Theory and Applications of the Empirical Valence Bond Approach

From Physical Chemistry to Chemical Biology

Herausgeber: Duarte, Fernanda; Kamerlin, Shina Caroline Lynn

Beschreibung

A comprehensive overview of current empirical valence bond (EVB) theory and applications, one of the most powerful tools for studying chemical processes in the condensed phase and in enzymes. * Discusses the application of EVB models to a broad range of molecular systems of chemical and biological interest, including reaction dynamics, design of artificial catalysts, and the study of complex biological problems * Edited by a rising star in the field of computational enzymology * Foreword by Nobel laureate Arieh Warshel, who first developed the EVB approach
