molecular mechanics
A computational chemistry method for modeling molecular systems using classical mechanics. Used in fields such as biochemistry and materials science.
Molecular mechanics is often used for protein structure optimization.
We applied molecular mechanics to this simulation.
分子動力学法 (molecular dynamics) simulates the time evolution of a molecular system, while 分子力学法 (molecular mechanics) focuses on static energy minimization and conformational analysis.
量子化学計算 (quantum chemical calculation) uses quantum mechanics to model electronic structure, whereas 分子力学法 uses classical physics and is much faster for large systems.
Compound of 分子 (molecule), 力学 (mechanics), and 法 (method). A direct translation of the English term 'molecular mechanics'.
