Validation of molecular dynamics simulations of biomolecules using NMR spin relaxation as benchmarks: Application to the AMBER99SB force field

TL;DR: Comparison of experimental and back-calculated NMR spin-relaxation data provides a more objective way of assessing the quality of the trajectory than order parameters alone, and shows significantly improved agreement with experimental NMR data for the AMber99SB force field as compared to AMBER99.

On the truncation of long-range electrostatic interactions in DNA.

TL;DR: To perform accurate and stable simulations of highly charged biological macromolecules, it is recommended that the atom-based force-shift method or the PME method should be used for the long-range electrostatics interactions.

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Melittin in a Dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine Bilayer Membrane

TL;DR: Calculated density profiles and order parameters of the lipid acyl chains averaged over the molecular dynamics trajectory indicate that melittin has effects on both layers of the membrane.

Absolute and relative binding free energy calculations of the interaction of biotin and its analogs with streptavidin using molecular dynamics/free energy perturbation approaches

TL;DR: These results are consistent with the interpretation that the entropy increase to be expected from hydrophobic interactions from desolvation of biotin is counterbalanced by a decrease in entropy accompanying the formation of buried hydrogen bonds, which have been derived from the apparentlyconflicting experimental data.

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.
