Abstract

We present a flexible formulation for energy-based molecular fragmentation schemes. This framework does not only incorporate the majority of existing fragmentation expansions but also allows for flexible formulation of novel schemes. We further illustrate its application in multi-level approaches and for electronic interaction energies. For the examples of small water clusters, a small protein, and protein-protein interaction energies, we show how this flexible setup can be exploited to generate a well-suited multi-level fragmentation expansion for the given case. With such a setup, we reproduce the electronic protein-protein interaction energy of ten different structures of a neurotensin and an extracellular loop of its receptor with a mean absolute deviation to the respective super-system calculations below 1 kJ/mol.
