Studying the Stability of a Helical β‐Heptapeptide by Molecular Dynamics Simulations

TL;DR: In this paper, the 3-helical conformation of 1 was shown to be so stable that it was restored spontaneously within 400 ps after unfolding helical structures after molecular dynamics simulations.

Determination of a transition state at atomic resolution from protein engineering data.

TL;DR: The combination of low-resolution C(alpha) results with all-atom molecular dynamics simulations provides a powerful and general method for determining the nature of TSEs from protein engineering data.

Sequence-dependent DNA deformability studied using molecular dynamics simulations

TL;DR: The results suggest that analysis of dimeric steps alone may overlook some conformational features of DNA and provide insight into the mechanism of indirect readout during protein–DNA recognition.

Effectiveness of the Young-Laplace equation at nanoscale.

TL;DR: Using molecular dynamics simulations, a new approach based on the behavior of pressurized water out of a nanopore in a flat plate is developed to calculate the relationship between the water surface curvature and the pressure difference across water surface, and it is found that this relationship will be effective for different pore size, temperature, and even for electrolyte solutions.

Molecular modeling of the enantioselectivity in lipase-catalyzed transesterification reactions.

TL;DR: Two strategies based on the use of subsets for calculating the enantioselectivity in lipase-catalyzed transesterifications using the CHARMM force field were investigated and molecular dynamics was used in the search for low energy conformations.

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.
