Transition events in butane simulations: Similarities across models
نویسندگان
چکیده
From a variety of long simulations of all-atom butane using both stochastic and fully solved molecular dynamics, we have uncovered striking generic behavior that also occurs in one-dimensional systems. We find an apparently universal distribution of transition event durations, as well as a characteristic speed profile along the reaction coordinate. An approximate analytic distribution of event durations, derived from a one-dimensional model, correctly predicts the asymptotic behavior of the universal distribution for both short and long durations. © 2002 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1433501#

Quasielastic neutron scattering and molecular dynamics simulation studies of the melting transition in butane and hexane monolayers adsorbed on graphite
Quasielastic neutron scattering experiments and molecular dynamics ~MD! simulations have been used to investigate molecular diffusive motion near the melting transition of monolayers of flexible rod-shaped molecules. The experiments were conducted on butane and hexane monolayers adsorbed on an exfoliated graphite substrate. For butane, quasielastic scattering broader than the experimental energ...
متن کاملSimulation of Alkane Adsorption in the Aluminophosphate Molecular Sieve AlPO4-5
Adsorption isotherms of alkanes ranging from methane through pentane in the microporous aluminophosphate AlPO4-5 are calculated using grand canonical monte carlo simulations. These simulations predict a surprisingly complex behavior. For methane and ethane we find at low temperatures a low-density-high-density transition that resembles capillary condensation. At intermediate temperatures a high...
متن کاملAn Analysis of the Validity of Markov State Models for Emulating the Dynamics of Classical Molecular Systems and Ensembles.
Markov state models parametrized using molecular simulation data are powerful tools for the investigation of conformational changes in biomolecules and in recent years have gained increasing popularity. However, a Markov state model is an approximation to the true dynamics of the complete system. We show how Markov state models are derived from the generalized Liouville equation identifying the...

Free energy calculations of the potential of mean force (PMF) based on the combination of targeted molecular dynamics (TMD) simulations and umbrella samplings as a function of physical coordinates have been applied to explore the detailed pathways and the corresponding free energy profiles for the conformational transition processes of the butane molecule and the 35-residue villin headpiece sub...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics studies of straight-chain alkanes diffusion in SiO2 ceramic versus Bosanquet formula
Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations were applied to calculate self-diffusion coefficients (Di ) and heats of adsorption for ethane, propane and n-butane. The simulations were done in temperature range of 300-525 K for various concentrations inside the pores of silicalite type zeolite. The calculated values of self-diffusion coefficients and heats of adsorption resulted from the current wo...
