It is shown that the title Comment by W. Szczepanik, M. Dulak, and T. A. Wesolowski [Int. J. Quantum Chem. 106 (2006)] is unsatisfactory.
It is demonstrated that the original reductio ad absurdum proof of the generalization of the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem for ensembles of fractionally occupied states for isolated many-electron Coulomb systems with Coulomb-type external potentials by Gross et al. [Phys. Rev. A 37, 2809 (1988)] is self-contradictory since the to-be-refuted assumption (negation) regarding the ensemble one-electron densities and the assumption about the external potentials are logically incompatible to each other due to the Kato electron-nuclear cusp theorem. It is however proved that the Kato theorem itself provides a satisfactory proof of this theorem.
DNA base-gold interactions are studied theoretically at the DFT level using Au3 and Au4 clusters as simple catalytic models for Au particles. The bonding between DNA bases and gold clusters occurs via the anchoring of a Au atom to the N or O atoms of the bases. In the most stable planar base-Au3 complexes, the Au-N or Au-O anchor bonds are reinforced by N-H...Au bonds. The mechanism of formation of these nonconventional H-bonds is discussed.
Low-energy structures are found on the potential energy surfaces of the neutral, cationic, and anionic gold clusters Au_{5 \leq n \leq 8}^Z (Z = 0, \pm) and on the neutral potential energy surface of Au_9. These structures provide insights on the 2D - 3D transition in small neutral and charged gold clusters. Two metastable long-lived dianions of gold clusters are reported as well.
