Molecular dynamics studies of the liquid-vapor interface of water

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of molecular dynamics simulations of the liquid-vapor interface of water were studied and the density profile of the interfacial transition region between liquid and vapor is monotone with a 10% to 90% width of 3.45 A, in good agreement with the value determined from x-ray reflectance measurements, namely 3.30 A.

GENESIS 1.1: A hybrid-parallel molecular dynamics simulator with enhanced sampling algorithms on multiple computational platforms.

TL;DR: The string method and replica‐exchange umbrella sampling with flexible collective variable choice are used for finding the minimum free‐ energy pathway and obtaining free‐energy profiles for conformational changes of a macromolecule.

Conformational properties of glucose-based disaccharides investigated using molecular dynamics simulations with local elevation umbrella sampling.

TL;DR: The results complete the suggestion of a spectrum of approximate transition timescales for carbohydrates up to the disaccharide level, namely: approximately 30 ps (hydroxyl groups), approximately 1 ns (free lactol group, free hydroxymethyl groups), and approximately 10 ns to 2 micros (ring conformation, glycosidic dihedral angles phi and psi).

Nucleation of Methane Hydrates at Moderate Subcooling by Molecular Dynamics Simulations

TL;DR: In this article, a series of nanoscale molecular dynamics simulations of supersaturated water-methane mixtures was performed and it was shown that the order of the crystalline structure increases by decreasing subcooling.

Enveloping distribution sampling: a method to calculate free energy differences from a single simulation.

TL;DR: The authors present a method to calculate free energy differences between two states A and B "on the fly" from a single molecular dynamics simulation of a reference state R using Hamiltonian replica-exchange molecular dynamics of the reference 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.
