Zinc binding in proteins and solution: A simple but accurate nonbonded representation

TL;DR: It is concluded that the present parameter set, which permits different coordination geometries and ligand exchange for the zinc ion, can be employed effectively for both solution and protein simulations of zinc‐containing systems.

Molecular Dynamics of the KcsA K+ Channel in a Bilayer Membrane

TL;DR: The mechanical response of the channel structure at distances as large as 10-20 A from the ions in the selectivity filter appears to play an important role in the concerted transition.

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 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.
