The study of quantitatively describing molecule structures and simulating their behaviour using quantum and classical physics equations is known as molecular modelling. Polymer scientists were able to directly generate and acquire molecular data, including as geometries, energies, electrical properties, spectroscopic characteristics, and bulk properties, using computer programmes. Nowadays, a great deal of synthetic polymers are employed in daily life. Natural polymers like rubber, cellulose, and other such materials are now less significant than ever. The relationship between a material's molecular composition and bulk state and its physical properties is widely established. The only technique that can directly show the nature of materials at the molecular level may be molecular modelling. Combining molecular modelling with the conventional experimental study could make it considerably more productive.
One part of molecular modelling is molecular mechanics, which uses Newtonian mechanics to describe the physical underpinnings of the models. Atoms are commonly represented in molecular models as point charges with a corresponding mass. Van der Waals forces and spring-like interactions, which reflect chemical bonds, are used to describe interactions between nearby atoms. The latter is frequently referred to as the Lennard-Jones potential. Based on Coulomb's law, the electrostatic interactions are calculated. Atoms can be given velocities in dynamical simulations in addition to being given coordinates in internal or Cartesian space. The system's temperature, a macroscopic quantity, is connected to the atomic velocities. In relation to the system internal energy (U), a thermodynamic quantity equal to the sum of the potential and kinetic energies, the collective mathematical expression is known as a potential function. Energy reduction techniques, such as steepest descent and conjugate gradient, are used to reduce potential energy, whereas molecular dynamics techniques are used to simulate how a system would behave as time passes.
A group of methods known as molecular modelling are used to derive, depict, and manipulate the three-dimensional structures and reactions of molecules as well as the attributes that depend on them. The goal of this lecture course is to provide a clear introduction to the hierarchy of computational modelling techniques that are currently used as standard tools by organic chemists for locating, explaining, and forecasting the structure and reactivity of organic, bio-organic, and organometallic molecules. By outlining the drawbacks and advantages of each approach, the focus will be on assisting the reader in getting a sense of which "tool" to employ in the context of a typical situation involving structure, activity, or reactivity. The methods are as follows:
- Visualization of molecules
- Techniques for Location of Equilibrium and Transition State Geometry
- Overview of molecular mechanics techniques
- Uses of density functional, ab initio, and semi-empirical molecular orbital approaches
- Techniques for topological wavefunction analysis
Inorganic, biological, and polymeric systems' structure, dynamics, surface characteristics, and thermodynamics are increasingly often studied using molecular modelling techniques. Protein folding, enzyme catalysis, protein stability, conformational changes related to biomolecular function, and molecular recognition of proteins, DNA, and membrane complexes are some of the biological activities that have been studied using molecular modelling.
