Summary
Recent applications of molecular dynamics simulations are presented, which afford detailed insights into the dynamics of chemical processes. Examples comprise structure and dynamics of vanadium and uranium complexes in aqueous solution, as well as the enantioselectivity of a lipase-catalyzed saponification, optimized by directed evolution.
