Zeolite catalysts are widely used in many important petroleum processes, but still require detailed characterization to best exploit their reactivity. We introduce our quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) simulation strategy to investigate Zeolite reactivity and detail how dynamics simulations can greatly enhance our understanding of elementary catalytic processes in Zeolites.
