%applications of langevin dynamics |
| 771 |
> |
As an excellent alternative to newtonian dynamics, Langevin |
| 772 |
> |
dynamics, which mimics a simple heat bath with stochastic and |
| 773 |
> |
dissipative forces, has been applied in a variety of studies. The |
| 774 |
> |
stochastic treatment of the solvent enables us to carry out |
| 775 |
> |
substantially longer time simulation. Implicit solvent Langevin |
| 776 |
> |
dynamics simulation of met-enkephalin not only outperforms explicit |
| 777 |
> |
solvent simulation on computation efficiency, but also agrees very |
| 778 |
> |
well with explicit solvent simulation on dynamics |
| 779 |
> |
properties\cite{Shen2002}. Recently, applying Langevin dynamics with |
| 780 |
> |
UNRES model, Liow and his coworkers suggest that protein folding |
| 781 |
> |
pathways can be possibly exploited within a reasonable amount of |
| 782 |
> |
time\cite{Liwo2005}. The stochastic nature of the Langevin dynamics |
| 783 |
> |
also enhances the sampling of the system and increases the |
| 784 |
> |
probability of crossing energy barrier\cite{Banerjee2004, Cui2003}. |
| 785 |
> |
Combining Langevin dynamics with Kramers's theory, Klimov and |
| 786 |
> |
Thirumalai identified the free-energy barrier by studying the |
| 787 |
> |
viscosity dependence of the protein folding rates\cite{Klimov1997}. |
| 788 |
> |
In order to account for solvent induced interactions missing from |
| 789 |
> |
implicit solvent model, Kaya incorporated desolvation free energy |
| 790 |
> |
barrier into implicit coarse-grained solvent model in protein |
| 791 |
> |
folding/unfolding study and discovered a higher free energy barrier |
| 792 |
> |
between the native and denatured states. Because of its stability |
| 793 |
> |
against noise, Langevin dynamics is very suitable for studying |
| 794 |
> |
remagnetization processes in various |
| 795 |
> |
systems\cite{Palacios1998,Berkov2002,Denisov2003}. For instance, the |
| 796 |
> |
oscillation power spectrum of nanoparticles from Langevin dynamics |
| 797 |
> |
simulation has the same peak frequencies for different wave |
| 798 |
> |
vectors,which recovers the property of magnetic excitations in small |
| 799 |
> |
finite structures\cite{Berkov2005a}. In an attempt to reduce the |
| 800 |
> |
computational cost of simulation, multiple time stepping (MTS) |
| 801 |
> |
methods have been introduced and have been of great interest to |
| 802 |
> |
macromolecule and protein community\cite{Tuckerman1992}. Relying on |
| 803 |
> |
the observation that forces between distant atoms generally |
| 804 |
> |
demonstrate slower fluctuations than forces between close atoms, MTS |
| 805 |
> |
method are generally implemented by evaluating the slowly |
| 806 |
> |
fluctuating forces less frequently than the fast ones. |
| 807 |
> |
Unfortunately, nonlinear instability resulting from increasing |
| 808 |
> |
timestep in MTS simulation have became a critical obstruction |
| 809 |
> |
preventing the long time simulation. Due to the coupling to the heat |
| 810 |
> |
bath, Langevin dynamics has been shown to be able to damp out the |
| 811 |

resonance artifact more efficiently\cite{Sandu1999}. |

%review rigid body dynamics |
| 814 |

Rigid bodies are frequently involved in the modeling of different |
| 815 |
> |
areas, from engineering, physics, to chemistry. For example, |
| 816 |
> |
missiles and vehicle are usually modeled by rigid bodies. The |
| 817 |
> |
movement of the objects in 3D gaming engine or other physics |
| 818 |
> |
simulator is governed by the rigid body dynamics. In molecular |
| 819 |
> |
simulation, rigid body is used to simplify the model in |
| 820 |
> |
protein-protein docking study\cite{Gray2003}. |
| 821 |

