70   \section{Introduction}
71  
72   One of the most important tasks in the simulation of biochemical
73 < systems is the proper depiction of water and water solvation. In fact,
74 < the bulk of the calculations performed in solvated simulations are of
75 < interactions with or between solvent molecules. Thus, the outcomes of
76 < these types of simulations are highly dependent on the physical
77 < properties of water, both as individual molecules and in clusters or
78 < bulk. Due to the fact that explicit solvent accounts for a massive
79 < portion of the calculations, it necessary to simplify the solvent to
70 < some extent in order to complete simulations in a reasonable amount of
71 < time. In the case of simulating water in biomolecular studies, the
72 < balance between accurate properties and computational efficiency is
73 < especially delicate, and it has resulted in a variety of different
74 < water models.\cite{Jorgensen83,Berendsen87,Jorgensen00} Many of these
75 < models predict specific properties more accurately than their
76 < predecessors, but often at the cost of other properties or of computer
77 < time. As an example, compare TIP3P or TIP4P to TIP5P. TIP5P improves
78 < upon the structural and transport properties of water relative to the
79 < previous TIP models, yet this comes at a greater than 50\% increase in
80 < computational cost.\cite{Jorgensen01,Jorgensen00} One recently
81 < developed model that succeeds in both retaining the accuracy of system
82 < properties and simplifying calculations to increase computational
83 < efficiency is the Soft Sticky Dipole water model.\cite{Ichiye96}
73 > systems is the proper depiction of the aqueous environment of the
74 > molecules of interest.  In some cases (such as in the simulation of
75 > phospholipid bilayers), the majority of the calculations that are
76 > performed involve interactions with or between solvent molecules.
77 > Thus, the properties one may observe in biochemical simulations are
78 > going to be highly dependent on the physical properties of the water
79 > model that is chosen.
80  
81 < The Soft Sticky Dipole (SSD)\ water model was developed by Ichiye
82 < \emph{et al.} as a modified form of the hard-sphere water model
83 < proposed by Bratko, Blum, and Luzar.\cite{Bratko85,Bratko95} SSD
84 < consists of a single point dipole with a Lennard-Jones core and a
85 < sticky potential that directs the particles to assume the proper
86 < hydrogen bond orientation in the first solvation shell. Thus, the
87 < interaction between two SSD water molecules \emph{i} and \emph{j} is
88 < given by the potential
81 > There is an especially delicate balance between computational
82 > efficiency and the ability of the water model to accurately predict
83 > the properties of bulk
84 > water.\cite{Jorgensen83,Berendsen87,Jorgensen00} For example, the
85 > TIP5P model improves on the structural and transport properties of
86 > water relative to the previous TIP models, yet this comes at a greater
87 > than 50\% increase in computational
88 > cost.\cite{Jorgensen01,Jorgensen00}
89 >
90 > One recently developed model that largely succeeds in retaining the
91 > accuracy of bulk properties while greatly reducing the computational
92 > cost is the Soft Sticky Dipole (SSD) water
93 > model.\cite{Ichiye96,Ichiye96b,Ichiye99,Ichiye03} The SSD model was
94 > developed by Ichiye \emph{et al.} as a modified form of the
95 > hard-sphere water model proposed by Bratko, Blum, and
96 > Luzar.\cite{Bratko85,Bratko95} SSD is a {\it single point} model which
97 > has an interaction site that is both a point dipole along with a
98 > Lennard-Jones core.  However, since the normal aligned and
99 > anti-aligned geometries favored by point dipoles are poor mimics of
100 > local structure in liquid water, a short ranged ``sticky'' potential
101 > is also added.  The sticky potential directs the molecules to assume
102 > the proper hydrogen bond orientation in the first solvation
103 > shell.  
104 >
105 > The interaction between two SSD water molecules \emph{i} and \emph{j}
106 > is given by the potential
107   \begin{equation}
108   u_{ij} = u_{ij}^{LJ} (r_{ij})\ + u_{ij}^{dp}
109 < (\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_i,\boldsymbol{\Omega}_j)\ +
109 > ({\bf r}_{ij},{\bf \Omega}_i,{\bf \Omega}_j)\ +
110   u_{ij}^{sp}
111 < (\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_i,\boldsymbol{\Omega}_j),
111 > ({\bf r}_{ij},{\bf \Omega}_i,{\bf \Omega}_j),
112   \end{equation}
113 < where the $\mathbf{r}_{ij}$ is the position vector between molecules
114 < \emph{i} and \emph{j} with magnitude equal to the distance $r_{ij}$, and
115 < $\boldsymbol{\Omega}_i$ and $\boldsymbol{\Omega}_j$ represent the
116 < orientations of the respective molecules. The Lennard-Jones, dipole,
117 < and sticky parts of the potential are giving by the following
104 < equations:
113 > where the ${\bf r}_{ij}$ is the position vector between molecules
114 > \emph{i} and \emph{j} with magnitude $r_{ij}$, and
115 > ${\bf \Omega}_i$ and ${\bf \Omega}_j$ represent the orientations of
116 > the two molecules. The Lennard-Jones and dipole interactions are given
117 > by the following familiar forms:
118   \begin{equation}
119 < u_{ij}^{LJ}(r_{ij}) = 4\epsilon \left[\left(\frac{\sigma}{r_{ij}}\right)^{12}-\left(\frac{\sigma}{r_{ij}}\right)^{6}\right],

