DISCOVERY
New method calculates equilibrium constant at the small scale
Mixing computational chemistry and theoretical math proved a winning formula for Emory chemist James Kindt and graduate students Xiaokun Zhang, Lara Patel, Olivia Beckwith and Robert Schneider. The result? A new, fast method to calculate equilibrium constants using small-scale simulations -- even when the Law of Mass Action does not apply.
