Fragment molecular orbital calculations for biomolecules.

Exploring biomolecule behavior, such as proteins and nucleic acids, using quantum mechanical theory can identify many life science phenomena from first principles. Fragment molecular orbital (FMO) calculations of whole single particles of biomolecules can determine the electronic state of the interior and surface of molecules and explore molecular recognition mechanisms based on intermolecular and intramolecular interactions. In this review, we summarized the current state of FMO calculations in drug discovery, virology, and structural biology, as well as recent developments from data science.
