Abstract
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations can yield the structural dynamics of biomolecules at a femtoseconds time resolution and, simultaneously, at atomic spatial resolution. However, due to the large computational effort involved, MD was hitherto limited to rather small systems, such as a single molecule in water, and to timescales of a few hundred nanoseconds. Furthermore, the current molecular mechanical (MM) force fields cannot describe the making and breaking of chemical bonds or light-activated processes, which requires a quantum mechanical description.
