Molecular mechanics calculations provide an efficient computational approach for studying molecular structures and interactions in biological and chemical systems. CD ComputaBio's molecular mechanics calculation service offers robust solutions for researchers requiring reliable simulations of large molecular systems with fast turnaround times. This service employs classical physics-based force fields to model molecular behavior, making it particularly valuable for drug discovery, materials science, and biochemical studies.
Molecular mechanics (MM) calculations use classical Newtonian mechanics to describe molecular systems through potential energy functions (called force fields). These methods approximate molecular interactions using bond stretching, angular bending, torsional rotations, and non-bonded interactions (van der Waals and electrostatic forces). Molecular mechanics can simulate larger systems (thousands to millions of atoms) over longer time scales. The method has proven to be particularly effective for protein-ligand interactions, conformational analysis, and molecular dynamics simulations.

Conformational Analysis
Energy minimization and conformational sampling identify stable molecular geometries. Rotational barriers, ring conformations, and ligand binding poses are analyzed to understand flexibility and stability. This service is essential for drug design, where small-molecule conformers influence binding affinity and selectivity.
Free Energy Calculations
Relative binding free energies, solvation energies, and thermodynamic properties are computed using methods like MM/PBSA or free energy perturbation (FEP). These calculations guide medicinal chemistry decisions by ranking compound efficacy and predicting solubility or permeability.
Material Property Prediction
Elastic constants, diffusion coefficients, and thermal stability of polymers, metals, and nanomaterials are evaluated. MM simulations help design advanced materials with tailored mechanical, thermal, or electronic properties for industrial applications.
