Quantum calculations on ion channels, with related calculations on hydrogen bonding, salt bridges, and water clusters: we have done large scale calculations involving several hundred molecules in an attempt to work out gating and conduction mechanisms for voltage gated potassium channels in particular. Calculations are now underway at high performance computers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and at the City University of New York
