simulation of peptides, DNA and other biopolymers; quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) and ADME-modeling; modeling of biological reaction mechanisms; and combined experimental and computational studies in which calculations play a major role.
