Modeling supramolecular assemblages.
There has been some progress (but not much) in simulating supramolecular assemblages in the past year. The two main technical advances have been, firstly, the establishment of a protocol for extracting equilibrium thermodynamic data from forced (i.e. nonequilibrium) simulations and experiments, and, secondly, the development of a method for accurately calculating the electrostatics of enormous systems. Some recent applications have demonstrated the increasing feasibility of performing meaningful simulations of very large systems.
