Hybrid energy defined

Figure 3 Mutation of a ligand Asp into Asn in solution and bound to a protein, (a) Thermodynamic cycle, (b) Dual topology description a hybrid ligand with two side chains. Blocks are used to define the hybrid energy function [Eq. (14)]. Only the ligand is shown the environment is either solvent or the solvated protein, (c) Single-topology description.

For polar covalent solids, sp hybrids of the form of Eq. (3-1) can be constructed on each of the atom types present and oriented in the directions of its nearest neighbors. The hybrid energies will be different we call the lesser energy and the greater energy i-, and, in direct analogy with Eq. (1-32), define a hybrid polar energy proportional to their difference ...

It is very attractive to couple the 3D-RISM method with the KS-DFT for the electronic structure to self-consistently obtain both classical and electronic properties of solutions and interfaces. The 3D-RISM approach using the 3D-FFT technique naturally combines with the KS-DFT in the planewave implementation. The planewave basis set is convenient for the simple representation of the kinetic and potential energy operators, and is frequently employed for large systems. The hybrid KS-DFT/3D-RISM method is illustrated below by the example of a metal slab immersed in aqueous solvent [28]. In a self-consistent field (SCF) loop the electronic structure of the metal solute in contact with molecular solvent is obtained from the KS-DFT equations modified for the presence of the solvent. The electron subsystem of the interface is assumed to be at the zeroth temperature, whereas its classical counterpart to have temperature T. The energy parameter of the KS-DFT is replaced by the Helmholtz free energy defined as... 

Fig. 2. Schejmatic illustration of the metal-insulator transition and formation of Hubbard bands in narrow-bandwidth materials. In the itinerant metal (a), strong overlap of the valence orbitals leads to formation of a broad hybridized energy band of width W. Electrons are essentially completely delocalized to minimize flieir kinetic energy. At the opposite extreme (b) is the atomic case, where the eigenstates are well defined and the Coulombic repulsion between two elections in a single orbital costs an energy U. Transition-metal oxides and similar materials exist in the intermediate regime suggested in (cX with an effective Coulomb repulsion, larger than their bandwidth U ff TV/2, separating the upper (UFIB) and lower (LHB) Hubbard bands.

The incorporation of the generalized Bom model into free energy calculation methods using FEP/TI and A-dynamics was carried out by Banba and Brooks.81 They define the electrostatic solvation energy for the hybrid system as follows...
