Beschreibungen

"Kinetics and Dynamics" on molecular modeling of dynamic processes opens with an introductory overview before discussing approaches to reactivity of small systems in the gas phase. Then it examines studies of systems of increasing complexity up to the dynamics of DNA.

This title has interdisciplinary character presenting wherever possible an interplay between the theory and the experiment. It provides basic information as well as the details of theory and examples of its application to experimentalists and theoreticians interested in modeling of dynamic processes in chemical and biochemical systems. All contributing authors are renowned experts in their fields and topics covered in this volume represent the forefront of today’s science.

<P>Computational chemistry is a rapidly developing discipline. This is due to the development of faster algorithms and the increasing power of computers. This book explores the novel applications of these computational tools by focusing on studies which feature chemical and biochemical reactions at various scales and environments. <i>Kinetics and Dynamics: from Nano- to Bio-Scale</i> presents numerous examples which range from simple reactions in the gas phase to polymerization to complex biochemical systems. The reader is shown how the complexity of these systems necessitates the use of different theoretical approaches and methodologies hence broadening our understanding of these fundamental phenomena.</P>

<P><i>Kinetics and Dynamics: from Nano- to Bio- Scale</i> consists of a collection of chapters written by experts in the field. Their contributions have been selected to illustrate a variety of systems and techniques. Whilst it is impossible to be exhaustive on this subject within a single volume, an attempt has been made to describe different systems of interest in the life sciences.</P>

<P>This book provides contemporary and comprehensive reference material. It is useful for graduate students as well as independent scientists either entering the field of computational chemistry for the first time or those who are aiming to augment their expertise.</P>
Provides a thorough computational approach to the reactivity of chemical and biochemical systems Discusses recent advances in linear scaling algorithms and their impact on the study of kinetics Describes a broad spectrum of systems and applications rather than being solely focussed on methodology Features interplay between experiment and theory Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
