This content is a preprint and has not undergone peer review at the time of posting.

Abstract

The application of the Quantum Guided Molecular Mechanics (Q2MM) method to transition states of enzymatic reactions to generate a transition state force field (TSFF) with the functional form of AMBER. The differences to fitting of small-molecule TSFFs and the similarities of the approach to transfer learning are discussed. The application to the transition state of the second hydride transfer in HMGCoA Reductase from Pseudomonas mevalonii is discussed.
