The actual trajectory, along which a dynamical system may move from |

the path which minimizes the time integral of the difference between |

Arising from Lagrangian Mechanics, Hamiltonian Mechanics was |
| 129 |
|
introduced by William Rowan Hamilton in 1833 as a re-formulation of |
| 130 |

classical mechanics. If the potential energy of a system is |

By identifying the coefficients of $dq_k$, $dp_k$ and dt, we can |

An important difference between Lagrangian approach and the |

Hamiltonian approach is that the Lagrangian is considered to be a |
| 191 |

function of the generalized velocities $\dot q_i$ and the |
| 192 |

generalized coordinates $q_i$, while the Hamiltonian is considered |

to be a function of the generalized momenta $p_i$ and the conjugate |

A microscopic state or microstate of a classical system is |
| 241 |
< |
specification of the complete phase space vector of a system at any |
| 242 |
< |
instant in time. An ensemble is defined as a collection of systems |
| 243 |
< |
sharing one or more macroscopic characteristics but each being in a |
| 244 |
< |
unique microstate. The complete ensemble is specified by giving all |
| 245 |
< |
systems or microstates consistent with the common macroscopic |
| 246 |
< |
characteristics of the ensemble. Although the state of each |
| 247 |
< |
individual system in the ensemble could be precisely described at |
| 248 |
< |
any instance in time by a suitable phase space vector, when using |
| 249 |
< |
ensembles for statistical purposes, there is no need to maintain |
| 250 |
< |
distinctions between individual systems, since the numbers of |
| 251 |
< |
systems at any time in the different states which correspond to |
| 252 |
< |
different regions of the phase space are more interesting. Moreover, |
| 253 |
< |
in the point of view of statistical mechanics, one would prefer to |
| 254 |
< |
use ensembles containing a large enough population of separate |
| 255 |
< |
members so that the numbers of systems in such different states can |
| 256 |
< |
be regarded as changing continuously as we traverse different |
| 257 |

regions of the phase space. The condition of an ensemble at any time |

In statistical mechanics, the condition of an ensemble at any time |
| 237 |
|
can be regarded as appropriately specified by the density $\rho$ |
| 238 |

with which representative points are distributed over the phase |
| 239 |

space. The density of distribution for an ensemble with $f$ degrees |

\label{introEquation:densityDistribution} |
| 244 |

\end{equation} |
| 245 |
|
Governed by the principles of mechanics, the phase points change |
| 246 |
< |
their value which would change the density at any time at phase |

< |
space. Hence, the density of distribution is also to be taken as a |

The number of systems $\delta N$ at time $t$ can be determined by, |

\subsubsection{\textbf{Preliminary preparation}} |
| 896 |
|
|
| 897 |
|
When selecting the starting structure of a molecule for molecular |
| 898 |
|
simulation, one may retrieve its Cartesian coordinates from public |
| 899 |
|
databases, such as RCSB Protein Data Bank \textit{etc}. Although |
| 900 |
|
thousands of crystal structures of molecules are discovered every |
| 901 |
|
year, many more remain unknown due to the difficulties of |
| 902 |
< |
purification and crystallization. Even for the molecule with known |
| 903 |
< |
structure, some important information is missing. For example, the |
| 902 |

purification and crystallization. Even for molecules with known |
| 903 |
> |
structure, some important information is missing. For example, a |
| 904 |
|
missing hydrogen atom which acts as donor in hydrogen bonding must |
| 905 |
|
be added. Moreover, in order to include electrostatic interaction, |
| 906 |
|
one may need to specify the partial charges for individual atoms. |
| 907 |
|
Under some circumstances, we may even need to prepare the system in |
| 908 |
< |
a special setup. For instance, when studying transport phenomenon in |
| 909 |
< |
membrane system, we may prepare the lipids in bilayer structure |
| 910 |
< |
instead of placing lipids randomly in solvent, since we are not |
| 911 |

