Interactive Figure 1. Free energy profile of the reaction of HIV-1 RNase H from string calculations and snapshots from QM/MM dynamics at the DFT/B3LYP level with 6-31+G(d) basisset. Simulations were performed using CHARMM/Q-Chem with full electrostatic embedding. For every window 6.4ps of dynamics were sampled. For more information refer to methods section of paper.