120 > \left[\left(\frac{\sigma}{r_{ij}}\right)^{12}-\left(\frac{\sigma}{r_{ij}}\right)^{6}\right]
121 > \ ,
122   \end{equation}
123 + and
124   \begin{equation}
125 < u_{ij}^{dp} = \frac{\boldsymbol{\mu}_i\cdot\boldsymbol{\mu}_j}{r_{ij}^3}-\frac{3(\boldsymbol{\mu}_i\cdot\mathbf{r}_{ij})(\boldsymbol{\mu}_j\cdot\mathbf{r}_{ij})}{r_{ij}^5}\ ,
125 > u_{ij}^{dp} = \frac{|\mu_i||\mu_j|}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r_{ij}^3} \left(
126 > \hat{\bf u}_i \cdot \hat{\bf u}_j - 3(\hat{\bf u}_i\cdot\hat{\bf
127 > r}_{ij})(\hat{\bf u}_j\cdot\hat{\bf r}_{ij}) \right)\ ,
128   \end{equation}
129 + where $\hat{\bf u}_i$ and $\hat{\bf u}_j$ are the unit vectors along
130 + the dipoles of molecules $i$ and $j$ respectively. $|\mu_i|$ and
131 + $|\mu_j|$ are the strengths of the dipole moments, and $\hat{\bf
132 + r}_{ij}$ is the unit vector pointing from molecule $j$ to molecule
133 + $i$.
134 +
135 + The sticky potential is somewhat less familiar:
136   \begin{equation}
137   u_{ij}^{sp}
138 < (\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_i,\boldsymbol{\Omega}_j) =
139 < \frac{\nu_0}{2}[s(r_{ij})w(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_i,\boldsymbol{\Omega}_j) + s^\prime(r_{ij})w^\prime(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_i,\boldsymbol{\Omega}_j)]\ ,
138 > ({\bf r}_{ij},{\bf \Omega}_i,{\bf \Omega}_j) =
139 > \frac{\nu_0}{2}[s(r_{ij})w({\bf r}_{ij},{\bf \Omega}_i,{\bf \Omega}_j)
140 > + s^\prime(r_{ij})w^\prime({\bf r}_{ij},{\bf \Omega}_i,{\bf
141 > \Omega}_j)]\ .
142 > \label{stickyfunction}
143   \end{equation}
144 < where $\boldsymbol{\mu}_i$ and $\boldsymbol{\mu}_j$ are the dipole
145 < unit vectors of particles \emph{i} and \emph{j} with magnitude 2.35 D,
146 < $\nu_0$ scales the strength of the overall sticky potential, and $s$
147 < and $s^\prime$ are cubic switching functions. The $w$ and $w^\prime$
148 < functions take the following forms:
144 > Here, $\nu_0$ is a strength parameter for the sticky potential, and
145 > $s$ and $s^\prime$ are cubic switching functions which turn off the
146 > sticky interaction beyond the first solvation shell. The $w$ function
147 > can be thought of as an attractive potential with tetrahedral
148 > geometry:
149   \begin{equation}
150 < w(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_i,\boldsymbol{\Omega}_j)=\sin\theta_{ij}\sin2\theta_{ij}\cos2\phi_{ij},
150 > w({\bf r}_{ij},{\bf \Omega}_i,{\bf \Omega}_j)=\sin\theta_{ij}\sin2\theta_{ij}\cos2\phi_{ij},
151   \end{equation}
152 + while the $w^\prime$ function counters the normal aligned and
153 + anti-aligned structures favored by point dipoles:
154   \begin{equation}
155 < w^\prime(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_i,\boldsymbol{\Omega}_j) = (\cos\theta_{ij}-0.6)^2(\cos\theta_{ij}+0.8)^2-w^0,
155 > w^\prime({\bf r}_{ij},{\bf \Omega}_i,{\bf \Omega}_j) = (\cos\theta_{ij}-0.6)^2(\cos\theta_{ij}+0.8)^2-w^\circ,
156   \end{equation}
157 < where $w^0 = 0.07715$. The $w$ function is the tetrahedral attractive
158 < term that promotes hydrogen bonding orientations within the first
159 < solvation shell, and $w^\prime$ is a dipolar repulsion term that
160 < repels unrealistic dipolar arrangements within the first solvation
161 < shell. A more detailed description of the functional parts and
162 < variables in this potential can be found in other
163 < articles.\cite{Ichiye96,Ichiye99}
157 > It should be noted that $w$ is proportional to the sum of the $Y_3^2$
158 > and $Y_3^{-2}$ spherical harmonics (a linear combination which
159 > enhances the tetrahedral geometry for hydrogen bonded structures),
160 > while $w^\prime$ is a purely empirical function.  A more detailed
161 > description of the functional parts and variables in this potential
162 > can be found in the original SSD
163 > articles.\cite{Ichiye96,Ichiye96b,Ichiye99,Ichiye03}
164  
165 < Being that this is a one-site point dipole model, the actual force
166 < calculations are simplified significantly. In the original Monte Carlo
167 < simulations using this model, Ichiye \emph{et al.} reported an
168 < increase in calculation efficiency of up to an order of magnitude over
169 < other comparable models, while maintaining the structural behavior of
170 < water.\cite{Ichiye96} In the original molecular dynamics studies, it
171 < was shown that SSD improves on the prediction of many of water's
172 < dynamical properties over TIP3P and SPC/E.\cite{Ichiye99} This
173 < attractive combination of speed and accurate depiction of solvent
174 < properties makes SSD a model of interest for the simulation of large
175 < scale biological systems, such as membrane phase behavior.
165 > Since SSD is a single-point {\it dipolar} model, the force
166 > calculations are simplified significantly relative to the standard
167 > {\it charged} multi-point models. In the original Monte Carlo
168 > simulations using this model, Ichiye {\it et al.} reported that using
169 > SSD decreased computer time by a factor of 6-7 compared to other
170 > models.\cite{Ichiye96} What is most impressive is that this savings
171 > did not come at the expense of accurate depiction of the liquid state
172 > properties.  Indeed, SSD maintains reasonable agreement with the Soper
173 > data for the structural features of liquid
174 > water.\cite{Soper86,Ichiye96} Additionally, the dynamical properties
175 > exhibited by SSD agree with experiment better than those of more
176 > computationally expensive models (like TIP3P and
177 > SPC/E).\cite{Ichiye99} The combination of speed and accurate depiction

