  abstract = {While the prediction of hydrodynamic properties of rigid particles
        is nowadays feasible using simple and efficient computer programs,
        the calculation of such properties and, in general, the dynamic
        behavior of flexible macromolecules has not reached a similar situation.
        Although the theories are available, usually the computational work
        is done using solutions specific for each problem. We intend to
        develop computer programs that would greatly facilitate the task
        of predicting solution behavior of flexible macromolecules. In this
        paper, we first present an overview of the two approaches that are
        most practical: the Monte Carlo rigid-body treatment, and the Brownian
        dynamics simulation technique. The Monte Carlo procedure is based
        on the calculation of properties for instantaneous conformations
        of the macromolecule that are regarded as if they were instantaneously
        rigid. We describe how a Monte Carlo program can be interfaced to
        the programs in the HYDRO suite for rigid particles, and provide
        an example of such calculation, for a hypothetical particle: a protein
        with two domains connected by a flexible linker. We also describe
        briefly the essentials of Brownian dynamics, and propose a general
        mechanical model that includes several kinds of intramolecular interactions,
        such as bending, internal rotation, excluded volume effects, etc.
        We provide an example of the application of this methodology to
        the dynamics of a semiflexible, wormlike DNA.},

  title = {Hierarchical structure of the energy landscape of proteins revisited

  abstract = {Time series analysis tools are employed on the principal modes obtained
        from the C-alpha trajectories from two independent molecular-dynamics
        simulations of alpha-amylase inhibitor (tendamistat). Fluctuations
        inside an energy minimum (intraminimum motions), transitions between
        minima (interminimum motions), and relaxations in different hierarchical
        energy levels are investigated and compared with those encountered
        in vacuum by using different sampling window sizes and intervals.
        The low-frequency low-indexed mode relationship, established in
        vacuum, is also encountered in water, which shows the reliability
        of the important dynamics information offered by principal components
        analysis in water. It has been shown that examining a short data
        collection period (100 ps) may result in a high population of overdamped
        modes, while some of the low-frequency oscillations (< 10 cm(-1))
        can be captured in water by using a longer data collection period
        (1200 ps). Simultaneous analysis of short and long sampling window
        sizes gives the following picture of the effect of water on protein
        dynamics. Water makes the protein lose its memory: future conformations
        are less dependent on previous conformations due to the lowering
        of energy barriers in hierarchical levels of the energy landscape.
        In short-time dynamics (< 10 ps), damping factors extracted from
        time series model parameters are lowered. For tendamistat, the friction
        coefficient in the Langevin equation is found to be around 40-60
        cm(-1) for the low-indexed modes, compatible with literature. The
        fact that water has increased the friction and that on the other
        hand has lubrication effect at first sight contradicts. However,
        this comes about because water enhances the transitions between
        minima and forces the protein to reduce its already inherent inability
        to maintain oscillations observed in vacuum. Some of the frequencies
        lower than 10 cm(-1) are found to be overdamped, while those higher
        than 20 cm(-1) are slightly increased. As for the long-time dynamics
        in water, it is found that random-walk motion is maintained for
        approximately 200 ps (about five times of that in vacuum) in the
        low-indexed modes, showing the lowering of energy barriers between
        the higher-level minima.},

  abstract = {Acetylcholine receptor channels (AChRs) are proteins that switch between
        stable #closed# and #open# conformations. In patch clamp recordings,
        diliganded AChR gating appears to be a simple, two-state reaction.
        However, mutagenesis studies indicate that during gating dozens
        of residues across the protein move asynchronously and are organized
        into rigid body gating domains (#blocks#). Moreover, there is an
        upper limit to the apparent channel opening rate constant. These
        observations suggest that the gating reaction has a broad, corrugated
        transition state region, with the maximum opening rate reflecting,
        in part, the mean first-passage time across this ensemble. Simulations
        reveal that a flat, isotropic energy profile for the transition
        state can account for many of the essential features of AChR gating.
        With this mechanism, concerted, local structural transitions that
        occur on the broad transition state ensemble give rise to fractional
        measures of reaction progress (Phi values) determined by rate-equilibrium
        free energy relationship analysis. The results suggest that the
        coarse-grained AChR gating conformational change propagates through
        the protein with dynamics that are governed by the Brownian motion
        of individual gating blocks.},

