Equation (4-5) can be directly utilized in statistical mechanical Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations by choosing an appropriate QM model, balancing computational efficiency and accuracy, and MM force fields for biomacromolecules and the solvent water. Our group has extensively explored various QM/MM methods using different quantum models, ranging from semiempirical methods to ab initio molecular orbital and valence bond theories to density functional theory, applied to a wide range of applications in chemistry and biology. Some of these studies have been discussed before and they are not emphasized in this article. We focus on developments that have not been often discussed. [Pg.83]

Because the electronic energy Ee(q) in Eq. [8] and its derivatives must be calculated at each integration step of a classical trajectory, a direct dynamics simulation is usually very computationally intense. A standard numerical integration time step is /St = 10 " s. Thus, if a trajectory is integrated for 10 s, 10" evaluations of Eq. (8) are required for each trajectory. An ensemble for a trajectory simulation may be as small as 100 events, but even with such a small ensemble 10 " electronic structure calculations are required. Because of such computational demands, it is of interest to determine the lowest level of electronic structure theory and smallest basis set that gives an adequate representation for the system under study. In the following parts of this section, semiempirical and ab initio electronic structure theories and mixed electronic structure theory (quantum mechanical) and molecular mechanical (i.e. QM/MM) approaches for performing direct dynamics are surveyed. [Pg.86]
