Canonical dynamics: Equilibrium phase-space distributions

TL;DR: The dynamical steady-state probability density is found in an extended phase space with variables x, p/sub x/, V, epsilon-dot, and zeta, where the x are reduced distances and the two variables epsilus-dot andZeta act as thermodynamic friction coefficients.

GROMACS 4: Algorithms for highly efficient, load-balanced, and scalable molecular simulation

TL;DR: A new implementation of the molecular simulation toolkit GROMACS is presented which now both achieves extremely high performance on single processors from algorithmic optimizations and hand-coded routines and simultaneously scales very well on parallel machines.

A unified formulation of the constant temperature molecular dynamics methods

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the canonical distribution in both momentum and coordinate space with three recently proposed constant temperature molecular dynamics methods by: (i) Nose (Mol. Phys., to be published); (ii) Hoover et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 63 (1983); and (iii) Haile and Gupta [J. Chem. Phys. 79, 3067 (1983).

LINCS : A linear constraint solver for molecular simulations

TL;DR: Although the derivation of the algorithm is presented in terms of matrices, no matrix matrix multiplications are needed and only the nonzero matrix elements have to be stored, making the method useful for very large molecules.

Relationship between the inhibition constant (K1) and the concentration of inhibitor which causes 50 per cent inhibition (I50) of an enzymatic reaction.

TL;DR: The analysis described shows K I does not equal I 50 when competitive inhibition kinetics apply; however, K I is equal to I 50 under conditions of either noncompetitive or uncompetitive kinetics.