        H-2 NMR. Upon the addition of the anesthetics, the first five methylene
        units near the interface generally show a very small increase in
        segmental order, while segments deeper within the bilayer show a
        small decrease in segmental order. From the H-2 NMR results, the

        of anesthetic was found to be 12.35 Angstrom. Upon the addition
        of halothane enflurane, or isoflurane, the acyl chain undergoes
        slight contractions of 0.11, 0.20, or 0.16 Angstrom, respectively,

        for an interfacial location was observed. Intermolecular H-1-H-1
        nuclear Overhauser effects (NOEs) were measured between phospholipid

        location of the anesthetics suggested by the H-2 NMR data. In addition,

  abstract = {We present an efficient new method termed LN for propagating biomolecular
        dynamics according to the Langevin equation that arose fortuitously
        upon analysis of the range of harmonic validity of our normal-mode
        scheme LIN. LN combines force linearization with force splitting
        techniques and disposes of LIN'S computationally intensive minimization
        (anharmonic correction) component. Unlike the competitive multiple-timestepping
        (MTS) schemes today-formulated to be symplectic and time-reversible-LN
        merges the slow and fast forces via extrapolation rather than impulses;
        the Langevin heat bath prevents systematic energy drifts. This combination
        succeeds in achieving more significant speedups than these MTS methods
        which are Limited by resonance artifacts to an outer timestep less
        than some integer multiple of half the period of the fastest motion
        (around 4-5 fs for biomolecules). We show that LN achieves very
        good agreement with small-timestep solutions of the Langevin equation
        in terms of thermodynamics (energy means and variances), geometry,
        and dynamics (spectral densities) for two proteins in vacuum and
        a large water system. Significantly, the frequency of updating the
        slow forces extends to 48 fs or more, resulting in speedup factors
        exceeding 10. The implementation of LN in any program that employs
        force-splitting computations is straightforward, with only partial
        second-derivative information required, as well as sparse Hessian/vector
        multiplication routines. The linearization part of LN could even
        be replaced by direct evaluation of the fast components. The application
        of LN to biomolecular dynamics is well suited for configurational
        sampling, thermodynamic, and structural questions. (C) 1998 American

        can exhibit the elusive biaxial nematic phase, we have developed
        a generic simulation model for such systems. This contains the features
        of the molecule that are essential to its liquid crystal behavior,
        namely the anisotropies of the two arms and the angle between them.
        The behavior of the model has been investigated using Monte Carlo
        simulations for a wide range of these structural parameters. This
        allows us to establish the relationship between the V-shaped molecule
        and its ability to form a biaxial nematic phase. Of particular importance
        are the criteria of geometry and the relative anisotropy necessary
        for the system to exhibit a Landau point, at which the biaxial nematic
        is formed directly from the isotropic phase. The simulations have
        also been used to determine the orientational order parameters for
        a selection of molecular axes. These are especially important because
        they reveal the phase symmetry and are connected to the experimental

  abstract = {Fluids of hard bent-core molecules have been studied using theory
        and computer simulation. The molecules are composed of two hard
        spherocylinders, with length-to-breadth ratio L/D, joined by their
        ends at an angle 180 degrees - gamma. For L/D = 2 and gamma = 0,10,20
        degrees, the simulations show isotropic, nematic, smectic, and solid
        phases. For L/D = 2 and gamma = 30 degrees, only isotropic, nematic,
        and solid phases are in evidence, which suggests that there is a
        nematic-smectic-solid triple point at an angle in the range 20 degrees
        < gamma < 30 degrees. In all of the orientationally ordered fluid
        phases the order is purely uniaxial. For gamma = 10 degrees and
        20 degrees, at the studied densities, the solid is also uniaxially
        ordered, whilst for gamma = 30 degrees the solid layers are biaxially
        ordered. For L/D = 2 and gamma = 60 degrees and 90 degrees we find
        no spontaneous orientational ordering. This is shown to be due to
        the interlocking of dimer pairs which precludes alignment. We find
        similar results for L/D = 9.5 and gamma = 72 degrees, where an isotropic-biaxial
        nematic transition is predicted by Onsager theory. Simulations in
        the biaxial nematic phase show it to be at least mechanically stable
        with respect to the isotropic phase, however. We have compared the
        quasi-exact simulation results in the isotropic phase with the predicted
        equations of state from three theories: the virial expansion containing
        the second and third virial coefficients; the Parsons-Lee equation
        of state; an application of Wertheim's theory of associating fluids
        in the limit of infinite attractive association energy. For all
        of the molecule elongations and geometries we have simulated, the
        Wertheim theory proved to be the most accurate. Interestingly, the
        isotropic equation of state is virtually independent of the dimer
        bond angle-a feature that is also reflected in the lack of variation
        with angle of the calculated second and third virial coefficients.

