Molecular Modeling and Simulation of Complex Molecules


Description:
We invite papers presenting computational investigations of large-scale molecules (highly functionalized polymers, biomolecules, aromatics, etc.). Contributions at the quantum, atomistic, or coarse-grained length scales are all acceptable. Papers showing direct comparisons to experimental measurements or theoretical predictions are especially encouraged.
