QMERA

The BIOVIA Materials Studio QMERA module in BIOVIA Materials Studio performs simulations by combining DFT methods from DMol3 and force field methods from GULP. QMERA can be used to model either molecular or periodic systems and can handle hundreds or even thousands of atoms. It is particularly well-suited for modeling problems in chemical reactivity, where an active site is chemically localized. Researchers can use the method to study problems in nanotubes, nanoclusters, and amorphous material.
