In the last several years, theory has moved beyond gas-phase quantum mechanics to provide a quantitatively meaningful picture of structure and reactions in solution. The methodology has been applied to a number of important liquid phase problems: thermodynamics, conformational equilibration, binding and recognition, and prediction of reactivity.
