It is found that, if one uses core-augmented basis sets and allows for linear scaling of the raw results, calculations of only the Fermi contact term yield more accurate predictions than calculations where all four terms that contribute to J(H-H) are evaluated.Abstract:
The performance of 250 different computational protocols (combinations of density functionals, basis sets and methods) was assessed on a set of 165 well-established experimental 1H–1H nuclear coupling constants (JH–H) from 65 molecules spanning a wide range of “chemical space”. Thereby we found that, if one uses core-augmented basis sets and allows for linear scaling of the raw results, calculations of only the Fermi contact term yield more accurate predictions than calculations where all four terms that contribute to JH–H are evaluated. It turns out that B3LYP/6-31G(d,p)u+1s is the best (and, in addition, one of the most economical) of all tested methods, yielding predictions of JH–H with a root-mean-square deviation from experiment of less than 0.5 Hz for our test set. Another method that does similarly well, without the need for additional 1s basis functions, is B3LYP/cc-pVTZ, which is, however, ca. 8 times more “expensive” in terms of CPU time. A selection of the better methods was tested on a probe s...read more

TL;DR: The results suggest that matching experimental timescales of motions together with motionally averaged characteristics is the valid approach for force field parameter optimization and can be extended to other amino acid residues, as well as to the backbone.
