876  
877   When selecting the starting structure of a molecule for molecular
878   simulation, one may retrieve its Cartesian coordinates from public
879   databases, such as RCSB Protein Data Bank \textit{etc}. Although
880   thousands of crystal structures of molecules are discovered every
881   year, many more remain unknown due to the difficulties of
882 < purification and crystallization. Even for the molecule with known
883 < structure, some important information is missing. For example, the

884   missing hydrogen atom which acts as donor in hydrogen bonding must
885   be added. Moreover, in order to include electrostatic interaction,
886   one may need to specify the partial charges for individual atoms.
887   Under some circumstances, we may even need to prepare the system in
888 < a special setup. For instance, when studying transport phenomenon in
889 < membrane system, we may prepare the lipids in bilayer structure

893 > \subsubsection{\textbf{Minimization}}
894  
895   It is quite possible that some of molecules in the system from
896 < preliminary preparation may be overlapped with each other. This
897 < close proximity leads to high potential energy which consequently
898 < jeopardizes any molecular dynamics simulations. To remove these
899 < steric overlaps, one typically performs energy minimization to find
900 < a more reasonable conformation. Several energy minimization methods
901 < have been developed to exploit the energy surface and to locate the
902 < local minimum. While converging slowly near the minimum, steepest
903 < descent method is extremely robust when systems are far from
904 < harmonic. Thus, it is often used to refine structure from
905 < crystallographic data. Relied on the gradient or hessian, advanced
906 < methods like conjugate gradient and Newton-Raphson converge rapidly
907 < to a local minimum, while become unstable if the energy surface is
908 < far from quadratic. Another factor must be taken into account, when

916 > \subsubsection{\textbf{Heating}}
917  
918   Typically, Heating is performed by assigning random velocities
919 < according to a Gaussian distribution for a temperature. Beginning at
920 < a lower temperature and gradually increasing the temperature by
921 < assigning greater random velocities, we end up with setting the
922 < temperature of the system to a final temperature at which the
923 < simulation will be conducted. In heating phase, we should also keep
924 < the system from drifting or rotating as a whole. Equivalently, the
925 < net linear momentum and angular momentum of the system should be
926 < shifted to zero.

