Molecular Mechanics (MM) and Force Field Methods

 

Molecular Mechanics (MM) and Force Field Methods

What is Molecular Mechanics?

Molecular Mechanics (MM) is a computational method used to study molecules by applying classical physics laws instead of quantum mechanics.  OR

Molecular mechanics is a computational method that calculates molecular structure and energy using classical mechanics and force field equations without explicitly considering electrons.

Molecular Modeling Using Molecular Mechanics

  Molecular Modeling Using Molecular Mechanics Molecular models can be constructed in two main ways. Either researchers use an existing co...