179 > simulation of large scale biochemical simulations.
180  
181 < One of the key limitations of this water model, however, is that it
182 < has been parameterized for use with the Ewald Sum technique for the
183 < handling of long-ranged interactions.  When studying very large
184 < systems, the Ewald summation and even particle-mesh Ewald become
185 < computational burdens, with their respective ideal $N^\frac{3}{2}$ and
186 < $N\log N$ calculation scaling orders for $N$ particles.\cite{Darden99}
187 < In applying this water model in these types of systems, it would be
188 < useful to know its properties and behavior with the more
189 < computationally efficient reaction field (RF) technique, and even with
190 < a cutoff that lacks any form of long-range correction. This study
191 < addresses these issues by looking at the structural and transport
192 < behavior of SSD over a variety of temperatures with the purpose of
193 < utilizing the RF correction technique. We then suggest alterations to
194 < the parameters that result in more water-like behavior. It should be
195 < noted that in a recent publication, some of the original investigators of
196 < the SSD water model have put forth adjustments to the SSD water model
197 < to address abnormal density behavior (also observed here), calling the
198 < corrected model SSD1.\cite{Ichiye03} This study will make comparisons
199 < with SSD1's behavior with the goal of improving upon the
200 < depiction of water under conditions without the Ewald Sum.

