Main Results:

  • LREC method successfully extended for multipolar/polarizable QM/MM simulations.
  • Reaction barriers and QM-MM interaction energies converged with a LREC cutoff of 20-25 Å.
  • LREC approach integrates smoothly with standard MM methods like shifting and Ewald summation.

Conclusions:

  • The extended LREC method provides accurate and efficient simulations for large QM/MM systems.
  • The QM(LREC)/MM(PME) combination offers an optimal balance of simplicity, speed, and accuracy.
  • This advancement is crucial for detailed molecular modeling and biophysical studies.
