2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry also announced. Martin? Capellas, Michael? Leavitt and Yali Ye? Are consequences due to the development of multi-scale models of complex chemical systems and shared the 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
The speed of chemical reactions taking place very fast, jumping electrons between the nucleus, avoiding the eyes of scientists. 2013 Nobel Prize winner who let the computer give this mysterious process path possible. Detailed knowledge of chemical processes will be possible to optimize the catalyst, drugs, and photovoltaic cells.
Chemists around the world every day using a computer to design and conduct experiments. Martin - Capellas, Michael - Levitt and Yali Ye - model helps are consequences in the 1970s began to develop, the chemists were able to sift complex chemical reaction in each step of the fine, even if they can not to be observed by the naked eye.
Chemists have previously established molecular models with plastic balls and small sticks, now done by computer modeling. 70s of last century, Martin - Capellas - Michael Levitt and Yali Ye - are consequences of a strong program to understand and predict chemical processes for the foundation. Today, with a realistic simulation of chemical reactions in the development of computer models in chemistry is a key step.
The speed of chemical reactions taking place very fast. In a fraction of milliseconds, electrons from one nucleus to jump to another nucleus. Classic chemists were unable to track this process because the calibration experiment chemical reactions every small step can not be achieved. Through this technology and methods provided by Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the scientists were able to let the computer to reveal the chemical reaction process, such as off-gas purification catalyst or the like photosynthesis in the leaves.
Martin - Capellas - Michael Levitt and Yali Ye - are consequences of breakthrough achievements in that they succeeded in Newton's classical mechanics and essentially completely different at the same time taking into account quantum mechanics. Former chemist can only choose one of two. Strengths of classical mechanics is its simple calculation can simulate very large model of the atom, but the disadvantage is impossible to simulate chemical reactions. When To simulate chemical reactions, chemists must use quantum mechanics and quantum mechanics need a lot of the computer, it can only be used for small molecule model simulations.
The method of this year's Award winners have included the development of the strengths of classical mechanics and quantum mechanics. For example, when a drug to simulate the human body protein binding target, part of the target protein and drug interactions are theoretical computer using quantum mechanics to calculate, while the remaining portion is a large protein with a computer for computing power less demanding classical mechanics simulation.
Today's computer is as important for chemists like tube. Results of the simulation so real that you can predict the results of routine experimentation.
