Nuclear quantum effects play a critical role throughout chemistry, biology, and materials science. This Perspective presents the nuclear–electronic orbital (NEO) framework as a viable approach for incorporating nuclear quantum effects into calculations of relatively large, complex systems. The NEO approach treats spe...

Nuclear–electronic orbital (NEO) methods treat specified nuclei, typically protons, quantum mechanically on the same level as electrons within quantum chemical calculations. This approach allows the computationally efficient inclusion of nuclear quantum effects such as nuclear delocalization, anharmonic zero-point en...

Interfacial water structure is theoretically envisioned as the master regulator of electrocatalytic reaction kinetics, but the direct experimental validation of this role has remained a formidable challenge. Probing kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) is paramount to deciphering the elusive proton-coupled electron transfe...

Hydrogen tunneling is central to many chemical and biological processes. Herein, we introduce the vibronic-SHAKE (V-SHAKE) approach to comprehensively sample energy-conserving molecular configurations enabling hydrogen tunneling. A constrained form of nuclear-electronic orbital multistate density functional theory (NEO...

Hydrogen transfer is a critical component of many chemical and biological processes. The ratio of rate constants for hydrogen and deuterium transfer defines the H/D kinetic isotope effect (KIE), which is a powerful tool for elucidating hydrogen transfer mechanisms. Interpretation of experimental H/D KIEs relies on accu...

Molecular dynamics simulations use molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the differences in hydrogen-bonding interactions and conformational motions between the preturnover and midturnover states and provide insights into the critical role of conformational motions and flexibility in regulating PCET reactions a...
