Quantum Calculations on Ion Channels: Why Are They More Useful Than Classical Calculations, and for Which Processes Are They Essential?
There are reasons to consider quantum calculations to be necessary for ion channels, for two types of reasons. The calculations must account for charge transfer, and the possible switching of hydrogen bonds, which are very difficult with classical force fields. Without understanding charge transfer...
