What does MM stand for?

Each initial structure was optimized by a molecular mechanics technique using the conjugated gradient method.

In order to do so, a linkage must be found between molecular mechanics and structural mechanics.

These quantum dots can be used for studying molecular mechanics and physical properties inside cells.

Pawar, and Eric A Noe, Jackson State University, Jackson, MS, 39217 The conformational space was searched for 1,1-di-tert-butylcyclohexane (1), trans-1,2-di-tert-butylcyclohexane(2), and trans-l,3-di-tert-butylcyclohexane (3) with Allinger's molecular mechanics program (MM3 and MM4), and free energies were obtained at various temperatures.

Representative areas include molecular mechanics and quantum mechanical calculations; polymerization reactions, polymer degradation, chemical and stereochemical structure; distribution functions, fluctuations, correlation functions; electronic structure; molecular dynamics of polymer chains; and polymers undergoing phase transitions, including liquid-crystalline phases.

Recently, spectroscopically effective molecular mechanics models have been used for inter and intra molecular interactions consisting of charges, atomic dipoles and vander Waals (nonbonded) interactions (30).

And we know exactly the molecular mechanics of what happens in the cells.

The task is to perform chemical calculations on tens of thousands of organic molecules to determine which show the most promise, utilising the CHARMM molecular mechanics package developed by the Karplus group at Harvard University.
