Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Chemical Reactions for Use in Education
The computational power of computers available to students has increased to the point that it is now feasible to build interactive molecular simulations that can be used in education. In this paper, the simulation engine of an open source program called the Molecular Workbench (1), which can simulate thermodynamics of chemical reactions, is described. While calculating the time evolution of the...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics of Chemical Reactions
Molecular beam and spectroscopic techniques allow detailed study of many dynamical properties of single reactive collisions. The chemical scope of these methods is now very wide and includes certain unimolecular and termolecular reactions as well as bimolecular reactions and energy transfer processes. Results for more than 50 families of A + BC — AB + C atom transfer reactions reveal simple imp...
متن کاملDescribing Protein Folding Kinetics by Molecular Dynamics Simulations. 1. Theory†
A rigorous formalism for the extraction of state-to-state transition functions from a Boltzmann-weighted ensemble of microcanonical molecular dynamics simulations has been developed as a way to study the kinetics of protein folding in the context of a Markov chain. Analysis of these transition functions for signatures of Markovian behavior is described. The method has been applied to an example...
متن کاملDetermining equilibrium constants for dimerization reactions from molecular dynamics simulations
With today's available computer power, free energy calculations from equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations "via counting" become feasible for an increasing number of reactions. An example is the dimerization reaction of transmembrane alpha-helices. If an extended simulation of the two helices covers sufficiently many dimerization and dissociation events, their binding free energy is readil...
متن کاملSurface patterning by atomically-controller chemical forces: molecular dynamics simulations
The use of atomi~ly-controlled reactive chemical forces via modified sca~~g-probe microscope tips provides a potentially powerful way of building nanodevices. In this work, we use atomistic simulations to explore the feasibility of one such system, namely the selective abs~action of hydrogen from a diamond surface using a tip with a chemisorbed ethynyl radical. We characterize reaction rates an...