|
| 822 |

It is very important to develop stable and efficient methods to |
| 823 |
> |
integrate the equations of motion of orientational degrees of |
| 824 |
> |
freedom. Euler angles are the nature choice to describe the |
| 825 |
> |
rotational degrees of freedom. However, due to its singularity, the |
| 826 |
> |
numerical integration of corresponding equations of motion is very |
| 827 |
> |
inefficient and inaccurate. Although an alternative integrator using |
| 828 |
> |
different sets of Euler angles can overcome this |
| 829 |
> |
difficulty\cite{Ryckaert1977, Andersen1983}, the computational |
| 830 |
> |
penalty and the lost of angular momentum conservation still remain. |
| 831 |

In 1977, a singularity free representation utilizing quaternions was |
| 832 |
> |
developed by Evans\cite{Evans1977}. Unfortunately, this approach |
| 833 |
> |
suffer from the nonseparable Hamiltonian resulted from quaternion |
| 834 |
> |
representation, which prevents the symplectic algorithm to be |
| 835 |
> |
utilized. Another different approach is to apply holonomic |
| 836 |
> |
constraints to the atoms belonging to the rigid |
| 837 |

body\cite{Barojas1973}. Each atom moves independently under the |

\subsection{Friction Tensor} |
| 920 |
> |
|
| 921 |
> |
For an arbitrary rigid body moves in a fluid, it may experience |
| 922 |
> |
friction force $f_r$ or friction torque $\tau _r$ along the opposite |
| 923 |
> |
direction of the velocity $v$ or angular velocity $\omega$ at |
| 924 |
> |
arbitrary origin $P$, |
| 925 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 926 |
> |
\left( \begin{array}{l} |
| 927 |
> |
f_r \\ |
| 928 |
> |
\tau _r \\ |
| 929 |
> |
\end{array} \right) = - \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} |
| 930 |
> |
{\Xi _{P,t} } & {\Xi _{P,c}^T } \\ |
| 931 |
> |
{\Xi _{P,c} } & {\Xi _{P,r} } \\ |
| 932 |
> |
\end{array}} \right)\left( \begin{array}{l} |
| 933 |
> |
\nu \\ |
| 934 |
> |
\omega \\ |
| 935 |
> |
\end{array} \right) |
| 936 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 937 |
> |
where $\Xi _{P,t}t$ is the translation friction tensor, $\Xi _{P,r}$ |
| 938 |
> |
is the rotational friction tensor and $\Xi _{P,c}$ is the |
| 939 |
> |
translation-rotation coupling tensor. The procedure of calculating |
| 940 |
> |
friction tensor using hydrodynamic tensor and comparison between |
| 941 |
> |
bead model and shell model were elaborated by Carrasco \textit{et |
| 942 |
> |
al}\cite{Carrasco1999}. An important property of the friction tensor |
| 943 |
> |
is that the translational friction tensor is independent of origin |
| 944 |
> |
while the rotational and coupling are sensitive to the choice of the |
| 945 |
> |
origin \cite{Brenner1967}, which can be described by |
| 946 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 947 |
> |
\begin{array}{c} |
| 948 |
> |
\Xi _{P,t} = \Xi _{O,t} = \Xi _t \\ |
| 949 |
> |
\Xi _{P,c} = \Xi _{O,c} - r_{OP} \times \Xi _t \\ |
| 950 |
> |
\Xi _{P,r} = \Xi _{O,r} - r_{OP} \times \Xi _t \times r_{OP} + \Xi _{O,c} \times r_{OP} - r_{OP} \times \Xi _{O,c}^T \\ |
| 951 |
> |
\end{array} |
| 952 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 953 |
> |
Where $O$ is another origin and $r_{OP}$ is the vector joining $O$ |
| 954 |
> |
and $P$. It is also worthy of mention that both of translational and |
| 955 |
> |
rotational frictional tensors are always symmetric. In contrast, |
| 956 |
> |
coupling tensor is only symmetric at center of reaction: |
| 957 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 958 |
> |
\Xi _{R,c} = \Xi _{R,c}^T |
| 959 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 960 |
> |
The proper location for applying friction force is the center of |
| 961 |
> |
reaction, at which the trace of rotational resistance tensor reaches |
| 962 |
> |
minimum. |
| 963 |
> |
|
| 964 |
> |
\subsection{Rigid body dynamics} |
| 965 |
> |
|
| 966 |
> |
The Hamiltonian of rigid body can be separated in terms of potential |
| 967 |
> |
energy $V(r,A)$ and kinetic energy $T(p,\pi)$, |
| 968 |
> |
\[ |
| 969 |
> |
H = V(r,A) + T(v,\pi ) |
| 970 |
> |
\] |
| 971 |
> |
A second-order symplectic method is now obtained by the composition |
| 972 |
> |
of the flow maps, |
| 973 |
> |
\[ |
| 974 |
> |
\varphi _{\Delta t} = \varphi _{\Delta t/2,V} \circ \varphi |
| 975 |
> |
_{\Delta t,T} \circ \varphi _{\Delta t/2,V}. |
| 976 |
> |
\] |
| 977 |
> |
Moreover, $\varphi _{\Delta t/2,V}$ can be divided into two |
| 978 |
> |
sub-flows which corresponding to force and torque respectively, |
| 979 |
> |
\[ |
| 980 |
> |
\varphi _{\Delta t/2,V} = \varphi _{\Delta t/2,F} \circ \varphi |
| 981 |
> |
_{\Delta t/2,\tau }. |
| 982 |
> |
\] |
| 983 |
> |
Since the associated operators of $\varphi _{\Delta t/2,F} $ and |
