How do we obtain a molecular picture of chemical systems? Answer: Molecular simulation? AFM? TEM? small protein (peptide) binding to a carbon nanotube example:
Atomic Force Microscopy? small protein (peptide) binding to a carbon nanotube example:
Transition Electron Microscopy? small protein (peptide) binding to a carbon nanotube example:
Molecular simulation? small protein (peptide) binding to a carbon nanotube example:
Molecular simulation The energy of chemical structures, in combination with statistical mechanics, allows for, in principle, all properties of a system to be calculated. But if the energies are not known accurately…
