QUANTUM BIOCHEMISTRY

The how and the why is what we are looking for when doing biochemical research especially when looking at enzyme catalysis. If we understand why and how a chemical reaction occurs then we also understand why and how an atom is manipulated by the enzyme. This in turn might help us with the development of nanotechnology. This reveals a real challenge : how can we manipulate atoms... Next we provide an article on chemical reactivity and Lewis acid base reactions we explain how chemical reactivity is rooted in molecular structure theory. This is a must read otherwise you will not able to understand the research and its added value... We provide a summary on molecular structure theory with links to further reading for those who want to get into the details. The tutorial provides insight into the mathematical methods, the assumptions and approximations that have been made.
