Abstract

computer simulation of liquids ‐ events in biochemistry, interaction of proteins with molecules, serving as enzymes (catalysts) for metabolic processes

In Silico, approach to chemistry and biology ‐ theoretical chemistry, framework for thinking about molecules, their interactions and mechanisms

quantum chemistry, understanding how molecules work ‐ quantum mechanics in understanding what happens in two or three or four molecule interaction

This chapter contains sections titled: A Little History Computer Simulation of Liquids Estimates of Free Energy Profiles Connections to Conformational Changes in Proteins Ligand Binding to Myoglobin What's Next? Further Reading
