Molecular mechanical solvation model biomolecules

Quantum Mechanical/Molecular Mechanical Solvation Models for Biomolecules... 

In the field of modeling of (organic) biomolecules, much progress has been made with the treatment of solvation based on the generalized Born formalism, used in mixed quantum-chemical/molecular-mechanical studies [223, 224]. 

The several theoretical and/or simulation methods developed for modelling the solvation phenomena can be applied to the treatment of solvent effects on chemical reactivity. A variety of systems - ranging from small molecules to very large ones, such as biomolecules [236-238], biological membranes [239] and polymers [240] -and problems - mechanism of organic reactions [25, 79, 223, 241-247], chemical reactions in supercritical fluids [216, 248-250], ultrafast spectroscopy [251-255], electrochemical processes [256, 257], proton transfer [74, 75, 231], electron transfer [76, 77, 104, 258-261], charge transfer reactions and complexes [262-264], molecular and ionic spectra and excited states [24, 265-268], solvent-induced polarizability [221, 269], reaction dynamics [28, 78, 270-276], isomerization [110, 277-279], tautomeric equilibrium [280-282], conformational changes [283], dissociation reactions [199, 200, 227], stability [284] - have been treated by these techniques. Some of these...