1790 \subsection{\label{introSection:frictionTensor} Friction Tensor}
1791 Theoretically, the friction kernel can be determined using velocity
1792 autocorrelation function. However, this approach become impractical
1793 when the system become more and more complicate. Instead, various
1794 approaches based on hydrodynamics have been developed to calculate
1795 the friction coefficients. The friction effect is isotropic in
1796 Equation, $\zeta$ can be taken as a scalar. In general, friction
1797 tensor $\Xi$ is a $6\times 6$ matrix given by
1798 \[
1799 \Xi  = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c}
1800   {\Xi _{}^{tt} } & {\Xi _{}^{rt} }  \\
1801   {\Xi _{}^{tr} } & {\Xi _{}^{rr} }  \\
1802 \end{array}} \right).
1803 \]
1804 Here, $ {\Xi^{tt} }$ and $ {\Xi^{rr} }$ are translational friction
1805 tensor and rotational resistance (friction) tensor respectively,
1806 while ${\Xi^{tr} }$ is translation-rotation coupling tensor and $
1807 {\Xi^{rt} }$ is rotation-translation coupling tensor. When a
1808 particle moves in a fluid, it may experience friction force or
1809 torque along the opposite direction of the velocity or angular
1810 velocity,
1811 \[
1812 \left( \begin{array}{l}
1813 F_R  \\
1814 \tau _R  \\
1815 \end{array} \right) =  - \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c}
1816   {\Xi ^{tt} } & {\Xi ^{rt} }  \\
1817   {\Xi ^{tr} } & {\Xi ^{rr} }  \\
1818 \end{array}} \right)\left( \begin{array}{l}
1819 v \\
1820 w \\
1821 \end{array} \right)
1822 \]
1823 where $F_r$ is the friction force and $\tau _R$ is the friction
1824 toque.
1825
1826 \subsubsection{\label{introSection:resistanceTensorRegular}The Resistance Tensor for Regular Shape}
1827
1828 For a spherical particle, the translational and rotational friction
1829 constant can be calculated from Stoke's law,
1830 \[
1831 \Xi ^{tt}  = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c}
1832   {6\pi \eta R} & 0 & 0  \\
1833   0 & {6\pi \eta R} & 0  \\
1834   0 & 0 & {6\pi \eta R}  \\
1835 \end{array}} \right)
1836 \]
1837 and
1838 \[
1839 \Xi ^{rr}  = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c}
1840   {8\pi \eta R^3 } & 0 & 0  \\
1841   0 & {8\pi \eta R^3 } & 0  \\
1842   0 & 0 & {8\pi \eta R^3 }  \\
1843 \end{array}} \right)
1844 \]
1845 where $\eta$ is the viscosity of the solvent and $R$ is the
1846 hydrodynamics radius.
1847
1848 Other non-spherical shape, such as cylinder and ellipsoid
1849 \textit{etc}, are widely used as reference for developing new
1850 hydrodynamics theory, because their properties can be calculated
1851 exactly. In 1936, Perrin extended Stokes's law to general ellipsoid,
1852 also called a triaxial ellipsoid, which is given in Cartesian
1853 coordinates by\cite{Perrin1934, Perrin1936}
1854 \[
1855 \frac{{x^2 }}{{a^2 }} + \frac{{y^2 }}{{b^2 }} + \frac{{z^2 }}{{c^2
1856 }} = 1
1857 \]
1858 where the semi-axes are of lengths $a$, $b$, and $c$. Unfortunately,
1859 due to the complexity of the elliptic integral, only the ellipsoid
1860 with the restriction of two axes having to be equal, \textit{i.e.}
1861 prolate($ a \ge b = c$) and oblate ($ a < b = c $), can be solved
1862 exactly. Introducing an elliptic integral parameter $S$ for prolate,
1863 \[
1864 S = \frac{2}{{\sqrt {a^2  - b^2 } }}\ln \frac{{a + \sqrt {a^2  - b^2
1865 } }}{b},
1866 \]
1867 and oblate,
1868 \[
1869 S = \frac{2}{{\sqrt {b^2  - a^2 } }}arctg\frac{{\sqrt {b^2  - a^2 }
1870 }}{a}
1871 \],
1872 one can write down the translational and rotational resistance
1873 tensors
1874 \[
1875 \begin{array}{l}
1876 \Xi _a^{tt}  = 16\pi \eta \frac{{a^2  - b^2 }}{{(2a^2  - b^2 )S - 2a}} \\
1877 \Xi _b^{tt}  = \Xi _c^{tt}  = 32\pi \eta \frac{{a^2  - b^2 }}{{(2a^2  - 3b^2 )S + 2a}} \\
1878 \end{array},
1879 \]
1880 and
1881 \[
1882 \begin{array}{l}
1883 \Xi _a^{rr}  = \frac{{32\pi }}{3}\eta \frac{{(a^2  - b^2 )b^2 }}{{2a - b^2 S}} \\
1884 \Xi _b^{rr}  = \Xi _c^{rr}  = \frac{{32\pi }}{3}\eta \frac{{(a^4  - b^4 )}}{{(2a^2  - b^2 )S - 2a}} \\
1885 \end{array}.