interested in self-aggregation and it takes a long time to happen. |

\subsubsection{\textbf{Minimization}} |
| 914 |
|
|
| 915 |
|
It is quite possible that some of molecules in the system from |
| 916 |
< |
preliminary preparation may be overlapped with each other. This |
| 917 |
< |
close proximity leads to high potential energy which consequently |
| 918 |
< |
jeopardizes any molecular dynamics simulations. To remove these |
| 919 |
< |
steric overlaps, one typically performs energy minimization to find |
| 920 |
< |
a more reasonable conformation. Several energy minimization methods |
| 921 |
< |
have been developed to exploit the energy surface and to locate the |
| 922 |
< |
local minimum. While converging slowly near the minimum, steepest |
| 923 |
< |
descent method is extremely robust when systems are far from |
| 924 |
< |
harmonic. Thus, it is often used to refine structure from |
| 925 |
< |
crystallographic data. Relied on the gradient or hessian, advanced |
| 926 |
< |
methods like conjugate gradient and Newton-Raphson converge rapidly |
| 927 |
< |
to a local minimum, while become unstable if the energy surface is |
| 928 |
< |
far from quadratic. Another factor must be taken into account, when |
| 916 |

preliminary preparation may be overlapping with each other. This |
| 917 |

close proximity leads to high initial potential energy which |

|
choosing energy minimization method, is the size of the system. |
| 930 |
|
Steepest descent and conjugate gradient can deal with models of any |
| 931 |
< |
size. Because of the limit of computation power to calculate hessian |
| 932 |

matrix and insufficient storage capacity to store them, most |

Newton-Raphson methods can not be used with very large models. |

Typically, Heating is performed by assigning random velocities |

according to a Gaussian distribution for a temperature. Beginning at |
| 940 |
< |
a lower temperature and gradually increasing the temperature by |
| 941 |

assigning greater random velocities, we end up with setting the |
| 942 |

temperature of the system to a final temperature at which the |
| 943 |

simulation will be conducted. In heating phase, we should also keep |
| 944 |
< |
the system from drifting or rotating as a whole. Equivalently, the |
| 945 |

net linear momentum and angular momentum of the system should be |
| 946 |

shifted to zero. |

The production run is the most important step of the simulation, in |

It is very important to develop stable and efficient methods to |

integrate the equations of motion of orientational degrees of |

rotational degrees of freedom. However, due to its singularity, the |
| 1162 |

numerical integration of corresponding equations of motion is very |

inefficient and inaccurate. Although an alternative integrator using |
| 1164 |

different sets of Euler angles can overcome this |
| 1165 |
< |
difficulty\cite{Barojas1973}, the computational penalty and the lost |

nonseparable Hamiltonian resulted from quaternion representation, |

where $\eta$ is the viscosity of the solvent and $R$ is the |
| 1845 |
– |
hydrodynamics radius. |
| 1846 |
– |
|
| 1847 |
– |
Other non-spherical shape, such as cylinder and ellipsoid |
| 1848 |
– |
\textit{etc}, are widely used as reference for developing new |
| 1849 |
– |
hydrodynamics theory, because their properties can be calculated |
| 1850 |
– |
exactly. In 1936, Perrin extended Stokes's law to general ellipsoid, |
| 1851 |
– |
also called a triaxial ellipsoid, which is given in Cartesian |
| 1852 |
– |
coordinates by\cite{Perrin1934, Perrin1936} |
| 1853 |
– |
\[ |
| 1854 |
– |
\frac{{x^2 }}{{a^2 }} + \frac{{y^2 }}{{b^2 }} + \frac{{z^2 }}{{c^2 |
| 1855 |
– |
}} = 1 |
| 1856 |
– |
\] |
| 1857 |
– |
where the semi-axes are of lengths $a$, $b$, and $c$. Unfortunately, |
| 1858 |
– |
due to the complexity of the elliptic integral, only the ellipsoid |
| 1859 |
– |
with the restriction of two axes having to be equal, \textit{i.e.} |
| 1860 |
– |
prolate($ a \ge b = c$) and oblate ($ a < b = c $), can be solved |
| 1861 |
– |
exactly. Introducing an elliptic integral parameter $S$ for prolate, |
| 1862 |
– |
\[ |
| 1863 |
– |
S = \frac{2}{{\sqrt {a^2 - b^2 } }}\ln \frac{{a + \sqrt {a^2 - b^2 |
| 1864 |
– |
} }}{b}, |
| 1865 |
– |
\] |
| 1866 |
– |
and oblate, |
| 1867 |
– |
\[ |
| 1868 |
– |
S = \frac{2}{{\sqrt {b^2 - a^2 } }}arctg\frac{{\sqrt {b^2 - a^2 } |
| 1869 |
– |
}}{a} |
| 1870 |
– |
\], |
| 1871 |
– |
one can write down the translational and rotational resistance |
| 1872 |
– |
tensors |
| 1873 |
– |
\[ |
| 1874 |
– |
\begin{array}{l} |
| 1875 |

