TLDR
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 and dissipation in enzyme catalysis

TL;DR: This work finds a minimal role for nonlocal vibrational dynamics in enzyme catalysis, and it supports a model in which nanometer-scale protein fluctuations statistically modulate—or gate—the barrier for the intrinsic reaction.

The relaxed complex method: Accommodating receptor flexibility for drug design with an improved scoring scheme.

TL;DR: The relaxed complex method recognizes that ligand may bind to conformations that occur only rarely in the dynamics of the receptor, and is capable of finding the best ligand enzyme complexes.

Drug Discovery Using Chemical Systems Biology: Weak Inhibition of Multiple Kinases May Contribute to the Anti-Cancer Effect of Nelfinavir

TL;DR: The results suggest that Nelfinavir is able to inhibit multiple members of the protein kinase-like superfamily, which are involved in the regulation of cellular processes vital for carcinogenesis and metastasis.

Structure and dynamics of the active site gorge of acetylcholinesterase: synergistic use of molecular dynamics simulation and X-ray crystallography.

TL;DR: Simulation of the active site of acetylcholinesterase from Torpedo californica suggests that a bis‐quaternary decamethonium (DECA) ion, acquired during enzyme purification, resides in the gorge and appears to stabilize part of the gorge wall through electrostatic interactions.

The Permeability Enhancing Mechanism of DMSO in Ceramide Bilayers Simulated by Molecular Dynamics

TL;DR: The results are consistent with the experimental evidence that high concentrations of DMSO fluidize the stratum corneum lipids and enhance permeability, and the liquid-crystalline phase of ceramides is expected to be markedly more permeable to solutes than the gel phase.

Computer "Experiments" on Classical Fluids. I. Thermodynamical Properties of Lennard-Jones Molecules

TL;DR: In this article, the equilibrium properties of a system of 864 particles interacting through a Lennard-Jones potential have been integrated for various values of the temperature and density, relative, generally, to a fluid state.

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 Study of Liquid Water

TL;DR: In this paper, a sample of water, consisting of 216 rigid molecules at mass density 1 gm/cm3, has been simulated by computer using the molecular dynamics technique, subject to an effective pair potential that incorporates the principal structural effects of manybody interactions in real water.

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.