| 984 |
> |
$\circ \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\tau }$ are commuted, the composition |
| 985 |
> |
order inside $\varphi _{\Delta t/2,V}$ does not matter. |
| 986 |
> |
|
| 987 |
> |
Furthermore, kinetic potential can be separated to translational |
| 988 |
> |
kinetic term, $T^t (p)$, and rotational kinetic term, $T^r (\pi )$, |
| 989 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 990 |
> |
T(p,\pi ) =T^t (p) + T^r (\pi ). |
| 991 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 992 |
> |
where $ T^t (p) = \frac{1}{2}v^T m v $ and $T^r (\pi )$ is defined |
| 993 |
> |
by \ref{introEquation:rotationalKineticRB}. Therefore, the |
| 994 |
> |
corresponding flow maps are given by |
| 995 |
> |
\[ |
| 996 |
> |
\varphi _{\Delta t,T} = \varphi _{\Delta t,T^t } \circ \varphi |
| 997 |
> |
_{\Delta t,T^r }. |
| 998 |
> |
\] |
| 999 |
> |
The free rigid body is an example of Lie-Poisson system with |
| 1000 |
> |
Hamiltonian function |
| 1001 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 1002 |
> |
T^r (\pi ) = T_1 ^r (\pi _1 ) + T_2^r (\pi _2 ) + T_3^r (\pi _3 ) |
| 1003 |
> |
\label{introEquation:rotationalKineticRB} |
| 1004 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 1005 |
> |
where $T_i^r (\pi _i ) = \frac{{\pi _i ^2 }}{{2I_i }}$ and |
| 1006 |
> |
Lie-Poisson structure matrix, |
| 1007 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 1008 |
> |
J(\pi ) = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} |
| 1009 |
> |
0 & {\pi _3 } & { - \pi _2 } \\ |
| 1010 |
> |
{ - \pi _3 } & 0 & {\pi _1 } \\ |
| 1011 |
> |
{\pi _2 } & { - \pi _1 } & 0 \\ |
| 1012 |
> |
\end{array}} \right) |
| 1013 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 1014 |
> |
Thus, the dynamics of free rigid body is governed by |
| 1015 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 1016 |
> |
\frac{d}{{dt}}\pi = J(\pi )\nabla _\pi T^r (\pi ) |
| 1017 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 1018 |
> |
One may notice that each $T_i^r$ in Equation |
| 1019 |
> |
\ref{introEquation:rotationalKineticRB} can be solved exactly. For |
| 1020 |
> |
instance, the equations of motion due to $T_1^r$ are given by |
| 1021 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 1022 |
> |
\frac{d}{{dt}}\pi = R_1 \pi ,\frac{d}{{dt}}A = AR_1 |
| 1023 |
> |
\label{introEqaution:RBMotionSingleTerm} |
| 1024 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 1025 |
> |
where |
| 1026 |
> |
\[ R_1 = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} |
| 1027 |
> |
0 & 0 & 0 \\ |
| 1028 |
> |
0 & 0 & {\pi _1 } \\ |
| 1029 |
> |
0 & { - \pi _1 } & 0 \\ |
| 1030 |
> |
\end{array}} \right). |
| 1031 |
> |
\] |
| 1032 |
> |
The solutions of Equation \ref{introEqaution:RBMotionSingleTerm} is |
| 1033 |
> |
\[ |
| 1034 |
> |
\pi (\Delta t) = e^{\Delta tR_1 } \pi (0),A(\Delta t) = |
| 1035 |
> |
A(0)e^{\Delta tR_1 } |
| 1036 |
> |
\] |
| 1037 |
> |
with |
| 1038 |
> |
\[ |
| 1039 |
> |
e^{\Delta tR_1 } = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} |
| 1040 |
> |
0 & 0 & 0 \\ |
| 1041 |
> |
0 & {\cos \theta _1 } & {\sin \theta _1 } \\ |
| 1042 |
> |
0 & { - \sin \theta _1 } & {\cos \theta _1 } \\ |
| 1043 |
> |
\end{array}} \right),\theta _1 = \frac{{\pi _1 }}{{I_1 }}\Delta t. |
| 1044 |
> |
\] |
| 1045 |
> |
To reduce the cost of computing expensive functions in $e^{\Delta |
| 1046 |
> |
tR_1 }$, we can use Cayley transformation, |
| 1047 |
> |
\[ |
| 1048 |
> |
e^{\Delta tR_1 } \approx (1 - \Delta tR_1 )^{ - 1} (1 + \Delta tR_1 |
| 1049 |
> |
) |
| 1050 |
> |
\] |
| 1051 |
> |
The flow maps for $T_2^r$ and $T_3^r$ can be found in the same |
| 1052 |
> |
manner. |
| 1053 |
> |
|
| 1054 |
> |
In order to construct a second-order symplectic method, we split the |
| 1055 |
> |
angular kinetic Hamiltonian function into five terms |
| 1056 |
> |
\[ |
| 1057 |
> |
T^r (\pi ) = \frac{1}{2}T_1 ^r (\pi _1 ) + \frac{1}{2}T_2^r (\pi _2 |
| 1058 |
> |
) + T_3^r (\pi _3 ) + \frac{1}{2}T_2^r (\pi _2 ) + \frac{1}{2}T_1 ^r |
| 1059 |
> |
(\pi _1 ) |
| 1060 |
> |
\]. |
| 1061 |
> |
Concatenating flows corresponding to these five terms, we can obtain |
| 1062 |
> |
the flow map for free rigid body, |
| 1063 |
> |
\[ |
| 1064 |
> |
\varphi _{\Delta t,T^r } = \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi _1 } \circ |
| 1065 |
> |
\varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi _2 } \circ \varphi _{\Delta t,\pi _3 } |
| 1066 |
> |
\circ \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi _2 } \circ \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi |
| 1067 |
> |
_1 }. |
| 1068 |
> |
\] |
| 1069 |
> |
|
| 1070 |
> |
The equations of motion corresponding to potential energy and |
| 1071 |
> |
kinetic energy are listed in the below table, |
| 1072 |