        in vacuo and for the free enzyme with some solvent modeling: high-temperature
        Langevin dynamics simulations, sampling by a #dynamics##driver#
        approach, and potential-energy surface calculations. Our focus is
        on obtaining the energy barrier to the enzyme's motion and establishing
        the nature of the loop movement. Previous calculations did not determine
        this energy barrier and the effect of solvent on the barrier. High-temperature
        molecular dynamics simulations and crystallographic studies have
        suggested a rigid-body motion with two hinges located at both ends

        to a very flexible behavior. The present simulations and analyses
        reveal that although solute/solvent hydrogen bonds play a crucial
        role in lowering the energy along the pathway, there still remains
        a high activation barrier, This finding clearly indicates that,
        if the loop opens and closes in the absence of a substrate at standard
        conditions (e.g., room temperature, appropriate concentration of
        isomerase), the time scale for transition is not in the nanosecond
        but rather the microsecond range. Our results also indicate that
        in the context of spontaneous opening in the free enzyme, the motion
        is of rigid-body type and that the specific interaction between

        symmetry. Standard numerical integration methods destroy both properties,
        introducing nonphysical dynamical behavior such as numerically induced

        This article describes the construction, implementation, and practical
        application of fast explicit symplectic-reversible integrators for
        multiple rigid body molecular simulations, These methods use a reduction
        to Euler equations for the free rigid body, together with a symplectic

        of each rigid body is integrated by a sequence of planar rotations.
        Besides preserving the symplectic and reversible structures of the
        flow, this scheme accurately conserves the total angular momentum
        of a system of interacting rigid bodies. Excellent energy conservation

  abstract = {A new procedure for studying the folding and unfolding of proteins,
        with an application to bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI),
        is reported. The unfolding and refolding of the native structure
        of the protein are characterized by the dimensions of the protein,
        expressed in terms of the three principal radii of the structure
        considered as an ellipsoid. A dynamic equation, describing the variations
        of the principal radii on the unfolding path, and a numerical procedure
        to solve this equation are proposed. Expanded and distorted conformations
        are refolded to the native structure by a dimensional-constraint
        energy minimization procedure. A unique and reproducible unfolding
        pathway for an intermediate of BPTI lacking the [30,51] disulfide
        bond is obtained. The resulting unfolded conformations are extended;
        they contain near-native local structure, but their longest principal
        radii are more than 2.5 times greater than that of the native structure.
        The most interesting finding is that the majority of expanded conformations,
        generated under various conditions, can be refolded closely to the
        native structure, as measured by the correct overall chain fold,
        by the rms deviations from the native structure of only 1.9-3.1
        angstrom, and by the energy differences of about 10 kcal/mol from
        the native structure. Introduction of the [30,51] disulfide bond
        at this stage, followed by minimization, improves the closeness
        of the refolded structures to the native structure, reducing the
        rms deviations to 0.9-2.0 angstrom. The unique refolding of these
        expanded structures over such a large conformational space implies
        that the folding is strongly dictated by the interactions in the
        amino acid sequence of BPTI. The simulations indicate that, under
        conditions that favor a compact structure as mimicked by the volume
        constraints in our algorithm; the expanded conformations have a
        strong tendency to move toward the native structure; therefore,
        they probably would be favorable folding intermediates. The results
        presented here support a general model for protein folding, i.e.,
        progressive formation of partially folded structural units, followed
        by collapse to the compact native structure. The general applicability
        of the procedure is also discussed.},

