What does chemoinformatics include?

Molecular Modeling: Theoretical chemistry is involved in constructing computer models of molecules and materials, allowing scientists to simulate their behavior, predict properties, and study interactions.

Statistical Mechanics: This field deals with the statistical behavior of particles within a system. It is used to describe the relationship between macroscopic properties (e.g., temperature and pressure) and microscopic behavior (e.g., molecular motion).

Thermodynamics: Theoretical chemistry is used to understand and predict the thermodynamic properties of chemical reactions, such as enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy.

Reaction Mechanisms: Theoretical chemists study the mechanisms of chemical reactions to determine how reactants transform into products and to identify reaction intermediates.

Spectroscopy: Theoretical calculations are used to interpret experimental spectroscopic data, such as UV-Vis, IR, and NMR spectra, to gain insights into molecular structures and properties.

Computational Chemistry:

Computational chemistry is a subfield of theoretical chemistry that specifically focuses on using computer simulations and algorithms to solve complex chemical problems. It involves the following:

• 
  Molecular Dynamics: Computational chemistry simulations involve modeling the motion and behavior of atoms and molecules over time. This is valuable for studying chemical reactions, biological processes, and material properties.
  
• 
  Quantum Chemistry: Computational methods are employed to solve the Schrödinger equation numerically, allowing for accurate calculations of molecular structures, electronic properties, and reaction energies.
  
• 
  Density Functional Theory (DFT): DFT is a widely used computational technique that approximates quantum mechanical calculations, making it more feasible for studying large molecules and solid-state systems.
