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.

Conformational dynamics of trialanine in water. 2. Comparison of AMBER, CHARMM, GROMOS, and OPLS force fields to NMR and infrared experiments

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of six popular force fields, including the AMBER, CHARMM, GROMOS, and OPLS models, is performed using 20 ns long molecular-dynamics simulations.

Computational searching and mutagenesis suggest a structure for the pentameric transmembrane domain of phospholamban.

TL;DR: It is shown that for phospholamban, the global search can be further simplified by reducing the problem to two- body, rather than many-body, interactions, and this method of a constrained global search combined with experimental mutagenesis data yields a three-dimensional structure.

Simulated surface tensions of common water models.

TL;DR: It is shown that a variety of simulation conditions can affect the final surface tension values and the SPC/E and TIP6P models provide the best agreement with experiment.

Simulation of adsorption of DNA on carbon nanotubes.

TL;DR: Molecular dynamics simulations of DNA adsorption on a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) in an aqueous environment show that DNA binds to the external surface of an uncharged or positively charged SWNT on a time scale of a few hundred picoseconds.

Mechanism of Membrane Curvature Sensing by Amphipathic Helix Containing Proteins

TL;DR: State-of-the-art atomistic simulation is used to explore the packing defect structure of curved membranes, and the effect of this structure on the folding of H0, suggesting H0 folding is a cooperative process in which the folding peptide changes the defect structure relative to an unperturbed membrane.

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.