  abstract = {The slow dynamics of proteins around its native folded state is usually
        described by diffusion in a strongly anharmonic potential. In this
        paper, we try to understand the form and origin of the anharmonicities,
        with the principal aim of gaining a better understanding of the
        principal motion types, but also in order to develop more efficient
        numerical methods for simulating neutron scattering spectra of large
        proteins. First, we decompose a molecular dynamics (MD) trajectory
        of 1.5 ns for a C-phycocyanin dimer surrounded by a layer of water
        into three contributions that we expect to be independent: the global
        motion of the residues, the rigid-body motion of the sidechains
        relative to the backbone, and the internal deformations of the sidechains.
        We show that they are indeed almost independent by verifying the
        factorization of the incoherent intermediate scattering function.
        Then, we show that the global residue motions, which include all
        large-scale backbone motions, can be reproduced by a simple harmonic
        model which contains two contributions: a short-time vibrational
        term, described by a standard normal mode calculation in a local
        minimum, and a long-time diffusive term, described by Brownian motion
        in an effective harmonic potential. The potential and the friction
        constants were fitted to the MD data. The major anharmonic contribution
        to the incoherent intermediate scattering function comes from the
        rigid-body diffusion of the sidechains. This model can be used to
        calculate scattering functions for large proteins and for long-time
        scales very efficiently, and thus provides a useful complement to
        MD simulations, which are best suited for detailed studies on smaller
        systems or for shorter time scales. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

        hydrophobic interface ot the membrane proteins, gramicidin and apocytochrome
        C, using two related fluorescence spectroscopic approaches. The
        first approach exploited the fact that the presence of water in
        the excited state solvent cage of a fluorophore increases the rate
        of decay. For 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) and 1-palmitoyl-2-[[2-[4-(6-phenyl-trans-1,3,5-hexatrienyl)
        phenyl]ethyl]carbonyl]-3-sn-PC (DPH-PC), where the fluorophores
        are located in the hydrophobic core of the lipid bilayer, the introduction
        of gramicidin reduced the fluorescence lifetime, indicative of an
        increased presence of water in the bilayer. Since a high protein:lipid
        ratio was used, the fluorophores were forced to be adjacent to the
        protein hydrophobic surface, hence the presence of water in this
        region could be inferred. Cholesterol is known to reduce the water
        content of lipid bilayers and this effect was maintained at the
        protein-lipid interface with both gramicidin and apocytochrome C,
        again suggesting hydration in this region. The second approach was
        to use the fluorescence enhancement induced by exchanging deuterium
        oxide (D2O) for H2O. Both the fluorescence intensities of trimethylammonium-DPH,
        located in the lipid head group region, and of the gramicidin intrinsic
        tryptophans were greater in a D2O buffer compared with H2O, showing
        that the fluorophores were exposed to water in the bilayer at the
        protein-lipid interface. In the presence of cholesterol the fluorescence
        intensity ratio of D2O to H2O decreased, indicating a removal of
        water by the cholesterol, in keeping with the lifetime data. Altered
        hydration at the protein-lipid interface could affect conformation,
        thereby offering a new route by which membrane protein functioning

  abstract = {In this paper we show the possibility of using very mild stochastic
        damping to stabilize long time step integrators for Newtonian molecular
        dynamics. More specifically, stable and accurate integrations are
        obtained for damping coefficients that are only a few percent of
        the natural decay rate of processes of interest, such as the velocity
        autocorrelation function. Two new multiple time stepping integrators,
        Langevin Molly (LM) and Brunger-Brooks-Karplus-Molly (BBK-M), are
        introduced in this paper. Both use the mollified impulse method
        for the Newtonian term. LM uses a discretization of the Langevin
        equation that is exact for the constant force, and BBK-M uses the
        popular Brunger-Brooks-Karplus integrator (BBK). These integrators,
        along with an extrapolative method called LN, are evaluated across
        a wide range of damping coefficient values. When large damping coefficients
        are used, as one would for the implicit modeling of solvent molecules,
        the method LN is superior, with LM closely following. However, with
        mild damping of 0.2 ps(-1), LM produces the best results, allowing
        long time steps of 14 fs in simulations containing explicitly modeled
        flexible water. With BBK-M and the same damping coefficient, time
        steps of 12 fs are possible for the same system. Similar results
        are obtained for a solvated protein-DNA simulation of estrogen receptor
        ER with estrogen response element ERE. A parallel version of BBK-M
        runs nearly three times faster than the Verlet-I/r-RESPA (reversible
        reference system propagator algorithm) when using the largest stable
        time step on each one, and it also parallelizes well. The computation
        of diffusion coefficients for flexible water and ER/ERE shows that
        when mild damping of up to 0.2 ps-1 is used the dynamics are not
        significantly distorted. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.},

