Interaction of the Disaccharide Trehalose with a Phospholipid Bilayer: A Molecular Dynamics Study

TL;DR: In this study, molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate the interaction of trehalose with a phospholipid bilayer at atomistic resolution and show that trehalOSE is able to minimize the disruptive effect of the elevated temperature and stabilize the bilayer structure.

Molecular dynamics simulations of the unfolding of barnase in water and 8 m aqueous urea

TL;DR: The results of the simulations in urea suggest a mechanism at the molecular level for its well-known enhancement of the denaturation of proteins in terms of site-directed mutagenesis and the relative stability of the different elements of secondary structure.

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 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.