213 > the magnitude of the reaction field acting on dipole $i$ is
214   \begin{equation}
215   \mathcal{E}_{i} = \frac{2(\varepsilon_{s} - 1)}{2\varepsilon_{s} + 1}
216 < \frac{1}{r_{c}^{3}} \sum_{j\in{\mathcal{R}}} \boldsymbol{\mu}_{j} f(r_{ij})\  ,
216 > \frac{1}{r_{c}^{3}} \sum_{j\in{\mathcal{R}}} {\bf \mu}_{j} f(r_{ij})\  ,
217   \label{rfequation}
218   \end{equation}
219   where $\mathcal{R}$ is the cavity defined by the cutoff radius
220   ($r_{c}$), $\varepsilon_{s}$ is the dielectric constant imposed on the
221 < system (80 in this case), $\boldsymbol{\mu}_{j}$ is the dipole moment
222 < vector of particle \emph{j}, and $f(r_{ij})$ is a cubic switching
221 > system (80 in the case of liquid water), ${\bf \mu}_{j}$ is the dipole
222 > moment vector of particle $j$ and $f(r_{ij})$ is a cubic switching
223   function.\cite{AllenTildesley} The reaction field contribution to the
224 < total energy by particle \emph{i} is given by
225 < $-\frac{1}{2}\boldsymbol{\mu}_{i}\cdot\mathcal{E}_{i}$ and the torque
226 < on dipole \emph{i} by
227 < $\boldsymbol{\mu}_{i}\times\mathcal{E}_{i}$.\cite{AllenTildesley} Use
228 < of reaction field is known to alter the orientational dynamic
229 < properties, such as the dielectric relaxation time, based on changes
230 < in the length of the cutoff radius.\cite{Berendsen98} This variable
231 < behavior makes reaction field a less attractive method than other
232 < methods, like the Ewald summation; however, for the simulation of
233 < large-scale systems, the computational cost benefit of reaction field
234 < is dramatic. To address some of the dynamical property alterations due
235 < to the use of reaction field, simulations were also performed without
236 < a surrounding dielectric and suggestions are presented on how to make
237 < SSD more accurate both with and without a reaction field.

240 < Simulations were performed in both the isobaric-isothermal and

242 < implemented using an integral thermostat and barostat as outlined by
243 < Hoover.\cite{Hoover85,Hoover86} All particles were treated as

251   Integration of the equations of motion was carried out using the
252 < symplectic splitting method proposed by Dullweber \emph{et
253 < al.}\cite{Dullweber1997} The reason for this integrator selection
254 < deals with poor energy conservation of rigid body systems using
255 < quaternions. While quaternions work well for orientational motion in
256 < alternate ensembles, the microcanonical ensemble has a constant energy
257 < requirement that is quite sensitive to errors in the equations of
258 < motion. The original implementation of this code utilized quaternions
259 < for rotational motion propagation; however, a detailed investigation
260 < showed that they resulted in a steady drift in the total energy,
216 < something that has been observed by others.\cite{Laird97}