\Xi _a^{tt} = 16\pi \eta \frac{{a^2 - b^2 }}{{(2a^2 - b^2 )S - 2a}} \\ |
| 1876 |
– |
\Xi _b^{tt} = \Xi _c^{tt} = 32\pi \eta \frac{{a^2 - b^2 }}{{(2a^2 - 3b^2 )S + 2a}} \\ |
| 1877 |
– |
\end{array}, |
| 1878 |

\] |
| 1879 |
– |
and |
| 1880 |
– |
\[ |
| 1881 |
– |
\begin{array}{l} |
| 1882 |

\Xi _a^{rr} = \frac{{32\pi }}{3}\eta \frac{{(a^2 - b^2 )b^2 }}{{2a - b^2 S}} \\ |
| 1883 |
– |
\Xi _b^{rr} = \Xi _c^{rr} = \frac{{32\pi }}{3}\eta \frac{{(a^4 - b^4 )}}{{(2a^2 - b^2 )S - 2a}} \\ |

\subsubsection{\label{introSection:resistanceTensorRegularArbitrary}The Resistance Tensor for Arbitrary Shape} |
| 1888 |
– |
|
| 1889 |
– |
Unlike spherical and other regular shaped molecules, there is not |
| 1890 |
– |
analytical solution for friction tensor of any arbitrary shaped |
| 1891 |
– |
rigid molecules. The ellipsoid of revolution model and general |
| 1892 |
– |
triaxial ellipsoid model have been used to approximate the |
| 1893 |
– |
hydrodynamic properties of rigid bodies. However, since the mapping |
| 1894 |
– |
from all possible ellipsoidal space, $r$-space, to all possible |
| 1895 |
– |
combination of rotational diffusion coefficients, $D$-space is not |
| 1896 |
– |
unique\cite{Wegener1979} as well as the intrinsic coupling between |
| 1897 |
– |
translational and rotational motion of rigid body, general ellipsoid |
| 1898 |
– |
is not always suitable for modeling arbitrarily shaped rigid |
| 1899 |
– |
molecule. A number of studies have been devoted to determine the |
| 1900 |
– |
friction tensor for irregularly shaped rigid bodies using more |
| 1901 |
– |
advanced method where the molecule of interest was modeled by |
| 1902 |
– |
combinations of spheres(beads)\cite{Carrasco1999} and the |
| 1903 |
– |
hydrodynamics properties of the molecule can be calculated using the |
| 1904 |
– |
hydrodynamic interaction tensor. Let us consider a rigid assembly of |
| 1905 |
– |
$N$ beads immersed in a continuous medium. Due to hydrodynamics |
| 1906 |
– |
interaction, the ``net'' velocity of $i$th bead, $v'_i$ is different |
| 1907 |
– |
than its unperturbed velocity $v_i$, |
| 1908 |
– |
\[ |
| 1909 |
– |
v'_i = v_i - \sum\limits_{j \ne i} {T_{ij} F_j } |
| 1910 |
– |
\] |
| 1911 |
– |
where $F_i$ is the frictional force, and $T_{ij}$ is the |
| 1912 |
– |
hydrodynamic interaction tensor. The friction force of $i$th bead is |
| 1913 |
– |
proportional to its ``net'' velocity |
| 1914 |
– |
\begin{equation} |
| 1915 |
– |
F_i = \zeta _i v_i - \zeta _i \sum\limits_{j \ne i} {T_{ij} F_j }. |
| 1916 |
– |
\label{introEquation:tensorExpression} |
| 1917 |
– |
\end{equation} |
| 1918 |
– |
This equation is the basis for deriving the hydrodynamic tensor. In |
| 1919 |
– |
1930, Oseen and Burgers gave a simple solution to Equation |
| 1920 |
– |
\ref{introEquation:tensorExpression} |
| 1921 |
– |
\begin{equation} |
| 1922 |
– |
T_{ij} = \frac{1}{{8\pi \eta r_{ij} }}\left( {I + \frac{{R_{ij} |
| 1923 |
– |
