MM energy

The MM energy equation is a sum of sums that began in a simple form, for example. 

Molecular mechanics (MM) energy minimiza tion indicates that the two modes lead to monolayers exhibiting different types of packing arrangements, but comparable in their ground state energies. (The monolayer resulting from the mode is more stable by 2.5 kJ/mol (0.6 kcal/mol))...

In the structurally coupled QM/MM implementation of Zhang et al. [55, 56], in which the QM/MM boundary was treated by use of the pseudobond approach [55, 57], the QM/MM minimization of the QM part is combined with FEP calculations. In this procedure the energy profile of the enzyme reaction is first determined by use of QM/MM energy minimizations. The structures and charges of the QM atoms are then used, in the same manner as in the QM/FE method, to determine the role of environment on the energy profile of the reaction. In this way the effects of a large number of MM conformations of protein and solvent environment can be included in the total energies. 

Samples of dried and ground (0.3 mm) energy crops (mimosa, sericea, kudzu, arunzo, switchgrass, velvet bean, and castor) were kindly supplied by Dr. David Bransby of the Department of Agronomy and Soils at Auburn University. To perform an extraction, 2 g of the selected energy crop was mixed with 60 mL of solvent (either water, 60% methanol in water, or 60% ethanol in water) and blended in a standard household blender for 1 min... 

Therefore, MM energies have no meaning as absolute quantities. They are used for comparing relative strain energy between two or more conformations. 

For MM+ (energy calculations of small biomolecules or ligands) Choose either Bond dipoles or Atomic charges (assigned via Builds Set charge) for use in the calculations of nonbounded Electrostatic interactions. Select None (calculate all nonbonded interactions recommended for small molecules), Switched or Shifted for Cutoffs (for large molecules). 

A plausible way out of this situation has been proposed by R. Deeth ([60] and references therein). In order to handle quantum behavior of the 7-shell he suggested adding the ligand filed stabilization energy (LFSE) term to the MM energy eq. (2.124). The LFSE in [60] is taken as a sum of the orbital energies of the 7-orbitals, calculated in the angular overlap approximation (AOM - see Section 2.4.2.1)... 

We note that the Hmm introduced in Eq. (1-2) is the classical MM energy, this term, however, is a contribution only to the energy and not to the wavefunction. 

In a mean field and linear approximation, the induced dipole moments are related to the wave function through Eq. (13-14) and we introduce the polarizability and the electric fields in place of the induced moments by inserting this equation once into Eq. (13-18). Taking the expectation value of Eq. (13-8) we obtain the following expression for the QM/MM energy [24,54]... 

We write the total energy for the classical system in two terms (i) an intramolecular term, E1, and (ii) an intermolecular contribution, Emm/mm The intermolecular MM energy is written as... 

The expression contains the van der Waals MM/MM energy given by E J/MM and the polarization term is the second term in Eq. (13-28) which depends explicitly on the induced dipole moments determined as... 

We obtain the modifications to the response equations due to the coupling between the quantum mechanical and classical mechanical subsystems by constructing the corresponding time-dependent CC/MM energy functional [24]... 

At the very beginning of a study, it is very convenient to perform a purely classical molecular mechanics (MM) energy and geometry minimization procedure MM replaces the Hamiltonians by purely classical potential energies for (i) formal electrostatics for charged atoms in molecules,...