        to be symplectic and momentum preserving and to often have excellent
        global energy behaviour. This analytical result is verified through
        numerical examples and is believed to be one of the primary reasons
        that this class of algorithms performs so well. Second, we develop
        algorithms for mechanical systems with forcing, and in particular,
        for dissipative systems. In this case, we develop integrators that
        are based on a discretization of the Lagrange d'Alembert principle
        as well as on a variational formulation of dissipation. It is demonstrated
        that these types of structured integrators have good numerical behaviour

  abstract = {Rigid-body molecular dynamics simulations typically are performed
        in a quaternion representation. The nonseparable form of the Hamiltonian
        in quaternions prevents the use of a standard leapfrog (Verlet)
        integrator, so nonsymplectic Runge-Kutta, multistep, or extrapolation
        methods are generally used, This is unfortunate since symplectic
        methods like Verlet exhibit superior energy conservation in long-time
        integrations. In this article, we describe an alternative method,
        which we call RSHAKE (for rotation-SHAKE), in which the entire rotation
        matrix is evolved (using the scheme of McLachlan and Scovel [J.
        Nonlin. Sci, 16 233 (1995)]) in tandem with the particle positions.
        We employ a fast approximate Newton solver to preserve the orthogonality
        of the rotation matrix. We test our method on a system of soft-sphere
        dipoles and compare with quaternion evolution using a 4th-order
        predictor-corrector integrator, Although the short-time error of
        the quaternion algorithm is smaller for fixed time step than that
        for RSHAKE, the quaternion scheme exhibits an energy drift which
        is not observed in simulations with RSHAKE, hence a fixed energy
        tolerance can be achieved by using a larger time step, The superiority
        of RSHAKE increases with system size. (C) 1997 American Institute

  abstract = {To obtain insight in the process of water permeation through a lipid
        membrane, we performed molecular dynamics simulations on a phospholipid
        (DPPC)/water system with atomic detail. Since the actual process
        of permeation is too slow to be studied directly, we deduced the
        permeation rate indirectly via computation of the free energy and
        diffusion rate profiles of a water molecule across the bilayer.
        We conclude that the permeation of water through a lipid membrane
        cannot be described adequately by a simple homogeneous solubility-diffusion
        model. Both the excess free energy and the diffusion rate strongly
        depend on the position in the membrane, as a result from the inhomogeneous
        nature of the membrane. The calculated excess free energy profile
        has a shallow slope and a maximum height of 26 kJ/mol. The diffusion
        rate is highest in the middle of the membrane where the lipid density
        is low. In the interfacial region almost all water molecules are
        bound by the lipid headgroups, and the diffusion turns out to be
        1 order of magnitude smaller. The total transport process is essentially
        determined by the free energy barrier. The rate-limiting step is
        the permeation through the dense part of the lipid tails, where
        the resistance is highest. We found a permeation rate of 7(+/-3)
        x 10(-2) cm/s at 350 K, comparable to experimental values for DPPC
        membranes, if corrected for the temperature of the simulation. Taking
        the inhomogeneity of the membrane into account, we define a new
        ''four-region'' model which seems to be more realistic than the
        ''two-phase'' solubility-diffusion model.},

        to prove covariant generalizations of conservation of symplecticity
        and Noether's theorem. Natural discretization schemes for PDEs,
        which have these important preservation properties, then follow
        by choosing a discrete action functional. In the case of mechanics,