R_{ij}^T }}{{R_{ij}^2 }}} \right). |
| 1924 |
– |
\label{introEquation:oseenTensor} |
| 1925 |
– |
\end{equation} |
| 1926 |
– |
Here $R_{ij}$ is the distance vector between bead $i$ and bead $j$. |
| 1927 |
– |
A second order expression for element of different size was |
| 1928 |
– |
introduced by Rotne and Prager\cite{Rotne1969} and improved by |
| 1929 |
– |
Garc\'{i}a de la Torre and Bloomfield\cite{Torre1977}, |
| 1930 |
– |
\begin{equation} |
| 1931 |
– |
T_{ij} = \frac{1}{{8\pi \eta R_{ij} }}\left[ {\left( {I + |
| 1932 |
– |
\frac{{R_{ij} R_{ij}^T }}{{R_{ij}^2 }}} \right) + R\frac{{\sigma |
| 1933 |
– |
_i^2 + \sigma _j^2 }}{{r_{ij}^2 }}\left( {\frac{I}{3} - |
| 1934 |
– |
\frac{{R_{ij} R_{ij}^T }}{{R_{ij}^2 }}} \right)} \right]. |
| 1935 |
– |
\label{introEquation:RPTensorNonOverlapped} |
| 1936 |
– |
\end{equation} |
| 1937 |
– |
Both of the Equation \ref{introEquation:oseenTensor} and Equation |
| 1938 |
– |
\ref{introEquation:RPTensorNonOverlapped} have an assumption $R_{ij} |
| 1939 |
– |
\ge \sigma _i + \sigma _j$. An alternative expression for |
| 1940 |
– |
overlapping beads with the same radius, $\sigma$, is given by |
| 1941 |
– |
\begin{equation} |
| 1942 |
– |
T_{ij} = \frac{1}{{6\pi \eta R_{ij} }}\left[ {\left( {1 - |
| 1943 |
– |
\frac{2}{{32}}\frac{{R_{ij} }}{\sigma }} \right)I + |
| 1944 |
– |
\frac{2}{{32}}\frac{{R_{ij} R_{ij}^T }}{{R_{ij} \sigma }}} \right] |
| 1945 |
– |
\label{introEquation:RPTensorOverlapped} |
| 1946 |
– |
\end{equation} |
| 1947 |
– |
|
| 1948 |
– |
To calculate the resistance tensor at an arbitrary origin $O$, we |
| 1949 |
– |
construct a $3N \times 3N$ matrix consisting of $N \times N$ |
| 1950 |
– |
$B_{ij}$ blocks |
| 1951 |
– |
\begin{equation} |
| 1952 |
– |
B = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} |
| 1953 |
– |
{B_{11} } & \ldots & {B_{1N} } \\ |
| 1954 |
– |
\vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ |
| 1955 |
– |
{B_{N1} } & \cdots & {B_{NN} } \\ |
| 1956 |
– |
\end{array}} \right), |
| 1957 |
– |
\end{equation} |
| 1958 |
– |
where $B_{ij}$ is given by |
| 1959 |
– |
\[ |
| 1960 |
– |
B_{ij} = \delta _{ij} \frac{I}{{6\pi \eta R}} + (1 - \delta _{ij} |
| 1961 |
– |
)T_{ij} |
| 1962 |
– |
\] |
| 1963 |
– |
where $\delta _{ij}$ is Kronecker delta function. Inverting matrix |
| 1964 |
– |
$B$, we obtain |
| 1965 |
– |
|
| 1966 |
– |
\[ |
| 1967 |
– |
C = B^{ - 1} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} |
| 1968 |
– |
{C_{11} } & \ldots & {C_{1N} } \\ |
| 1969 |
– |
\vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ |
| 1970 |
– |
{C_{N1} } & \cdots & {C_{NN} } \\ |
| 1971 |
– |
\end{array}} \right) |
| 1972 |
– |
\] |
| 1973 |
– |
, which can be partitioned into $N \times N$ $3 \times 3$ block |
| 1974 |
– |
$C_{ij}$. With the help of $C_{ij}$ and skew matrix $U_i$ |
| 1975 |
– |
\[ |
| 1976 |
– |
U_i = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} |
| 1977 |
– |
0 & { - z_i } & {y_i } \\ |
