Structures of Cl-(H2O)n and F -(H2O)n (n=2,3,..., 15) clusters. Molecular dynamics computer simulations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors have performed molecular dynamics calculations on Cl−(H2O)n and F −(H 2 O)n (n=2,3,...,15) clusters and showed that the F− ion is solvated in these clusters, while Cl− remains attached to the water in the clusters.

An integrate-over-temperature approach for enhanced sampling.

TL;DR: A simple method is introduced to achieve efficient random walking in the energy space in molecular dynamics simulations which thus enhances the sampling over a large energy range.

Sitting at the Edge: How Biomolecules use Hydrophobicity to Tune Their Interactions and Function

TL;DR: Molecular simulations with specialized sampling techniques are used to show that water density fluctuations are similarly enhanced, even near hydrophobic surfaces of complex biomolecules, situating them at the edge of a dewetting transition.

Graphitic carbon-water nonbonded interaction parameters

TL;DR: In this article, the Moller-Plesset perturbation theory of the second order (MP2) was employed to compute the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-water interaction energies, with proper size of basis sets and energy component analysis to extrapolate to infinite-sized graphene limit.

Mechanism of ABC transporters: A molecular dynamics simulation of a well characterized nucleotide-binding subunit

TL;DR: A model for the catalytic cycle of ABC transporters is proposed that shows how substrate-binding and transport by the TMDs may be coordinated and coupled with ATP binding and hydrolysis in the NBDs.

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.
