TLDR
In this paper, a numerical algorithm integrating the 3N Cartesian equations of motion of a system of N points subject to holonomic constraints is formulated, and the relations of constraint remain perfectly fulfilled at each step of the trajectory despite the approximate character of numerical integration.

Computational study of protein specificity: The molecular basis of HIV-1 protease drug resistance

TL;DR: An empirical parameter is proposed, called the free energy/variability value, which combines free energy calculation and sequence analysis to suggest possible drug resistance mutations on the protease and can assist in designing resistance-evading drugs for any target.

QM/MMpol: A Consistent Model for Solute/Solvent Polarization. Application to the Aqueous Solvation and Spectroscopy of Formaldehyde, Acetaldehyde, and Acetone

TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical theory that consistently treats many-body polarization effects in the MM region (QM/MMpol) was presented.

Dynamics of B-DNA on the microsecond time scale.

TL;DR: The essential dynamics of DNA fits well with the pattern of deformation needed to sample uncommon right-handed forms and sample conformations adopted by DNA when bound to proteins.

Molecular dynamics simulations highlight the structural differences among DNA: DNA, RNA:RNA, and DNA:RNA hybrid duplexes

TL;DR: The observation of a stable “B-RNA” structure is somewhat surprising and suggests significant kinetic barriers to structural conversion in RNA structures on a nanosecond time scale.

N-Fused Imidazoles As Novel Anticancer Agents That Inhibit Catalytic Activity of Topoisomerase IIα and Induce Apoptosis in G1/S Phase

TL;DR: N-Fused aminoimidazoles showed potent anticancer activities in kidney and breast cancer cell lines, low toxicity to normal cells, relatively higher potency compared to etoposide and 5-fluorouracil in kidney cancer cell Lines, and potent inhibition in cell migration.

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.