\subsection{Langevin dynamics for rigid particles of arbitrary shape} |
| 1095 |
> |
|
| 1096 |
> |
Consider a Langevin equation of motions in generalized coordinates |
| 1097 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 1098 |
> |
M_i \dot V_i (t) = F_{s,i} (t) + F_{f,i(t)} + F_{r,i} (t) |
| 1099 |
> |
\label{LDGeneralizedForm} |
| 1100 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 1101 |
> |
where $M_i$ is a $6\times6$ generalized diagonal mass (include mass |
| 1102 |
> |
and moment of inertial) matrix and $V_i$ is a generalized velocity, |
| 1103 |
> |
$V_i = V_i(v_i,\omega _i)$. The right side of Eq. |
| 1104 |
> |
(\ref{LDGeneralizedForm}) consists of three generalized forces in |
| 1105 |
> |
lab-fixed frame, systematic force $F_{s,i}$, dissipative force |
| 1106 |
> |
$F_{f,i}$ and stochastic force $F_{r,i}$. While the evolution of the |
| 1107 |
> |
system in Newtownian mechanics typically refers to lab-fixed frame, |
| 1108 |
> |
it is also convenient to handle the rotation of rigid body in |
| 1109 |
> |
body-fixed frame. Thus the friction and random forces are calculated |
| 1110 |
> |
in body-fixed frame and converted back to lab-fixed frame by: |
| 1111 |
> |
\[ |
| 1112 |
> |
\begin{array}{l} |
| 1113 |
> |
F_{f,i}^l (t) = A^T F_{f,i}^b (t), \\ |
| 1114 |
> |
F_{r,i}^l (t) = A^T F_{r,i}^b (t) \\ |
| 1115 |
> |
\end{array}. |
| 1116 |
> |
\] |
| 1117 |
> |
Here, the body-fixed friction force $F_{r,i}^b$ is proportional to |
| 1118 |
> |
the body-fixed velocity at center of resistance $v_{R,i}^b$ and |
| 1119 |