        DNA can potentially induce long-range structural deformations integral
        to mechanisms of biological significance in both prokaryotes and
        eukaryotes. In this paper, we introduce a dynamic computer model
        for investigating this phenomenon. Duplex DNA is represented as
        a chain of hydrodynamic beads interacting through potentials of
        linearly elastic stretching, bending, and twisting, as well as excluded
        volume. The chain, linear when relaxed, is looped to form two open
        but topologically constrained subdomains. This permits the dynamic
        introduction of torsional stress via a centrally applied torque.
        We simulate by Brownian dynamics the 100 mus response of a 477-base
        pair B-DNA template to the localized torque generated by the prokaryotic
        transcription ensemble. Following a sharp rise at early times, the
        distributed twist assumes a nearly constant value in both subdomains,
        and a succession of supercoiling deformations occurs as superhelical
        stress is increasingly partitioned to writhe. The magnitude of writhe
        surpasses that of twist before also leveling off when the structure
        reaches mechanical equilibrium with the torsional load. Superhelicity
        is simultaneously right handed in one subdomain and left handed

        We introduce ANTLR, a public-domain parser generator that combines
        the flexibility of hand-coded parsing with the convenience of a
        parser generator, which is a component of PCCTS. ANTLR has many
        features that make it easier to use than other language tools. Most
        important, ANTLR provides predicates which let the programmer systematically
        direct the parse via arbitrary expressions using semantic and syntactic
        context; in practice, the use of predicates eliminates the need
        to hand-tweak the ANTLR output, even for difficult parsing problems.
        ANTLR also integrates the description of lexical and syntactic analysis,
        accepts LL(k) grammars for k > 1 with extended BNF notation, and
        can automatically generate abstract syntax trees. ANTLR is widely
        used, with over 1000 registered industrial and academic users in
        37 countries. It has been ported to many popular systems such as

        problems in structural biology. Despite all the available structural,
        sequence and biophysical information about protein-protein complexes,
        the physico-chemical patterns, if any, that make a protein surface
        likely to be involved in protein-protein interactions, remain elusive.
        Here, we apply protein docking simulations and analysis of the interaction
        energy landscapes to identify protein-protein interaction sites.
        The new protocol for global docking based on multi-start global
        energy optimization of an allatom model of the ligand, with detailed
        receptor potentials and atomic solvation parameters optimized in
        a training set of 24 complexes, explores the conformational space
        around the whole receptor without restrictions. The ensembles of
        the rigid-body docking solutions generated by the simulations were
        subsequently used to project the docking energy landscapes onto
        the protein surfaces. We found that highly populated low-energy
        regions consistently corresponded to actual binding sites. The procedure
        was validated on a test set of 21 known protein-protein complexes
        not used in the training set. As much as 81% of the predicted high-propensity
        patch residues were located correctly in the native interfaces.
        This approach can guide the design of mutations on the surfaces
        of proteins, provide geometrical details of a possible interaction,

  abstract = {Backward error analysis has become an important tool for understanding
        the long time behavior of numerical integration methods. This is
        true in particular for the integration of Hamiltonian systems where
        backward error analysis can be used to show that a symplectic method
        will conserve energy over exponentially long periods of time. Such
        results are typically based on two aspects of backward error analysis:
        (i) It can be shown that the modified vector fields have some qualitative
        properties which they share with the given problem and (ii) an estimate
        is given for the difference between the best interpolating vector
        field and the numerical method. These aspects have been investigated
        recently, for example, by Benettin and Giorgilli in [J. Statist.
        Phys., 74 (1994), pp. 1117-1143], by Hairer in [Ann. Numer. Math.,

        framework and a simplification of the existing results and corresponding
        proofs. Our approach to backward error analysis is based on a simple
        recursive definition of the modified vector fields that does not
        require explicit Taylor series expansion of the numerical method
        and the corresponding flow maps as in the above-cited works. As
        an application we discuss the long time integration of chaotic Hamiltonian
        systems and the approximation of time averages along numerically
        computed trajectories.},

