Investigation of Melting by Molecular Dynamics Simulation
The melting of a 64 ion microcrystal of KCI was studied by means of a molecular dynamics computer simulation. We used a central pair interaction with an inverse power law repulsion. The thermodynamics, kinetic and structural properties such as melting temperature, latent heat, mean square displacement, diffusion constant, radial distribution function and bond angle distribution are calculated. ...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulation of membrane proteins.
Membrane proteins play crucial roles in a range of biological processes. High resolution structures provide insights into the functional mechanisms of membrane proteins, but detailed biophysical characterization of membrane proteins is difficult. Complementary to experimental techniques, molecular dynamics simulations is a powerful tool in providing more complete description of the dynamics and...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulation of melittin in a dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine bilayer membrane.
Molecular dynamics trajectories of melittin in an explicit dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) bilayer are generated to study the details of lipid-protein interactions at the microscopic level. Melittin, a small amphipathic peptide found in bee venom, is known to have a pronounced effect on the lysis of membranes. The peptide is initially set parallel to the membrane-solution interfacial reg...
متن کاملResealing dynamics of a cell membrane after electroporation.
The membrane of a living cell consists of a bilayer of amphipolar lipid molecules as well as much larger proteins. Transmembrane potentials of up to 120 mV are physiologic and well tolerated, but when the potential is more than 300 mV, this lipid bilayer is unstable. Pores are then formed through which measurable flow of ions can occur. We follow currents through frog muscle cell membranes unde...
متن کاملPlanar Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Au Clusters in Pushing Process
Based on the fact the manipulation of fine nanoclusters calls for more precise modeling, the aim of this paper is to conduct an atomistic investigation for interaction analysis of particle-substrate system for pushing and positioning purposes. In the present research, 2D molecular dynamics simulations have been used to investigate such behaviors. Performing the planar simulations can provide a ...
