Keywords:Fragment molecular orbital method

Molecular modelling of actinide interaction with large biomolecules by quantum chemical
calculations is restricted by request for huge computational resources. We challenged this problem by applying Fragment Molecular Orbital (FMO) method. Here, interaction of Eu3+ with Ca-binding protein calmodulin was studied.