  abstract = {The mobility of water, Na+. and K+ has been calculated inside a periodic
        poly-(L,D)-alanine beta-helix, a model for the interior of the gramicidin
        channel. Because of the different dynamical regimes for the three
        species (high barrier for Na+, low barrier for K+, almost free diffusion
        for water), different methods are used to calculate the mobilities.
        By use of activated dynamics and a potential of mean force determined
        previously (Roux, B.; Karplus, M. Biophys. J. 1991, 59, 961), the
        barrier crossing rate of Na+ ion is determined. The motion of Na+
        at the transition state is controlled by local interactions and
        collisions with the neighboring carbonyls and the two nearest water
        molecules. There are significant deviations from transition-state
        theory; the transmission coefficient is equal to 0.11. The water
        and K+ motions are found to be well described by a diffusive model;
        the motion of K+ appears to be controlled by the diffusion of water.
        The time-dependent friction functions of Na+ and K+ ions in the
        periodic beta-helix are calculated and analyzed by using a generalized
        Langevin equation approach. Both Na+ and K+ suffer many rapid collisions,
        and their dynamics is overdamped and noninertial. Thus, the selectivity
        sequence of ions in the beta-helix is not influenced strongly by
        their masses.},

  abstract = {Numerical resonance artifacts have become recognized recently as a
        limiting factor to increasing the timestep in multiple-timestep
        (MTS) biomolecular dynamics simulations. At certain timesteps correlated
        to internal motions (e.g., 5 fs, around half the period of the fastest
        bond stretch, T-min), visible inaccuracies or instabilities can
        occur. Impulse-MTS schemes are vulnerable to these resonance errors
        since large energy pulses are introduced to the governing dynamics
        equations when the slow forces are evaluated. We recently showed
        that such resonance artifacts can be masked significantly by applying
        extrapolative splitting to stochastic dynamics. Theoretical and
        numerical analyses of force-splitting integrators based on the Verlet
        discretization are reported here for linear models to explain these
        observations and to suggest how to construct effective integrators
        for biomolecular dynamics that balance stability with accuracy.
        Analyses for Newtonian dynamics demonstrate the severe resonance
        patterns of the Impulse splitting, with this severity worsening
        with the outer timestep. Delta t: Constant Extrapolation is generally
        unstable, but the disturbances do not grow with Delta t. Thus. the
        stochastic extrapolative combination can counteract generic instabilities
        and largely alleviate resonances with a sufficiently strong Langevin
        heat-bath coupling (gamma), estimates for which are derived here
        based on the fastest and slowest motion periods. These resonance
        results generally hold for nonlinear test systems: a water tetramer
        and solvated protein. Proposed related approaches such as Extrapolation/Correction
        and Midpoint Extrapolation work better than Constant Extrapolation
        only for timesteps less than T-min/2. An effective extrapolative
        stochastic approach for biomolecules that balances long-timestep
        stability with good accuracy for the fast subsystem is then applied
        to a biomolecule using a three-class partitioning: the medium forces
        are treated by Midpoint Extrapolation via position Verlet, and the
        slow forces are incorporated by Constant Extrapolation. The resulting
        algorithm (LN) performs well on a solvated protein system in terms
        of thermodynamic properties and yields an order of magnitude speedup
        with respect to single-timestep Langevin trajectories. Computed
        spectral density functions also show how the Newtonian modes can
        be approximated by using a small gamma in the range Of 5-20 ps(-1).

        method of van Gunsteren and Berendsen, and the Brunger-Brooks-Karplus
        (BBK) method. It is shown how the impulse method and the van Gunsteren-Berendsen
        methods can be implemented as efficiently as the BBK method. Other
        considerations suggest that the impulse method is the best basic
        method for simple Langevin dynamics, with the van Gunsteren-Berendsen
        method a close contender.},

        differential equations are studied: leapfrog, implicit midpoint,
        trapezoid, Stormer-Verlet, and Cowell-Numerov. We show that all
        are members, or equivalent to members, of a one-parameter family
        of schemes. Some methods have more than one common form, and we
        discuss a systematic enumeration of these forms. We also present
        a stability and accuracy analysis based on the idea of ''modified
        equations'' and a proof of symplecticness. It follows that Cowell-Numerov
        and ''LIM2'' (a method proposed by Zhang and Schlick) are symplectic.
        A different interpretation of the values used by these integrators
        leads to higher accuracy and better energy conservation. Hence,
        we suggest that the straightforward analysis of energy conservation
        is misleading.},

