Fragment molecular orbital
ID: fragment-molecular-orbital
Fragment Molecular Orbital (FMO) theory is a computational approach used in quantum chemistry to analyze and predict the electronic structure and properties of large molecular systems by breaking them down into smaller, more manageable pieces, or "fragments." This method is particularly useful for studying complex molecular assemblies, such as proteins, polymers, and crystals, where dealing with the entire system at once can be computationally prohibitive.
