Multiconfigurational molecular dynamics with quantum transitions: Multiple proton transfer reactions
We present the new method ‘‘multiconfigurational molecular dynamics with quantum transitions’’ ~MC-MDQT! for the simulation of processes involving multiple proton transfer reactions. MC-MDQT is a mixed quantum/classical molecular dynamics method that allows the quantum mechanical treatment of the nuclear motion of multiple hydrogen atoms and accurately describes branching processes ~i.e., proce...
متن کاملExplicit proton transfer in classical molecular dynamics simulations
We present Hydrogen Dynamics (HYDYN), a method that allows explicit proton transfer in classical force field molecular dynamics simulations at thermodynamic equilibrium. HYDYN reproduces the characteristic properties of the excess proton in water, from the special pair dance, to the continuous fluctuation between the limiting Eigen and Zundel complexes, and the water reorientation beyond the fi...
متن کاملVariable-charge interatomic potentials for molecular-dynamics simulations of TiO2
An interatomic potential model has been developed for molecular-dynamics simulations of TiO2 ~rutile! based on the formalism of Streitz and Mintmire @J. Adhes. Sci. Technol. 8, 853 ~1994!#, in which atomic charges vary dynamically according to the generalized electronegativity equalization principle. The present model potential reproduces the vibrational density of states, the pressure-dependen...
متن کاملDeducing hydration sites of a protein from molecular dynamics simulations.
Invariant water molecules that are of structural or functional importance to proteins are detected from their presence in the same location in different crystal structures of the same protein or closely related proteins. In this study we have investigated the location of invariant water molecules from MD simulations of ribonuclease A, HIV1-protease and Hen egg white lysozyme. Snapshots of MD tr...
متن کاملRole of atomic charge transfer on sintering of TiO2 nanoparticles: Variable-charge molecular dynamics
The stability of surface structure and space-charge distribution in free TiO2 nanoparticles are investigated for both rutile and anatase phases using a variable-charge interaction potential in which atomic charges vary dynamically depending on their environment. We find the dynamic charge transfer: ~i! enhances atomic diffusion at surfaces of the spherical nanoparticles at high temperatures; an...
