title: Quantum chemistry and enzymes: a next step.
abstract: In this paper the relevance of ab initio quantum mechanical calculations is briefly reviewed. A method to extend such calculations to the domain of solvent effects and the theoretical investigation of chemical reactions in the active site of a protein is discussed.
