Course objectives
At the end of the course students should be able to understand and explain how to use one of the commonly used modeling software packages.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able to:
- create appropriate models of studied problems;
- perform basic quantum-chemical and molecular-mechanical calculations;
- calculate interaction energy;
- find the transition state of the elementary reaction and determine its activation energy;
- describe the dynamics of small molecular system;
