Abstract

We apply a self-consistent charge tight-binding scheme to biomolecules. This method has been shown to give a reliable description of reaction energies, geometries and vibrational frequencies of small organic molecules. We discuss the performance of this method for model peptides and non-bonding interactions in biologically relevant molecular complexes. A comparison with semi-empirical methods and ab initio calculations will be given for DNA base pair H-bonding and stacking interactions.
