Improved simulation of liquid water by molecular dynamics
TLDR
In this paper, a four-charge model for each molecule and a modification of the prior ''BNS'' interaction was proposed to improve the fidelity of the molecular dynamics simulation, leading to a density maximum near 27°C for the liquid in coexistence with its vapor and to molecular distribution functions in better agreement with x-ray scattering experiments.Abstract:
Molecular dynamics calculations on a classical model for liquid water have been carried out at mass density 1 g/cm3 and at four temperatures. The effective pair potential employed is based on a four‐charge model for each molecule and represents a modification of the prior ``BNS'' interaction. Results for molecular structure and thermodynamic properties indicate that the modification improves the fidelity of the molecular dynamics simulation. In particular, the present version leads to a density maximum near 27°C for the liquid in coexistence with its vapor and to molecular distribution functions in better agreement with x‐ray scattering experiments.read more

Numerical Integration of the Cartesian Equations of Motion of a System with Constraints: Molecular Dynamics of n-Alkanes
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical algorithm integrating the 3N Cartesian equations of motion of a system of N points subject to holonomic constraints is formulated, and the relations of constraint remain perfectly fulfilled at each step of the trajectory despite the approximate character of numerical integration.

CHARMM: A program for macromolecular energy, minimization, and dynamics calculations
Bernard R. Brooks,Robert E. Bruccoleri,Barry D. Olafson,David J. States,S. Swaminathan,Martin Karplus +5 more
TL;DR: The CHARMM (Chemistry at Harvard Macromolecular Mechanics) as discussed by the authors is a computer program that uses empirical energy functions to model macromolescular systems, and it can read or model build structures, energy minimize them by first- or second-derivative techniques, perform a normal mode or molecular dynamics simulation, and analyze the structural, equilibrium, and dynamic properties determined in these calculations.

Interaction Models for Water in Relation to Protein Hydration
TL;DR: In this article, a three-point charge model (on hydrogen and oxygen positions) with a Lennard-Jones 6-12 potential on the oxygen positions only was developed, and parameters for the model were determined from 12 molecular dynamics runs covering the two-dimensional parameter space of charge and oxygen repulsion.