| 1978 |
– |
{z_i } & 0 & { - x_i } \\ |
| 1979 |
– |
{ - y_i } & {x_i } & 0 \\ |
| 1980 |
– |
\end{array}} \right) |
| 1981 |
– |
\] |
| 1982 |
– |
where $x_i$, $y_i$, $z_i$ are the components of the vector joining |
| 1983 |
– |
bead $i$ and origin $O$. Hence, the elements of resistance tensor at |
| 1984 |
– |
arbitrary origin $O$ can be written as |
| 1985 |
– |
\begin{equation} |
| 1986 |
– |
\begin{array}{l} |
| 1987 |
– |
\Xi _{}^{tt} = \sum\limits_i {\sum\limits_j {C_{ij} } } , \\ |
| 1988 |
– |
\Xi _{}^{tr} = \Xi _{}^{rt} = \sum\limits_i {\sum\limits_j {U_i C_{ij} } } , \\ |
| 1989 |
– |
\Xi _{}^{rr} = - \sum\limits_i {\sum\limits_j {U_i C_{ij} } } U_j \\ |
| 1990 |
– |
\end{array} |
| 1991 |
– |
\label{introEquation:ResistanceTensorArbitraryOrigin} |
| 1992 |
– |
\end{equation} |
| 1993 |
– |
|
| 1994 |
– |
The resistance tensor depends on the origin to which they refer. The |
| 1995 |
– |
proper location for applying friction force is the center of |
| 1996 |
– |
resistance (reaction), at which the trace of rotational resistance |
| 1997 |
– |
tensor, $ \Xi ^{rr}$ reaches minimum. Mathematically, the center of |
| 1998 |
– |
resistance is defined as an unique point of the rigid body at which |
| 1999 |
– |
the translation-rotation coupling tensor are symmetric, |
| 2000 |
– |
\begin{equation} |
| 2001 |
– |
\Xi^{tr} = \left( {\Xi^{tr} } \right)^T |
| 2002 |
– |
\label{introEquation:definitionCR} |
| 2003 |
– |
\end{equation} |
| 2004 |
– |
Form Equation \ref{introEquation:ResistanceTensorArbitraryOrigin}, |
| 2005 |
– |
we can easily find out that the translational resistance tensor is |
| 2006 |
– |
origin independent, while the rotational resistance tensor and |
| 2007 |
– |
translation-rotation coupling resistance tensor depend on the |
| 2008 |
– |
origin. Given resistance tensor at an arbitrary origin $O$, and a |
| 2009 |
– |
vector ,$r_{OP}(x_{OP}, y_{OP}, z_{OP})$, from $O$ to $P$, we can |
| 2010 |
– |
obtain the resistance tensor at $P$ by |
| 2011 |
– |
\begin{equation} |
| 2012 |
– |
\begin{array}{l} |
| 2013 |
– |
\Xi _P^{tt} = \Xi _O^{tt} \\ |
| 2014 |
– |
\Xi _P^{tr} = \Xi _P^{rt} = \Xi _O^{tr} - U_{OP} \Xi _O^{tt} \\ |
| 2015 |
– |
\Xi _P^{rr} = \Xi _O^{rr} - U_{OP} \Xi _O^{tt} U_{OP} + \Xi _O^{tr} U_{OP} - U_{OP} \Xi _O^{tr} ^{^T } \\ |
| 2016 |
– |
\end{array} |
| 2017 |
– |
\label{introEquation:resistanceTensorTransformation} |
| 2018 |
– |
\end{equation} |
| 2019 |
– |
where |
| 2020 |
– |
\[ |
| 2021 |
– |
U_{OP} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} |
| 2022 |
– |
0 & { - z_{OP} } & {y_{OP} } \\ |
| 2023 |
– |
{z_i } & 0 & { - x_{OP} } \\ |
| 2024 |
– |
{ - y_{OP} } & {x_{OP} } & 0 \\ |
| 2025 |
– |
\end{array}} \right) |
| 2026 |
– |
\] |
| 2027 |
– |
Using Equations \ref{introEquation:definitionCR} and |
| 2028 |
– |
\ref{introEquation:resistanceTensorTransformation}, one can locate |
| 2029 |

the position of center of resistance, |
