Welcome to the Jorgensen Lab
For the past thirty years, the Jorgensen Research Group has been at the forefront of computational chemistry and molecular design. Below is an outline of our progress:
| 1976-82 | QM studies of organic ions & ion-molecule complexes |
|---|---|
| 1978- | MC for liquids, OPLS force field development |
| 1980- | Solvent effects on conformational equilibria |
| 1980-95 | Development of CAMEO for prediction of products of organic reactions |
| 1983 | TIP3P & TIP4P water models |
| 1984 | Free-energy profiles for SN2 reactions in solution |
| 1985 | 1st FEP calculation: CH3CH3 --> CH3OH in water |
| 1985- | FEP for reactions in solution (QM + MM), ΔGhyd, ion-pairing, pKas, log P, hydrophobic effects, etc. |
| 1988-96 | Molecular recognition/organic host-guest complexes |
| 1989 | Secondary electrostatic effects for G-C, A-T, etc. |
| 1987- | MD and MC for proteins, denaturation, folding, enzymatic rxns |
| 1996- | FEP/MC for protein-ligand binding |
| 1997- | Full QM/MM for organic & enzymatic reactions |
| 2000- | Structure-based drug design, ADME predictions |
| 2001- | Semiempirical molecular orbital method development |
| 2003- | FEP-guided design and synthesis of enzyme inhibitors |
