Molecular Models

Molecular Models

Physical models representing molecular architectures of chemical compounds play essential roles in understanding chemistry. The use of molecular models makes it easier to visualize the structures and shapes of atoms and molecules.

Quantitative Aspects of Drug-Receptor Interaction

Quantitative Aspects of Drug-Receptor Interaction

The receptor occupancy theory connects a drug's response to the number of occupied receptors. With higher drug concentrations, more receptors are occupied, leading to increased responses. The formation of drug-receptor complexes involves association and dissociation rates, which reach equilibrium when the forward and backward reactions are equal. The equilibrium association constant (Ka) and its inverse, the equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd), indicate drug affinity. Higher Ka and lower Kd...

Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals I

Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals I

The mathematical expression known as the wave function, ψ, contains information about each orbital and the wavelike properties of electrons in an isolated atom. When atoms are bound together in a molecule, the wave functions combine to produce new mathematical descriptions that have different shapes. This process of combining the wave functions for atomic orbitals is called hybridization and is mathematically accomplished by the linear combination of atomic orbitals. The new orbitals that...

Molecular Comparison of Gases, Liquids, and Solids

Molecular Comparison of Gases, Liquids, and Solids

Particles in a solid are tightly packed together (fixed shape) and often arranged in a regular pattern; in a liquid, they are close together with no regular arrangement (no fixed shape); in a gas, they are far apart with no regular arrangement (no fixed shape). Particles in a solid vibrate about fixed positions (cannot flow) and do not generally move in relation to one another; in a liquid, they move past each other (can flow) but remain in essentially constant contact; in a gas, they move...

Coupled Reactions

Coupled Reactions

Cellular processes such as building and breaking down complex molecules occur through stepwise chemical reactions. Some of these chemical reactions are spontaneous and release energy, whereas others require energy to proceed. Cells often couple the energy-releasing reaction with the energy-requiring one to carry out important cell functions.
Energy in adenosine triphosphate or ATP molecules is easily accessible to do work. ATP powers the majority of energy-requiring cellular reactions. Cells...

Background:

Accurate simulation of (bio)molecules requires integrating quantum mechanics (QM) and molecular mechanics (MM) methods.
Existing simulation packages may lack robust QM/MM capabilities or flexibility for further development.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the implementation of novel QM/MM functionality within the Groningen Molecular Simulation (GROMOS) software.
To validate the new QM/MM features and assess their performance for various molecular systems.

Main Methods:

Direct coupling of GROMOS C++ software with QM packages (MNDO, TURBOMOLE).
Utilizing program and model testing techniques for validation.
Investigating the impact of QM/MM electrostatic interaction cutoffs.

Main Results:

Successful integration and validation of QM/MM functionality in GROMOS.
Analysis of electrostatic interaction truncation effects on simulation accuracy.
Comparison of semiempirical versus density-functional Hamiltonians for solute behavior.

Conclusions:

The new QM/MM implementation in GROMOS provides a flexible and validated platform for advanced (bio)molecular simulations.
The study offers insights into parameter choices for optimizing QM/MM simulations, including Hamiltonian selection and cutoff radii.
