This article forms a book chapter in Quantum Mechanics In Drug Discovery which is part of the Methods in Molecular Biology book series.

In this article, we discuss the use of quantum mechanics in understanding receptor-ligand interactions and chemical reactions.

The chapter includes:

- an overview of the use of quantum mechanics methods in drug design and drug discovery
- presentation of the most popular quantum mechanics methods and software packages
- discussion of recent representative applications in drug design and drug discovery