1888 \subsubsection{\label{introSection:resistanceTensorRegularArbitrary}The Resistance Tensor for Arbitrary Shape}
1889
1890 Unlike spherical and other regular shaped molecules, there is not
1891 analytical solution for friction tensor of any arbitrary shaped
1892 rigid molecules. The ellipsoid of revolution model and general
1893 triaxial ellipsoid model have been used to approximate the
1894 hydrodynamic properties of rigid bodies. However, since the mapping
1895 from all possible ellipsoidal space, $r$-space, to all possible
1896 combination of rotational diffusion coefficients, $D$-space is not
1897 unique\cite{Wegener1979} as well as the intrinsic coupling between
1898 translational and rotational motion of rigid body, general ellipsoid
1899 is not always suitable for modeling arbitrarily shaped rigid
1900 molecule. A number of studies have been devoted to determine the
1901 friction tensor for irregularly shaped rigid bodies using more
1902 advanced method where the molecule of interest was modeled by
1903 combinations of spheres(beads)\cite{Carrasco1999} and the
1904 hydrodynamics properties of the molecule can be calculated using the
1905 hydrodynamic interaction tensor. Let us consider a rigid assembly of
1906 $N$ beads immersed in a continuous medium. Due to hydrodynamics
1907 interaction, the ``net'' velocity of $i$th bead, $v'_i$ is different
1908 than its unperturbed velocity $v_i$,
1909 \[
1910 v'_i  = v_i  - \sum\limits_{j \ne i} {T_{ij} F_j }
1911 \]
1912 where $F_i$ is the frictional force, and $T_{ij}$ is the
1913 hydrodynamic interaction tensor. The friction force of $i$th bead is
1914 proportional to its ``net'' velocity
1915 \begin{equation}
1916 F_i  = \zeta _i v_i  - \zeta _i \sum\limits_{j \ne i} {T_{ij} F_j }.
1917 \label{introEquation:tensorExpression}
1918 \end{equation}
1919 This equation is the basis for deriving the hydrodynamic tensor. In
1920 1930, Oseen and Burgers gave a simple solution to Equation
1921 \ref{introEquation:tensorExpression}
1922 \begin{equation}
1923 T_{ij}  = \frac{1}{{8\pi \eta r_{ij} }}\left( {I + \frac{{R_{ij}
1924 R_{ij}^T }}{{R_{ij}^2 }}} \right).
1925 \label{introEquation:oseenTensor}
1926 \end{equation}
1927 Here $R_{ij}$ is the distance vector between bead $i$ and bead $j$.
1928 A second order expression for element of different size was
1929 introduced by Rotne and Prager\cite{Rotne1969} and improved by
1930 Garc\'{i}a de la Torre and Bloomfield\cite{Torre1977},
1931 \begin{equation}
1932 T_{ij}  = \frac{1}{{8\pi \eta R_{ij} }}\left[ {\left( {I +
1933 \frac{{R_{ij} R_{ij}^T }}{{R_{ij}^2 }}} \right) + R\frac{{\sigma
1934 _i^2  + \sigma _j^2 }}{{r_{ij}^2 }}\left( {\frac{I}{3} -
1935 \frac{{R_{ij} R_{ij}^T }}{{R_{ij}^2 }}} \right)} \right].
1936 \label{introEquation:RPTensorNonOverlapped}
1937 \end{equation}
1938 Both of the Equation \ref{introEquation:oseenTensor} and Equation
1939 \ref{introEquation:RPTensorNonOverlapped} have an assumption $R_{ij}
1940 \ge \sigma _i  + \sigma _j$. An alternative expression for
1941 overlapping beads with the same radius, $\sigma$, is given by
1942 \begin{equation}
1943 T_{ij}  = \frac{1}{{6\pi \eta R_{ij} }}\left[ {\left( {1 -
1944 \frac{2}{{32}}\frac{{R_{ij} }}{\sigma }} \right)I +
1945 \frac{2}{{32}}\frac{{R_{ij} R_{ij}^T }}{{R_{ij} \sigma }}} \right]
1946 \label{introEquation:RPTensorOverlapped}
1947 \end{equation}
1948
1949 To calculate the resistance tensor at an arbitrary origin $O$, we
1950 construct a $3N \times 3N$ matrix consisting of $N \times N$
1951 $B_{ij}$ blocks
1952 \begin{equation}
1953 B = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c}
1954   {B_{11} } &  \ldots  & {B_{1N} }  \\
1955    \vdots  &  \ddots  &  \vdots   \\
1956   {B_{N1} } &  \cdots  & {B_{NN} }  \\
1957 \end{array}} \right),
1958 \end{equation}
1959 where $B_{ij}$ is given by
1960 \[
1961 B_{ij}  = \delta _{ij} \frac{I}{{6\pi \eta R}} + (1 - \delta _{ij}
1962 )T_{ij}
1963 \]
1964 where $\delta _{ij}$ is Kronecker delta function. Inverting matrix
1965 $B$, we obtain
1966
1967 \[
1968 C = B^{ - 1}  = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c}
1969   {C_{11} } &  \ldots  & {C_{1N} }  \\

1971   {C_{N1} } &  \cdots  & {C_{NN} }  \\

1974 , which can be partitioned into $N \times N$ $3 \times 3$ block
1975 $C_{ij}$. With the help of $C_{ij}$ and skew matrix $U_i$
1976 \[
1977 U_i  = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c}
1978   0 & { - z_i } & {y_i }  \\
1979   {z_i } & 0 & { - x_i }  \\
1980   { - y_i } & {x_i } & 0  \\
1981 \end{array}} \right)
1982 \]
1983 where $x_i$, $y_i$, $z_i$ are the components of the vector joining
1984 bead $i$ and origin $O$. Hence, the elements of resistance tensor at
1985 arbitrary origin $O$ can be written as
1986 \begin{equation}
1987 \begin{array}{l}
1988 \Xi _{}^{tt}  = \sum\limits_i {\sum\limits_j {C_{ij} } } , \\
1989 \Xi _{}^{tr}  = \Xi _{}^{rt}  = \sum\limits_i {\sum\limits_j {U_i C_{ij} } } , \\
1990 \Xi _{}^{rr}  =  - \sum\limits_i {\sum\limits_j {U_i C_{ij} } } U_j  \\
1991 \end{array}

