Proteins work together with other proteins or nucleic acids as "molecular machines" – structures that fit together and function in highly specific, lock-and-key ways.

Molecular orbital theory: The method of constructing molecular wave functions from one-electron molecular wave functions (molecular orbitals). Molecular orbital (MO): A wave-function describing …

Two different molecular systems with the same number of atoms will have different potential energy functions. In real life, and in an MD simulation, atoms are in constant motion. Here force fields with …

Before discussing electronic spectroscopy, we will investigate the description of molecular electronic states in terms of molecular term symbols as in the case of atomic electronic transitions.

Empirical and Molecular Formulas When the subscripts in a chemical formula represent the simplest ratio of the kinds of atoms in the compound, the formula is called an empirical formula.
