Sommario/riassunto

This is a hands-on guide for the growing number of researchers in organic chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology who would like



to augment their experiments with theoretical calculations. Given the current availability of sophisticated software, non-quantum chemistry practitioners can obtain accurate computational results and save significant amounts of laboratory time. This book teaches the use of quantum chemical computer programs while side-stepping the complex mathematical details.
