Abstract
Divalent ions play important roles in biological systems, such as in various proteins. Studying hydration structures and hydration energies of metal ions is important to elucidate how metal ions function in proteins. In this study, we focus on divalent ions such as Ca2+ and Mg2+ .Cluster hydration structures and two-body interaction energies are calculated using ab initio MO method. Hydration structures in droplet model are calculated using QM/MM method. We reveal that the hydration structures of metal ions in cluster models are not always same as those in droplet model.
