For the individual fragments A and B you don't need and CP correction, it would in fact be difficult to do so anyways. You need knowledge of the position of both fragments for this type of calculation, and for the isolated fragments you don't have this information. The BSSE does not come into effect here.

I think I have it now, but just to make sure i'm following you correctly, I should perform CP correction calculations on the Transition state AB* and the bonded addition product AB, but would calculate the energies of the individual reactants A and B in the normal way without any CP corrections? Is it best to perform a geometry optimisation+freq with CP correction active, or should I optimise first, then perform a single point CP correction on the optimised structure? The basis set size can have an effect on the geometry and frequencies so I guess it would make sense for CP to be active throughout.

Hi,

BSSE comes into picture = > when you want to calculate the interaction energy of a molecular > assembly (= > say XY). Interaction energy of a molecular assembly is defined as electroni= > c energy of the complete assembly XY (E_XY) minus the sum of the electronic= > energies of individual monomer (E_X + E_Y).

Now in your case, if you want to find out the corr= > ect interaction energy of the bio-molecular assembly AB then run CP calcula= > tion on AB to get the BSSE correction (say E_BSSE).

Hope this helps.
