Correction schemes orthogonalization

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases charge the appropriate tRNA with the correct amino acid, which is important in maintaining the fidelity of protein translation. To genetically encode an unnatural amino acid, the substrate specificity of the orthogonal synthetase needs to be altered to charge the orthogonal tRNA with only the desired unnatural amino acid and none of the common 20 amino acids. A general scheme was developed for... 

Fundamental support for the d correction was expressed by Morokuma et who observed that in energy-partitioned SCF calculations the term became excessive for basis sets subject to large BSSE. They argued that a virtuals-only scheme is the proper one to correct for this. It was noted that the virtuals of the ghost to be included should really be those of the counterpoise-corrected instead of the isolated ghost. This recipe is difficult to implement. However, in their example the difference from the simple recipe was extremely small. Similarly. Hayes and Stone state that, while only the virtuals of the partner are available in their non-orthogonal second-order perturbation theory, the occupied orbitals may become available in higher orders. 

Using the variation condition one can derive a linear equation for Xq which, in turn, can be used to evaluate the first-order correction to the density matrix. This leads to an iterative scheme involving matrix manipulations in the local space. It is important to note that Kirtman s treatment describes not only inductive but delocalization effects, as well. A practical limitation is that one should work with orthogonal AO basis sets therefore the calculations have been done with semiempirical ZDO model Hamiltonians [91], or with explicitly Lowdin-orthogonalized basis sets in ab initio calculations.
