qmmm-adaptiveQM/MM hybrid simulations with adaptive sampling for enzyme mechanisms and reaction dynamics.
Qmmm Adaptive is an agent skill from lamm-mit/scienceclaw. QM/MM hybrid simulations with adaptive sampling for enzyme mechanisms and reaction dynamics. Combines quantum mechanics (reactive center) with molecular mechanics (protein/solvent) for accurate transition state and reaction pathway calculations. Supports metadynamics, umbrella sampling, and accelerated MD for enhanced conformational sampling.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/qmmm_mechanism.py`, `scripts/qmmm_metadynamics.py` and `scripts/qmmm_setup.py`).
It sits in Research & Science. The licence is LGPL-3.0.
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ab9aba1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Ships 6 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pythonFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Qmmm Adaptive loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 601 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

.claude/skills/qmmm-adaptive/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 6 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.QM/MM (Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics) hybrid simulations enable accurate computational investigation of enzyme mechanisms, chemical reactions in biological environments, and reaction pathways. This skill combines quantum mechanical accuracy for reactive regions with classical force fields for the surrounding protein and solvent, enabling study of phenomena inaccessible to pure classical or pure quantum approaches.
Adaptive sampling techniques (metadynamics, umbrella sampling, accelerated MD) overcome energy barriers and efficiently explore reaction coordinates, making QM/MM practical for computational drug discovery and enzyme engineering.
Hybrid System Preparation:
Build QM/MM systems with defined quantum and classical regions:
from qmmm import QMMMSystem
# Define QM region (reaction center)
qm_atoms = ["C1", "C2", "N3", "O4"] # Reactive atoms
qm_method = "MOPAC" # or ORCA, TeraChem for higher accuracy
# Define MM region (protein + solvent)
mm_forcefield = "AMBER14"
# Create hybrid system
system = QMMMSystem(
structure="enzyme_complex.pdb",
qm_atoms=qm_atoms,
qm_method=qm_method,
mm_forcefield=mm_forcefield,
qm_charge=0,
qm_multiplicity=1,
buffer_distance=15 # Å from QM center
)
# Equilibrate in stages
system.equilibrate_qm_region(steps=5000) # Fix MM atoms
system.equilibrate_hybrid(steps=10000) # Allow coupling
system.equilibrate_full(steps=50000) # Full systemKey Parameters:
Free Energy Landscape Calculation:
Map reaction pathways and identify transition states:
# Define collective variable (reaction coordinate)
cv = ReactionCoordinate(
atoms=["C1", "C2"],
type="distance" # or angle, dihedral, custom
)
# Run metadynamics
metad = Metadynamics(
system=qmmm_system,
cv=cv,
sigma=0.1, # Width of Gaussian hills
height=5.0, # Energy height (kcal/mol)
stride=100, # Add hill every N steps
temperature=300, # K
timestep=1.0 # fs
)
trajectory = metad.run(steps=100000) # 100 ps with ~1000 hills
# Get free energy profile
free_energy = trajectory.get_free_energy()
barriers = free_energy.analyze_barriers()Outputs:
Constrained MD for PMF Calculation:
Systematically sample reaction coordinate windows:
# Define windows along reaction coordinate
windows = [(1.5 + i*0.1) for i in range(20)] # 1.5 Å to 3.5 Å
umbrella = UmbrellaSampling(
system=qmmm_system,
cv=cv,
windows=windows,
force_constant=100.0, # kcal/mol/Ų
timestep=1.0,
temperature=300
)
# Run each window (can be parallelized)
umbrella.run_windows(
equilibration=5000, # 5 ps equilibration per window
production=20000, # 20 ps production per window
save_frequency=100, # Save every 0.1 ps
n_parallel=4 # Run 4 windows in parallel
)
# Analyze using WHAM
free_energy = umbrella.analyze_wham()Advantages:
Enhanced Sampling via Potential Energy Boost:
Accelerate sampling by reducing energy barriers:
amd = AcceleratedMD(
system=qmmm_system,
boost_type="dual", # Boost both dihedral + total energy
e_threshold=10.0, # Boost below E+10 kcal/mol
alpha_dihedral=5.0, # Dihedral boost strength
alpha_total=10.0, # Total energy boost strength
timestep=2.0,
temperature=300
)
trajectory = amd.run(steps=200000) # 400 ps with acceleration
# Reweight trajectory to remove boost
free_energy = trajectory.reweight_by_boost_energy()Applications:
Locate and Characterize TS Structures:
# From metadynamics trajectory
ts_finder = TransitionStateFinder(
metad_trajectory=metad_traj,
free_energy_surface=fe_profile
)
# Find TS structure (highest energy on MEP)
ts_structure = ts_finder.find_ts(
refine=True,
opt_method="L-BFGS"
)
# Characterize TS
ts_analysis = ts_structure.analyze()
print(f"TS Energy: {ts_analysis['energy']:.2f} kcal/mol")
print(f"Barrier height: {ts_analysis['barrier_forward']:.2f} kcal/mol")
print(f"Barrier height (reverse): {ts_analysis['barrier_reverse']:.2f} kcal/mol")
print(f"TS geometry verified: {ts_analysis['verified']}")Multi-Step Reaction Mechanisms:
Study sequential bond breaking/forming:
# Example: Serine protease reaction mechanism
# Step 1: Nucleophilic attack (Ser195 on substrate)
# Step 2: Tetrahedral intermediate formation
# Step 3: Acyl-enzyme formation
# Step 4: Water activation and acyl hydrolysis

Qmmm Adaptive fits situations like: research & Science work in your project.
Run `npx skills add lamm-mit/scienceclaw --skill qmmm-adaptive -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/qmmm_adaptive in lamm-mit/scienceclaw) into .claude/skills/qmmm-adaptive in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add lamm-mit/scienceclaw --skill qmmm-adaptive -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/qmmm_adaptive in lamm-mit/scienceclaw) into .agents/skills/qmmm-adaptive in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add lamm-mit/scienceclaw --skill qmmm-adaptive -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/qmmm-adaptive, .gemini/skills/qmmm-adaptive, .github/skills/qmmm-adaptive and .opencode/skills/qmmm-adaptive in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Qmmm Adaptive needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python). Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Qmmm Adaptive is published under the LGPL-3.0 licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.7k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 11k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Qmmm Adaptive: Hypothesis Generation (spacering-net/codeg, 3.9k stars), GitHub Deep Research (bytedance/deer-flow, 84k stars), Nature Paper Card (Yuan1z0825/nature-skills, 47k stars) and Content Research Writer (weapp-tailwindcss/weapp-tailwindcss, 1.9k stars).
