Can Schrodinger's Equation predict steric clashes

AI Thread Summary
Ben, a newcomer to the forum, is exploring the application of Schrödinger's equation in predicting steric clashes of functional groups in multi-domain proteins and enzymes. While he acknowledges that, in theory, it could model these interactions, he concludes that practical implementation is unlikely due to complexity. He is focusing on the active sites of proteins and enzymes and humorously notes the need for significant computational power, likening it to using a NASA supercomputer for calculations.

Hi All:
My name is Ben, and l am new to the forum. Currently doing a Med Degree, but already have an Engineering Degree and Masters.
With all Schrodinger's equation is able to do, could it also predict and model the steric clashes of functional groups in multi domain proteins, or enzymes?

For all practical purposes no, although it would be possible in theory.
 
What if, l construct a series of Schrodinger's equations, with the probability distribution when the two molecules are in steric hindrance at 1. I am currently looking at only the "active sites" of the proteins and enzymes. I will need the NASA super computer to do the calcs. :)
 
I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
