Pair correlations in an NaCl-SPC water model simulations versus extended RISM computations.

TL;DR: In this article, the ten pair correlation functions characterizing the equilibrium structure of a simple electrolyte such as NaCl-water were tested against molecular dynamics, constrained dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations employing Ewald and reaction field schemes for a high-temperature, highpressure thermodynamic state.

Conformational transitions of the serotonin 5-HT3receptor.

TL;DR: Cryo-electron microscopy structures of the full-length mouse 5-HT3 receptor in complex with the anti-emetic drug tropisetron, with serotonin, and with serotonin and a positive allosteric modulator are reported, deepening understanding of the gating mechanism of pLGICs and capture ligand binding in unprecedented detail.

Assessing atomistic and coarse-grained force fields for protein-lipid interactions: the formidable challenge of an ionizable side chain in a membrane.

TL;DR: The need for careful parametrization of coarse-grained force fields is illustrated and the utility of atomistic molecular dynamics for providing quantitative thermodynamic and mechanistic analysis of protein-lipid interactions is demonstrated.

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.
