From the Wave Equation to Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics

Abstract

The multiscale models for complex chemical systems constitute a powerful computational tool to describe biomolecular structure and dynamics, including enzymatic reactions. Here, the development of this method is presented as a miraculous chain of events, involving astoundingly lucky encounters of brilliant minds such as Planck, Schrödinger, Pauling, Karplus, Levitt, and Warshel.