257 > our limits on energy drift in the microcanonical ensemble were quite

259 > in the symplectic splitting method.  This steady drift in the total
260 > energy has also been observed by Kol {\it et al.}\cite{Laird97}
261  
262   The key difference in the integration method proposed by Dullweber
263   \emph{et al.} is that the entire rotation matrix is propagated from
264 < one time step to the next. In the past, this would not have been as
265 < feasible an option, being that the rotation matrix for a single body is
266 < nine elements long as opposed to 3 or 4 elements for Euler angles and
267 < quaternions respectively. System memory has become much less of an
224 < issue in recent times, and this has resulted in substantial benefits
225 < in energy conservation. There is still the issue of 5 or 6 additional
226 < elements for describing the orientation of each particle, which will
227 < increase dump files substantially. Simply translating the rotation
228 < matrix into its component Euler angles or quaternions for storage

268  
269   The symplectic splitting method allows for Verlet style integration of
270 < both linear and angular motion of rigid bodies. In this integration
271 < method, the orientational propagation involves a sequence of matrix
272 < evaluations to update the rotation matrix.\cite{Dullweber1997} These
273 < matrix rotations are more costly computationally than the simpler
274 < arithmetic quaternion propagation. With the same time step, a 1000 SSD
275 < particle simulation shows an average 7\% increase in computation time
276 < using the symplectic step method in place of quaternions. This cost is
277 < more than justified when comparing the energy conservation of the two
278 < methods as illustrated in figure \ref{timestep}.

356   \subsection{Density Behavior}
316 Initial simulations focused on the original SSD water model, and an
317 average density versus temperature plot is shown in figure
318 \ref{dense1}. Note that the density maximum when using a reaction
319 field appears between 255 and 265 K, where the calculated densities
320 within this range were nearly indistinguishable. The greater certainty
321 of the average value at 260 K makes a good argument for the actual
322 density maximum residing at this midpoint value. Figure \ref{dense1}
323 was constructed using ice $I_h$ crystals for the initial
324 configuration; though not pictured, the simulations starting from ice
325 $I_c$ crystal configurations showed similar results, with a
326 liquid-phase density maximum in this same region (between 255 and 260
327 K). In addition, the $I_c$ crystals are more fragile than the $I_h$
328 crystals, leading to deformation into a dense glassy state at lower
329 temperatures. This resulted in an overall low temperature density
330 maximum at 200 K, while still retaining a liquid state density maximum
331 in common with the $I_h$ simulations.

408  
409   The key feature to recognize in figure \ref{dense1} is the density
410   scaling of SSD relative to other common models at any given
411 < temperature. Note that the SSD model assumes a lower density than any
412 < of the other listed models at the same pressure, behavior which is
413 < especially apparent at temperatures greater than 300 K. Lower than
414 < expected densities have been observed for other systems using a
415 < reaction field for long-range electrostatic interactions, so the most
416 < likely reason for the significantly lower densities seen in these
417 < simulations is the presence of the reaction
418 < field.\cite{Berendsen98,Nezbeda02} In order to test the effect of the
419 < reaction field on the density of the systems, the simulations were
420 < repeated without a reaction field present. The results of these
421 < simulations are also displayed in figure \ref{dense1}. Without
422 < reaction field, the densities increase considerably to more
423 < experimentally reasonable values, especially around the freezing point
424 < of liquid water. The shape of the curve is similar to the curve
425 < produced from SSD simulations using reaction field, specifically the

