Carlos, your comment about the different temperature dependences of bimolecular interactions is very interesting. Could you comment a bit more or suggest some references? I’m trying to understand why the ionization energy for a heme group becomes more negative from 300 to 270 K, and my only idea so far has been to compute the ionization energies at the QM level for MD snapshots with various groups (non-polar, polar, acidic, etc.) electrostatically turned off. This was the context for my question about turning off H-bonds. In any case, I apologize for the interjection; your comment was just too interesting and relevant to my own work to pass up the chance for more information.
Best,
Matthew
