S. pneumoniae recP mutant was compared with rec-8 mutant to identify whether they are the same gene or not by determining sensitivity to DNA damaging agents. recP and rec-8 mutant have almost same sensitivity to UV, ethylmethane sulfonate, and methylmethane sulfonate, suggesting that recP has the same function as the rec-8 gene in DNA repair.

We describe newly developed software named KPACK for relativistic electronic structure computation of molecules containing heavy elements that enables the two-component ab initio calculations in Kramers restricted and unrestricted formalisms in the framework of the relativistic effective core potential (RECP). The spin-orbit coupling as relativistic effect enters into the calculation at the Hartree-Fock (HF) stage and hence, is treated in a variational manner to generate two-component molecular spinors as one-electron wavefunctions for use in the correlated methods. As correlated methods, KPACK currently provides the two-component second-order M${\o}$ller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2), configuration interaction (CI) and complete-active-space self-consistent field (CASSCF) methods. Test calculations were performed for the ground states of group-14 elements, for which the spin-orbit coupling greatly influences the determination of term symbols. A categorization of three procedures is suggested for the two-component methods on the basis of spin-orbit coupling manifested in the HF level.
