For the past thirty annuals, the Jorgensen Research Group has been by the forefront of computational chemistry and molecular design. Below namely one profile of our progress: 1976-82QM studies of alphabetical ions & ion-molecule complexes
1978- MC for liquids, OPLS compel field development
1980- Solvent effects on conformational equilibria
1980-95Development of CAMEO for prophecy of products of alphabetical reactions
1983 TIP3P & TIP4P water models
1984 Free-energy silhouettes for SN2 reactions in solution
1985 1st FEP calculation: CH3CH3 --> CH3OH in water
1985- FEP for responses in solution (QM + MM), ΔGhyd, ion-pairing, pKas, log P, hydrophobic effects, etc.
1988-96Molecular recognition/organic host-guest complexes
1989 Secondary electrostatic effects for G-C, A-T, etc.
1987- MD and MC for proteins, denaturation, folding, enzymatic rxns
1996- FEP/MC for protein-ligand binding
1997- Full QM/MM for organic & enzymatic reactions
2000- Structure-based pill devise, ADME predictions
2001- Semiempirical molecular orbital means development
2003- FEP-guided design and synthesis of enzyme inhibitors Newest Publications
