First-Principles Spectroscopic Calculations
Vibrational spectroscopy is a sensitive probe of molecular properties, including structure and the intermolecular force field. For large molecules, however, first principles calculations are very challenging beyond the harmonic approximation, due to coupling between different vibrational modes.
In this lecture, we argue that the Vibrational Self‐Consistent Field (VSCF) method is a major step forward in the field, making calculations feasible for systems of the size of large peptides.
Applications include :
We will show future directions of progress, including applications to structure and interaction of proteins.