        theory by Doi and Edwards [The Theory of Polymer Dynamics (Clarendon,
        Oxford, 1986)] and Kuzuu [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 52, 3486 (1983)]. Here
        this theory is put to the test by comparing it against computer
        simulations. A Brownian dynamics simulation program was developed
        to follow the dynamics of the rods, with a length over a diameter
        ratio of 60, on the Smoluchowski time scale. The model accounts
        for excluded volume interactions between rods, but neglects hydrodynamic
        interactions. The self-rotational diffusion coefficients D-r(phi)
        of the rods were calculated by standard methods and by a new, more
        efficient method based on calculating average restoring torques.
        Collective decay of orientational order was calculated by means
        of equilibrium and nonequilibrium simulations. Our results show
        that, for the currently accessible volume fractions, the decay times
        in both cases are virtually identical. Moreover, the observed decay
        of diffusion coefficients with volume fraction is much quicker than
        predicted by the theory, which is attributed to an oversimplification
        of dynamic correlations in the theory. (c) 2005 American Institute

        aspects of the bilayer structure have been investigated and compared
        favorably with experimental results. For example, the average positions
        of specific carbon atoms along the bilayer normal agree well with
        neutron diffraction data, and the electron density profile is in
        accord with x-ray diffraction results. The hydrocarbon chain deuterium
        order parameters agree reasonably well with NMR results for the
        middles of the chains, but the simulation predicts too much order
        at the chain ends. In spite of the deviations in the order parameters,
        the hydrocarbon chain packing density appears to be essentially
        correct, inasmuch as the area/lipid and bilayer thickness are in
        agreement with the most refined experimental estimates. The deuterium

        isotropic-smectic A-smectic B and isotropic-smectic B at high (T*=2.0)
        and low (T*=1.5) temperatures, respectively. With increasing quadrupole
        magnitude the smectic phases are observed to be stabilized with
        respect to the isotropic liquid, while the smectic B is destabilized
        with respect to the smectic A. At the lower temperature, a sufficiently
        large quadrupole magnitude results in the injection of the smectic
        A phase into the phase sequence and the replacement of the smectic
        B phase by the tilted smectic J phase. The nematic phase is also
        injected into the phase sequence at both temperatures considered,
        and ultimately for sufficiently large quadrupole magnitudes no coherent
        layered structures were observed. The stabilization of the smectic
        A phase supports the commonly held belief that, while the inclusion
        of polar groups is not a prerequisite for the formation of the smectic
        A phase, quadrupolar interactions help to increase the temperature
        and pressure range for which the smectic A phase is observed. The
        quality of the layered structure is worsened with increasing quadrupole
        magnitude. This behavior, along with the injection of the nematic
        phase into the phase sequence, indicate that the general tendency
        of the quadrupolar interactions is to destabilize the layered structure.
        A pressure dependence upon the smectic layer spacing is observed.
        This behavior is in much closer agreement with experimental findings
        than has been observed previously for nonpolar Gay-Berne and hard
        spherocylinder models. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.},

        condensed ionic systems is rather short ranged, an exact and physically
        transparent method permitting the evaluation of the Coulomb potential
        by direct summation over the r(-1) Coulomb pair potential is presented.
        The key observation is that the problems encountered in determining
        the Coulomb energy by pairwise, spherically truncated r(-1) summation
        are a direct consequence of the fact that the system summed over
        is practically never neutral. A simple method is developed that
        achieves charge neutralization wherever the r(-1) pair potential
        is truncated. This enables the extraction of the Coulomb energy,
        forces, and stresses from a spherically truncated, usually charged
        environment in a manner that is independent of the grouping of the
        pair terms. The close connection of our approach with the Ewald
        method is demonstrated and exploited, providing an efficient method
        for the simulation of even highly disordered ionic systems by direct,
        pairwise r(-1) summation with spherical truncation at rather short
        range, i.e., a method which fully exploits the short-ranged nature
        of the interactions in ionic systems. The method is validated by
        simulations of crystals, liquids, and interfacial systems, such
        as free surfaces and grain boundaries. (C) 1999 American Institute
