An attempt toward the generalized Langevin dynamics simulation

Abstract

An attempt to generalize the Langevin dynamics simulation method is presented based on the generalized Langevin theory of liquids, in which the dynamics of both solute and solvent is treated by the generalized Langevin equations, but the integration of the equation of motion of solute is made in the manner similar to the ordinary molecular dynamics simulation with discretized time steps along a trajectory. A preliminary result is derived based on an assumption of the uniform solvent density. The result is regarded to be a microscopic generalization of the phenomenological Langevin theory for the harmonic oscillator immersed in a continuum solvent developed by Wang and Uhlenbeck.

Statistical mechanics theory of molecular recognition and pharmaceutical design

“…The methodology is currently under construction, and some prospective view of the theory will be presented in near future [79]. One of those is the 'dynamics' or time-dependent process concerning MR, a typical example being the gating mechanism of ion channels.…”

A modern solvation theory: quantum chemistry and statistical chemistry

“…62 Several new approaches have also been reported. [64][65][66][67] Finally, we briefly comment on solvation dynamics. The original RISM and other IE theories are basically theories of the equilibrium state.…”

An integral equation theory for solvation effects on the molecular structural fluctuation

“…While a simplified approach was adopted to describe polymer solutions, [9][10][11][12] the intramolecular correlation functions have been discussed so far to characterize the structure of polyatomic molecules. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] Among them, Yokogawa et al proposed a new IET, 22 in which the correlation function was divided into two parts; reference (ω ref ) and residual (∆ω) parts. While the former was computed from Monte Carlo a) hirofumi@moleng.kyoto-u.ac.jp simulation on an isolated molecule, the latter part representing a change of intramolecular correlation functions attributed to many body effect in the liquid is obtained based on a new IET.…”
