With the help of Claude Code RealQM is now implemented in a version with active valence electrons which can be used for large molecules. A first simple test is Glycine NH2-CH2-COOH, which is the simplest amino acid with proteins built from 20-300 amino acids.
Below you see RealQM running on a MacBook Air with 100^3 grid in minutes (with up to 5 atoms on 200^3 grid). You can test yourself downloading from Claes542 on GitHub (C:green, N:blue, O:red, H:white),
- molecule.js (10-atom support, dynamic grid)
- molecule.html (grid selector)
- glycine.html
- co2.html nh3.html h2co.html
- h2o.js h2o.html run to find binding energy 0.48 Hartree compared to 0.35 observed (no calibration)
This is only a first test. Will add molecule dynamics based on real forces from potentials. Simulation of protein folding appears as a clear possibility. The code is 3-line explicit updating of densities, free boundary and potentials and great speed up awaiting.
PS1 The valence electrons (H=1, N=3, O=2, C=4) are here homogenized into non-overlapping electron charges of charge 1, 3, 2 and 4 with reduction of potentials representing no self-repulsion, but can be split into charge 1 electrons if needed. Max number of valence electrons appears to be 4.
PS2 Another case Camphor C10H16O (27 atoms on 100^3 grid):
PS3 Solvated Caffeine C8H10N4O2 + 9H2O (51 atoms on 100^3 grid)
PS4 Can now run 1000 atoms on 300^3 grid.
Could you remind me whether RealQM treats electron interference patterns (double-slit experiment)?
SvaraRaderaFocus on protein folding, not wave diffraction.
SvaraRaderaThat's not helpful.
SvaraRaderaI am happy to find this post very useful for me, as it contains lot of information.
