Reaction Rate Theory Cambridge, UK, 19-21 September 2016

Reaction rate theory is essential for understanding and simulating chemical reactions. Progress in this field has been rapid recently, and has included the development of completely new techniques for including quantum effects in chemical reactions (including coupled proton-electron transfer), the application of rate theory to enzymes, and the development of efficient simulation techniques for treating very large systems. Many of these exciting recent developments are the result of ideas transferring between branches of the subject that used to be considered distant from each other: for example, classical simulation techniques are now used in quantum rate calculations. This volume brings together the research of leading scientists from various fields that use reaction rate theory, including theoretical and physical chemistry, molecular biology, solid state physics and bio-physics.
