Large-scale production of natural products, such as terpenes, presents a significant scientific and technological challenge. One promising approach to tackle this problem is chemical synthesis inside nanocapsules, although enzyme-like control chemistry has not yet been achieved. In order better understand the complex we design multiscale nanoreactor simulation approach. The protocol consists hybrid quantum mechanics–molecular mechanics-based high temperature Langevin molecular dynamics...
Finding renewable energy sources as alternatives to petroleum-based fuels is a current global challenge.
Carbocations play key roles in classical organic reactions and have also been implicated several enzyme families. A hallmark of carbocation chemistry is multitudes competing reaction pathways, to be able distinguish between pathways with quantum chemical calculations, it necessary approach accuracy for relative energies carbocations. Here, we present an extensive study the performance selected density functional theory (DFT) methods describing thermochemistry kinetics carbocations their...