436   \subsection{Transport Behavior}
401 Of importance in these types of studies are the transport properties
402 of the particles and their change in responce to altering
403 environmental conditions. In order to probe transport, constant energy
404 simulations were performed about the average density uncovered by the
405 constant pressure simulations. Simulations started with randomized
406 velocities and underwent 50 ps of temperature scaling and 50 ps of
407 constant energy equilibration before obtaining a 200 ps
408 trajectory. Diffusion constants were calculated via root-mean square
409 deviation analysis. The averaged results from five sets of NVE
410 simulations are displayed in figure \ref{diffuse}, alongside
411 experimental, SPC/E, and TIP5P
412 results.\cite{Gillen72,Mills73,Clancy94,Jorgensen01}
437  
438 + Accurate dynamical properties of a water model are particularly
439 + important when using the model to study permeation or transport across
440 + biological membranes.  In order to probe transport in bulk water,
441 + constant energy (NVE) simulations were performed at the average
442 + density obtained by the NPT simulations at an identical target
443 + temperature. Simulations started with randomized velocities and
444 + underwent 50 ps of temperature scaling and 50 ps of constant energy

550   This complex interplay between dipole and sticky interactions was
551   remarked upon as a possible reason for the split second peak in the
552 < oxygen-oxygen g(\emph{r}).\cite{Ichiye96} At low temperatures, the
553 < second solvation shell peak appears to have two distinct components

569   From these findings, the split second peak is primarily the product of

986   \section{Conclusions}
910 The density maximum and temperature dependent transport for the SSD
911 water model, both with and without the use of reaction field, were
912 studied via a series of NPT and NVE simulations. The constant pressure
913 simulations of the melting of both $I_h$ and $I_c$ ice showed a
914 density maximum near 260 K. In most cases, the calculated densities
915 were significantly lower than the densities calculated in simulations
916 of other water models. Analysis of particle diffusion showed SSD to
917 capture the transport properties of experimental water well in both
918 the liquid and super-cooled liquid regimes. In order to correct the
919 density behavior, the original SSD model was reparameterized for use
920 both with and without a reaction field (SSD/RF and SSD/E), and
921 comparison simulations were performed with SSD1, the density corrected
922 version of SSD. Both models improve the liquid structure, density
923 values, and diffusive properties under their respective conditions,
924 indicating the necessity of reparameterization when altering the
925 long-range correction specifics. When taking into account the
926 appropriate considerations, these simple water models are excellent
927 choices for representing explicit water in large scale simulations of
928 biochemical systems.
987  
988 + The density maximum and temperature dependence of the self-diffusion
989 + constant were studied for the SSD water model, both with and without
990 + the use of reaction field, via a series of NPT and NVE
991 + simulations. The constant pressure simulations showed a density
992 + maximum near 260 K. In most cases, the calculated densities were
993 + significantly lower than the densities obtained from other water
994 + models (and experiment). Analysis of self-diffusion showed SSD to
995 + capture the transport properties of water well in both the liquid and
996 + super-cooled liquid regimes.
997 +
998 + In order to correct the density behavior, the original SSD model was
999 + reparameterized for use both with and without a reaction field (SSD/RF
1000 + and SSD/E), and comparisons were made with SSD1, Ichiye's density
1001 + corrected version of SSD. Both models improve the liquid structure,
1002 + densities, and diffusive properties under their respective simulation
1003 + conditions, indicating the necessity of reparameterization when
1004 + changing the method of calculating long-range electrostatic
1005 + interactions.  In general, however, these simple water models are
1006 + excellent choices for representing explicit water in large scale
1007 + simulations of biochemical systems.
1008 +
1009 + The existence of a novel low-density ice structure that is preferred
1010 + by the SSD family of water models is somewhat troubling, since liquid
1011 + simulations on this family of water models at room temperature are
1012 + effectively simulations of super-cooled or metastable liquids.  One
1013 + way to de-stabilize this unphysical ice structure would be to make the
1014 + range of angles preferred by the attractive part of the sticky
1015 + potential much narrower.  This would require extensive
1016 + reparameterization to maintain the same level of agreement with the
1017 + experiments.
1018 +
1019 + Additionally, our initial calculations show that the ice-{\it i}
1020 + structure may also be a preferred crystal structure for at least one
1021 + other popular multi-point water model (TIP3P), and that much of the
1022 + simulation work being done using this popular model could also be at
1023 + risk for crystallization into this unphysical structure.  A future
1024 + publication will detail the relative stability of the known ice
1025 + structures for a wide range of popular water models.
