Colton, Clark

Clark Colton All the comments about molecular simulations have emphasized their power and the computational aspects. Nothing s been said about the intermolecular potential energy functions. What we have is fine for small molecules, but once we get to large, complicated molecules, such as charged proteins in an aqueous electrolyte solution, we have difficulty writing the intermolecular potential energy function. Why hasn t that issue been identified ... 

Clark Colton I d like to respond, because I disagree with you.

This paper is a statement of the author s opinions. These have been refined and occasionally corrected by helpful comments and criticisms from Frances Arnold, Georges Belfort, Harvey Blanch, Doug Clark, Clark Colton, Larry Erickson, Mike Shuler, Tony Sinskey, and all of my research group. The author is also indebted to the National Science Foundation and the Chemical and Biocatalysis Program of the U.S. Department of Energy for financial support of research in several areas considered in this commentary. 

Clark Colton Mort, in response to the last issue you raised about what is the core, what did we discuss during the first three sessions here Did we miss anything ... 

John Prausnitz I want to say something that s on my mind I suspect it s on everybody else s mind also. I want to thank MIT, and in particular Clark Colton, for organizing this conference and choosing such a magnificent place, and most of all for inviting us to participate. I think that all here agree that we haven t really solved any problems, but we are perhaps a little wiser now as we leave, compared to what we were when we came. I wish I had some champagne water s the best I ve got, but happy birthday, MIT.
