TLDR
Simulations and experiment results suggest that many popular water models do not accurately describe the dynamic nature of the hydrogen bond network of water at room temperature.Abstract:
The effect of salt on the dynamics of water molecules follows the Hofmeister series. For some “structure-making” salts, the self-diffusion coefficient of the water molecules, D, decreases with increasing salt concentration. For other “structure-breaking” salts, D increases with increasing salt concentration. In this work, the concentration and temperature dependence of the self-diffusion of water in electrolyte solutions is studied using molecular dynamics simulations and pulsed-field-gradient NMR experiments; temperature-dependent viscosities are also independently measured. Simulations of rigid, nonpolarizable models at room temperature show that none of the many models tested can reproduce the experimentally observed trend for the concentration dependence of D; that is, the models predict that D decreases with increasing salt concentration for both structure-breaking and structure-making salts. Predictions of polarizable models are not in agreement with experiment either. These results suggest that man...read more

CO2 Diffusion in Various Carbonated Beverages: A Molecular Dynamics Study
Ji Lv,Kaixin Ren,Yakun Chen +2 more
TL;DR: Analyses of hydrogen bonding and the solvent's structural and dynamic properties reveal that the change of CO2 diffusion coefficient is closely associated with the diffusional behavior of the solvent water itself, as a result of changes in the number and strength of hydrogen bonded interactions among the species and solvent.

Solvent Composition Drives the Rebinding Kinetics of Nitric Oxide to Microperoxidase
Padmabati Mondal,Markus Meuwly +1 more
TL;DR: The present simulations suggest that NO rebinding in Mp is primarily driven by thermal fluctuations which is consistent with recent resonance Raman spectroscopy experiments and simulations on MbNO.

Molecular dynamics with coupling to an external bath.
TL;DR: In this paper, a method is described to realize coupling to an external bath with constant temperature or pressure with adjustable time constants for the coupling, which can be easily extendable to other variables and to gradients, and can be applied also to polyatomic molecules involving internal constraints.

A smooth particle mesh Ewald method
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that arbitrary accuracy can be achieved, independent of system size N, at a cost that scales as N log(N), which is comparable to that of a simple truncation method of 10 A or less.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that use of ab initio structural and energetic data by themselves are not sufficient to obtain an adequate backbone representation for peptides and proteins in solution and in crystals.