1993 \end{equation}

1995 The resistance tensor depends on the origin to which they refer. The
1996 proper location for applying friction force is the center of
1997 resistance (reaction), at which the trace of rotational resistance
1998 tensor, $ \Xi ^{rr}$ reaches minimum. Mathematically, the center of
1999 resistance is defined as an unique point of the rigid body at which
2000 the translation-rotation coupling tensor are symmetric,
2001 \begin{equation}
2002 \Xi^{tr}  = \left( {\Xi^{tr} } \right)^T
2003 \label{introEquation:definitionCR}
2004 \end{equation}
2005 Form Equation \ref{introEquation:ResistanceTensorArbitraryOrigin},
2006 we can easily find out that the translational resistance tensor is
2007 origin independent, while the rotational resistance tensor and
2008 translation-rotation coupling resistance tensor depend on the
2009 origin. Given resistance tensor at an arbitrary origin $O$, and a
2010 vector ,$r_{OP}(x_{OP}, y_{OP}, z_{OP})$, from $O$ to $P$, we can
2011 obtain the resistance tensor at $P$ by
2012 \begin{equation}
2013 \begin{array}{l}
2014 \Xi _P^{tt}  = \Xi _O^{tt}  \\
2015 \Xi _P^{tr}  = \Xi _P^{rt}  = \Xi _O^{tr}  - U_{OP} \Xi _O^{tt}  \\
2016 \Xi _P^{rr}  = \Xi _O^{rr}  - U_{OP} \Xi _O^{tt} U_{OP}  + \Xi _O^{tr} U_{OP}  - U_{OP} \Xi _O^{tr} ^{^T }  \\
2017 \end{array}
2018 \label{introEquation:resistanceTensorTransformation}
2019 \end{equation}
2020 where
2021 \[
2022 U_{OP}  = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c}
2023   0 & { - z_{OP} } & {y_{OP} }  \\
2024   {z_i } & 0 & { - x_{OP} }  \\
2025   { - y_{OP} } & {x_{OP} } & 0  \\
2026 \end{array}} \right)
2027 \]
2028 Using Equations \ref{introEquation:definitionCR} and
2029 \ref{introEquation:resistanceTensorTransformation}, one can locate
2030 the position of center of resistance,
2031 \begin{eqnarray*}
2032 \left( \begin{array}{l}
2033 x_{OR}  \\
2034 y_{OR}  \\
2035 z_{OR}  \\
2036 \end{array} \right) & = &\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c}
2037   {(\Xi _O^{rr} )_{yy}  + (\Xi _O^{rr} )_{zz} } & { - (\Xi _O^{rr} )_{xy} } & { - (\Xi _O^{rr} )_{xz} }  \\
2038   { - (\Xi _O^{rr} )_{xy} } & {(\Xi _O^{rr} )_{zz}  + (\Xi _O^{rr} )_{xx} } & { - (\Xi _O^{rr} )_{yz} }  \\
2039   { - (\Xi _O^{rr} )_{xz} } & { - (\Xi _O^{rr} )_{yz} } & {(\Xi _O^{rr} )_{xx}  + (\Xi _O^{rr} )_{yy} }  \\
2040 \end{array}} \right)^{ - 1}  \\
2041  & & \left( \begin{array}{l}
2042 (\Xi _O^{tr} )_{yz}  - (\Xi _O^{tr} )_{zy}  \\
2043 (\Xi _O^{tr} )_{zx}  - (\Xi _O^{tr} )_{xz}  \\
2044 (\Xi _O^{tr} )_{xy}  - (\Xi _O^{tr} )_{yx}  \\
2045 \end{array} \right) \\
2046 \end{eqnarray*}
2047
2048
2049
2050 where $x_OR$, $y_OR$, $z_OR$ are the components of the vector
2051 joining center of resistance $R$ and origin $O$.
