Calculating potentials of mean force from steered molecular dynamics simulations.
Steered molecular dynamics (SMD) permits efficient investigations of molecular processes by focusing on selected degrees of freedom. We explain how one can, in the framework of SMD, employ Jarzynski's equality (also known as the nonequilibrium work relation) to calculate potentials of mean force (PMF). We outline the theory that serves this purpose and connects nonequilibrium processes (such as...
متن کاملIon Pair Potentials-of-mean-force in Water
Motivated by the surprising dielectric model predictions of alkali-halide ion pair potentials-of-mean-force in water due to Rashin, we reanalyze the theoretical bases of that comparison. We discuss recent, pertinent molecular simulation and integral equation results that have appeared for these systems. We implement di-electric model calculations to check the basic features of Rashin's calculat...
متن کاملDirect measurement of the rupture force of single pair of decorin interactions.
Decorin is one important member of the family of small leucine-rich proteoglycans, which are widely distributed in connective tissues in the body such as tendon and ligament. Decorin may be responsible for collagen fibril connection in those tissues. A recent hypothesis suggests that decorin may bind to collagen with its core protein while binding to another decorin through the interaction with...

متن کاملSolvation Force in Hard Ellipsoid Molecular Liquids with Rod-Sphere and Rod- Surface Interactions
In previous work, one of us calculated the Solvation force of hard ellipsoid fluid with hard Gaussian overlap potential using hard needle wall interaction and non-linear equation proposed by Grimson- Rickyazen. In present work, using density functional theory and extended restricted orientation model, the solvation force of hard ellipsoid fluid in presence of more realistic rod- sphere and rod-...
