molecular dynamics simulations of freezing behavior of pure water and 14% water-nacl mixture using the coarse-grained model
نویسندگان
چکیده
we performed molecular dynamics simulations using the coarse-grained model to study the freezing behavior of pure water and 14% water-salt mixture in a wide range of temperatures for a very long time around 50 nanoseconds. for the salty water, an interface in nanoscale was used. for both systems, the freezing behavior of water molecules was studied using some qualities such as density, total energy, and radial distribution function. for the 14% water-salt mixture, the equilibrium freezing temperature depression observed in the simulations was well consistent with the experimental data. contrary to the water-salt mixture, however, the above-mentioned quantities changed dramatically for the pure water at the freezing point. the plots of the total energy versus time shows the freezing point of 14% water-salt mixture was 265 k that is 9 k less than the freezing point of pure water. the reduction of freezing point is in very good agreement with the experimental freezing point. the results of the simulation showed that in the less temperature than obtained freezing point, the sodium and chloride ions tendency to network formation and rejection of solution lead to reduction of water molecules accumulation.

متن کاملA simple, efficient polarizable coarse-grained water model for molecular dynamics simulations.
The development of coarse-grained (CG) models that correctly represent the important features of compounds is essential to overcome the limitations in time scale and system size currently encountered in atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. Most approaches reported in the literature model one or several molecules into a single uncharged CG bead. For water, this implicit treatment of the ele...
متن کاملCoarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations of biomolecules
Coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CGMD) simulations are increasingly being used to analyze the behaviors of biological systems. When appropriately used, CGMD can simulate the behaviors of molecular systems several hundred times faster than elaborate all-atom molecular dynamics simulations with similar accuracy. CGMD parameters for lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and some artificial substances...

متن کاملCoarse-grained protein molecular dynamics simulations.
A limiting factor in biological science is the time-scale gap between experimental and computational trajectories. At this point, all-atom explicit solvent molecular dynamics (MD) are clearly too expensive to explore long-range protein motions and extract accurate thermodynamics of proteins in isolated or multimeric forms. To reach the appropriate time scale, we must then resort to coarse grain...
