Long‐Time Protein Folding Dynamics from Short‐Time Molecular Dynamics Simulations

TL;DR: It is shown how the long-time statistical dynamics of a simple solvated biomolecular system can be well described by a discrete-state Markov chain model constructed from trajectories that are an order of magnitude shorter than the longest relaxation times of the system.

Symplectic Numerical Integrators in Constrained Hamiltonian Systems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the symplecticness of numerical integrators for constrained dynamics, such as occur in molecular dynamics when bond lengths are made rigid in order to overcome stepsize limitations due to the highest frequencies.

Effect of natural mutations of SARS-CoV-2 on spike structure, conformation, and antigenicity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combined cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), binding, and computational analyses to study variant spikes, including one that was involved in transmission between minks and humans, and others that originated and spread in human populations.

Empirical energy functions for energy minimization and dynamics of nucleic acids

TL;DR: In this paper, an improved empirical energy function for energy minimization and dynamics calculations of nucleic acids is developed and evaluated by an examination of its representation of both static and dynamic properties of model systems.

Sampling of slow diffusive conformational transitions with accelerated molecular dynamics

TL;DR: A unified approach of efficiently sampling both the torsional degrees of freedom and the diffusive motions concurrently is presented and it is shown that this approach samples the configuration space more efficiently than normal molecular dynamics and that ensemble averages converge faster to the correct values.

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.
