TLDR
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.Abstract:
For molecular dynamics simulations of hydrated proteins a simple yet reliable model for the intermolecular potential for water is required. Such a model must be an effective pair potential valid for liquid densities that takes average many-body interactions into account. We have developed a three-point charge model (on hydrogen and oxygen positions) with a Lennard-Jones 6–12 potential on the oxygen positions only. Parameters for the model were determined from 12 molecular dynamics runs covering the two-dimensional parameter space of charge and oxygen repulsion. Both potential energy and pressure were required to coincide with experimental values. The model has very satisfactory properties, is easily incorporated into protein-water potentials, and requires only 0.25 sec computertime per dynamics step (for 216 molecules) on a CRAY-1 computer.read more

A reoptimized GROMOS force field for hexopyranose‐based carbohydrates accounting for the relative free energies of ring conformers, anomers, epimers, hydroxymethyl rotamers, and glycosidic linkage conformers
TL;DR: The new 56ACARBO force field is characterized by the formulation of systematic build‐up rules for the automatic generation of force‐field topologies over a large class of compounds including (but not restricted to) unfunctionalized polyhexopyranoses with arbritrary connectivities.

Molecular simulation study of structural and dynamic properties of mixed DPPC/DPPE bilayers
Sukit Leekumjorn,Amadeu K. Sum +1 more
TL;DR: In-depth analysis of the hydrogen-bond distribution in DPPE molecules shows that the amine groups strongly interact with the phosphate and carbonyl groups through inter/intramolecular hydrogen bonds, which yields a bilayer structure with D PPE headgroups preferentially located near the lipid phosphate and ester oxygens.

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.

Dynamics of folded proteins
TL;DR: The dynamics of a folded globular protein have been studied by solving the equations of motion for the atoms with an empirical potential energy function and suggest that the protein interior is fluid-like in that the local atom motions have a diffusional character.