angular velocity $\omega _i$, |
| 1120 |

\begin{equation} |

with zero mean and variance |

The equation of motion for $v_i$ can be written as |
| 1140 |

\begin{equation} |
| 1141 |

m\dot v_i (t) = f_{t,i} (t) = f_{s,i} (t) + f_{f,i}^l (t) + |

Since the frictional force is applied at the center of resistance |
| 1145 |
> |
which generally does not coincide with the center of mass, an extra |
| 1146 |

torque is exerted at the center of mass. Thus, the net body-fixed |
| 1147 |
> |
frictional torque at the center of mass, $\tau _{n,i}^b (t)$, is |
| 1148 |
> |
given by |
| 1149 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 1150 |
> |
\tau _{r,i}^b = \tau _{r,i}^b +r_{MR} \times f_{r,i}^b |
| 1151 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 1152 |
> |
where $r_{MR}$ is the vector from the center of mass to the center |
| 1153 |
> |
of the resistance. Instead of integrating angular velocity in |
| 1154 |
> |
lab-fixed frame, we consider the equation of motion of angular |
| 1155 |
> |
momentum in body-fixed frame |
| 1156 |

\begin{equation} |
| 1157 |

\dot \pi _i (t) = \tau _{t,i} (t) = \tau _{s,i} (t) + \tau _{f,i}^b |

Embedding the friction terms into force and torque, one can |
| 1162 |

integrate the langevin equations of motion for rigid body of |
| 1163 |

arbitrary shape in a velocity-Verlet style 2-part algorithm, where |
| 1164 |

$h= \delta t$: |
| 1165 |

|
| 1166 |

{\tt part one:} |
| 1167 |

\begin{align*} |
| 1168 |

v_i (t + h/2) &\leftarrow v_i (t) + \frac{{hf_{t,i}^l (t)}}{{2m_i }} \\ |
| 1169 |

