ONIOM

The ONIOM (our own n-layered integrated molecular orbital and molecular mechanics) is a computational approach developed by Morokuma and co-workers. ONIOM is the hybrid method that enables different ab initio or semi-empirical methods to be applied to different parts of a molecule/system and combined to produce reliable geometry and energy at reduced computational time.[1][2][3]

ONIOM computational approach was found particularly useful for biomolecular systems [4] as well as for transition metal complexes and catalysts.[5]
