Single-molecule pulling simulations can discern active from inactive enzyme inhibitors.

TL;DR: An in silico approach to study molecular interactions and to compare the binding characteristics of ligand analogues was devised, hypothesized an interaction model that both explained the biological activity of known ligands, and provided insight into designing novel enzyme inhibitors.

Helical ice-sheets inside carbon nanotubes in the physiological condition

TL;DR: In this article, molecular dynamics simulations were performed on nanotube segments of various diameters submerged in water, and it was shown that water molecules can exist inside the nanotubes segments, and that the water molecules inside the tubes tend to organize themselves into a highly hydrogen-bonded network, i.e., solid-like wrapped-around ice sheets.

Improved simulation of liquid water by molecular dynamics

TL;DR: 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.

Molecular dynamics of liquid n-butane near its boiling point

TL;DR: The self-diffusion coefficient of n-butane is approximately 6.0 × 10−5 cm2/s and the corresponding velocity autocorrelation function displays practically no cage effect, differing markedly from argon and other simple fluids.