\pi _i (t + h/2) &\leftarrow \pi _i (t) + \frac{{h\tau _{t,i}^b (t)}}{2} \\ |

r_i (t + h) &\leftarrow r_i (t) + hv_i (t + h/2) \\ |
| 1171 |

A_i (t + h) &\leftarrow rotate\left( {h\pi _i (t + h/2)I^{ - 1} } \right) \\ |

In this context, the $\mathrm{rotate}$ function is the reversible |
| 1174 |

product of five consecutive body-fixed rotations, |
| 1175 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 1176 |

\mathrm{rotate}({\bf a}) = \mathsf{G}_x(a_x / 2) \cdot |
| 1177 |

\mathsf{G}_y(a_y / 2) \cdot \mathsf{G}_z(a_z) \cdot \mathsf{G}_y(a_y |
| 1178 |
> |
/ 2) \cdot \mathsf{G}_x(a_x /2), |
| 1179 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 1180 |
> |
where each rotational propagator, $\mathsf{G}_\alpha(\theta)$, |
| 1181 |
> |
rotates both the rotation matrix ($\mathsf{A}$) and the body-fixed |
| 1182 |
> |
angular momentum ($\pi$) by an angle $\theta$ around body-fixed axis |
| 1183 |
> |
$\alpha$, |
| 1184 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 1185 |
> |
\mathsf{G}_\alpha( \theta ) = \left\{ |
| 1186 |
> |
\begin{array}{lcl} |
| 1187 |
> |
\mathsf{A}(t) & \leftarrow & \mathsf{A}(0) \cdot \mathsf{R}_\alpha(\theta)^T, \\ |
| 1188 |

{\bf j}(t) & \leftarrow & \mathsf{R}_\alpha(\theta) \cdot {\bf |
| 1189 |

j}(0). |
| 1190 |

\end{array} |
| 1191 |

\right. |
| 1192 |

\end{equation} |
| 1193 |

$\mathsf{R}_\alpha$ is a quadratic approximation to the single-axis |
| 1194 |
> |
rotation matrix. For example, in the small-angle limit, the |
| 1195 |
> |
rotation matrix around the body-fixed x-axis can be approximated as |
| 1196 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 1197 |
> |
\mathsf{R}_x(\theta) \approx \left( |
| 1198 |

\begin{array}{ccc} |
| 1199 |

1 & 0 & 0 \\ |
| 1200 |

0 & \frac{1-\theta^2 / 4}{1 + \theta^2 / 4} & -\frac{\theta}{1+ |
| 1201 |

\theta^2 / 4} \\ |
| 1202 |
> |
0 & \frac{\theta}{1+ \theta^2 / 4} & \frac{1-\theta^2 / 4}{1 + |
| 1203 |

\theta^2 / 4} |
| 1204 |

\end{array} |
| 1205 |

\right). |

\end{equation} |
| 1207 |

All other rotations follow in a straightforward manner. |
| 1208 |

After the first part of the propagation, the friction and random |
| 1210 |
> |
forces are generated at the center of resistance in body-fixed frame |
| 1211 |

and converted back into lab-fixed frame |
| 1212 |

\[ |
| 1213 |

f_{t,i}^l (t + h) = - \left( {\frac{{\partial V}}{{\partial r_i }}} |
| 1214 |

\right)_{r_i (t + h)} + A_i^T (t + h)[F_{f,i}^b (t + h) + F_{r,i}^b |
| 1215 |
> |
(t + h)], |
| 1216 |
> |
\] |
| 1217 |

while the system torque in lab-fixed frame is transformed into |
| 1218 |
> |
body-fixed frame, |
| 1219 |

\[ |
| 1220 |
> |
\tau _{t,i}^b (t + h) = A\tau _{s,i}^l (t) + \tau _{n,i}^b (t) + |
| 1221 |

\tau _{r,i}^b (t). |
| 1222 |

\] |
| 1223 |

Once the forces and torques have been obtained at the new time step, |
| 1224 |

the velocities can be advanced to the same time value. |
