Enhanced Concentration of Polarizable Anions at the Liquid Water Surface: SHG Spectroscopy and MD Simulations of Sodium Thiocyanide

TL;DR: In this paper, a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the liquid/air interface of aqueous sodium thiocyanide at varying salt concentrations is presented, which is in accord with molecular dynamics simulations in slab geometry, which predict an appreciable surface enhancement of SCN-.

Extending molecular dynamics time scales with milestoning: Example of complex kinetics in a solvated peptide

TL;DR: The kinetics of a conformational transition in a blocked alanine is computed and shown to be accurate, more efficient than straightforward molecular dynamics by a factor of about 9, and nonexponential.

Structural Determinants of MscL Gating Studied by Molecular Dynamics Simulations

TL;DR: The gating process was investigated through simulations of the bare protein under conditions of constant surface tension and under a range of conditions, the transmembrane helices flattened as the pore widened.

A new coarse-grained model for water: the importance of electrostatic interactions.

TL;DR: This big multipole water (BMW) model represents a qualitative improvement over existing CG water models; for example, it reproduces the dipole potential in membrane-water interface when compared to experiment, with modest additional computational cost as compared to the popular MARTINI CG model.

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.
