Quantum Mechanical Simulation Methods for Studying Biological Systems Les Houches Workshop, May 2–7, 1995

It is now generally agreed that a deeper understanding of biological processes requires a multi-disciplinary approach employing the tools of biology, chemistry, and physics. Such understanding involves study of biomacromolecules and their functions, which includes how they interact, their reactions,...
