Quasi-classical trajectories to study reaction mechanisms like in PNAS and JACS papers!

Quasi-classical molecular dynamics (also known as quasi-classical trajectories (QCT)) accounts for the zero-point energy (ZPE) in contrast to classical dynamics and is very popular in studying chemical reactions (see, e.g., works by Houk et al. in PNAS 2012, 109, 12860 and J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2023, 145, 14446). In the tutorial, we show how to perform such simulations with the newly released MLatom 3.5.0 on an example reproducing the above PNAS paper.
