Equipartition Principle for Internal Coordinate Molecular Dynamics.
The principle of equipartition of (kinetic) energy for all-atom Cartesian molecular dynamics states that each momentum phase space coordinate on the average has ½kT of kinetic energy in a canonical ensemble. This principle is used in molecular dynamics simulations to initialize velocities, and to calculate statistical properties such as entropy. Internal coordinate molecular dynamics (ICMD) mod...
متن کاملInternal Coordinate Molecular Dynamics: A Foundation for Multiscale Dynamics
Internal coordinates such as bond lengths, bond angles, and torsion angles (BAT) are natural coordinates for describing a bonded molecular system. However, the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation methods that are widely used for proteins, DNA, and polymers are based on Cartesian coordinates owing to the mathematical simplicity of the equations of motion. However, constraints are often needed wit...
متن کاملInternal coordinate density of state from molecular dynamics simulation
The vibrational density of states (DoS), calculated from the Fourier transform of the velocity autocorrelation function, provides profound information regarding the structure and dynamic behavior of a system. However, it is often difficult to identify the exact vibrational mode associated with a specific frequency if the DoS is determined based on velocities in Cartesian coordinates. Here, the ...
متن کاملQuasi-Hamiltonian equations of motion for internal coordinate molecular dynamics of polymers
Conventional molecular dynamics simulations macromolecules require long computational times because the most interesting motions are very slow compared with the fast oscillations of bond lengths and bond angles that limit the integration time step. Simulation of dynamics in the space of internal coordinates, that is with bond lengths, bond angles and torsions as independent variables, gives a t...
متن کاملA Rational Approach to Ring Flexibility in Internal Coordinate Dynamics
Internal coordinate molecular dynamics (ICMD) is an efficient method for studying biopolymers, but it is readily applicable only to molecules with tree topologies, that is with no internal flexible rings. Common examples violating this condition are prolines and loops closed by S-S bridges in proteins. The most important such case, however, is nucleic acids because the flexibility of the furano...
