The challenge of predicting optical properties of biomolecules: What can we learn from time-dependent density-functional theory?
[Le défi de la prédiction des propriétés optiques des bio-molécules : Que peut nous apprendre la théorie de la fonctionnelle de la densité dépendante du temps ?]
Comptes Rendus. Physique, Volume 10 (2009) no. 6, pp. 469-490.

L'utilité de la théorie de la fonctionnelle de la densité dépendante du temps (TDDFT) pour l'étude théorique des propriétés optiques de biomolécules a été largement démontrée. Nous discutons les limites des implémentations actuelles de la TDDFT, afin de répondre à certaines questions sur la description des états excités des systèmes biologiques complexes. L'objectif principal de ce travail est d'évaluer les performances de la TDDFT, en régime linéaire, pour les systèmes bio-moléculaires, dans le spectre visible ou UV proche – mesuré, par exemple, avec l'absorption optique ou le dichroïsme optique. Bien que ces spectres soient essentiellement déterminés par les degrées de liberté électroniques, les régions optiquement actives des grands systèmes biologiques peuvent être fortement influencés par les effets dus à l'environnement (solvant, entourage de la protéine, température, etc.). De plus, de nombreux processus biologiques essentiels sont des processus dynamiques photo-induits (photoisomérisation, etc.), et leur description a besoin d'un traitement conjoint des degrés de liberté électroniques et nucléaires. Nous illustrons ces aspects avec une sélection de systèmes bio-moléculaires paradigmatiques : chromophores des protéines fluorescentes, porphyrines, ADN, azobenzène, etc.

The suitability of the time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) approach for the theoretical study of the optical properties of biomolecules is demonstrated by several examples. We critically discuss the limitations of available TDDFT implementations to address some of the present open questions in the description of the excited-state dynamics of biological complexes. The key objective of the present work is to address the performance of TDDFT in the linear response regime of the bio-molecular systems to the visible or near UV radiation – measured by, e.g. optical absorption or optical dichroism spectra. Although these spectra are essentially determined by the electronic degrees of freedom of small, optically active regions within the usually large biological systems, they can also be strongly influenced by environment effects (solvent, hosting protein, temperature, etc.). Moreover, many key biological processes consist of photo-induced dynamics (photoisomerisation, etc.), and their description requires a coupled treatment of electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom. We illustrate these aspects with a selection of paradigmatic biomolecular systems: chromophores in fluorescent proteins, porphyrins, DNA basis, the azobenzene dye, etc.
