Abstract excerpt
The origin of the temperature dependence of kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) in enzyme reactions is a problem of general interest and a major challenge for computational chemistry. The present work simulates the nuclear quantum mechanical (NQM) effects and the corresponding KIE in dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and two of its mutants by using the empirical valence bond (EVB) and the quantum classical path (QCP)...
