AbstractThis research project, led by Professor Kendall N. Houk of the University of California-Los Angeles and funded by the Chemical Mechanism, Function, and Properties Program in the Division of Chemistry, involves computer calculations using the methods of quantum mechanics and molecular dynamics to understand the factors that control chemical reactivity. Professor Houk and his team explore the detailed mechanisms by which reactions occur and predict how changing the conditions, substrates, and cata
