Heme calculations (SUMMARY)



 Some days ago I placed the following question:
 >Dear netters,
 >can anybody point me to some fundamental publication about ab intio
 >calculation of hemes? In particular I would be glad to know which basis
 >set is best suited for calculating spin delocalization from iron to heme.
 Here I enclose the answers I got. Thank you very much to all who aswered.

 Dear Mauro,
 You may find some useful references reganding ab inito heme
 calculations in our paper:
 W.Nowak and J.-L.Martin, "Towards understanding of qunatum
 factors in small ligand geminate recombination to heme proteins",
 published in the proceedings of
 "Quantum Mech. Simul. Methods for Studying Biological Systems. Les
 Houches Workshop 1995 (Pub. 1996). Eds. D.Bicout, M.Field, Springer,
 Berlin, Germany; pp.257-270.
 These are somewhat old but anyhow may be useful for you.
 Please summarize responses.
 WIth kind regards,
 Wieslaw Nowak

 Subject: Re:  CCL:ab initio calculation on heme
 Dear Mauro,
 I did sometimes ago a series of ab initio calculations
 on the heme (and on other metalloporphyrins as well)
 We used double-zeta types basis sets (and even triple-zeta
 for the outer shells)
