Description of the forcefield, semiempirical, ab initio and density functional methods, advantages and disadvantages. Discovering the balance between the model ant the calculation methods. The algorithm of the choice of appropriate model and calculation method. Short description of the basic rules and mathematical background of theoretical chemistry. calculation of the electronic structure of atoms and molecules. Calculation the equilibrium conformations of molecules, the role of the entropy in the interactions of bioactive molecules and its calculation. Description of the correlation between the reactivity and the temperature. Examples at molecular level. Considering the molecular environment: explicit and implicit methods. Interesting examples and applications in pharmacy.
