Butane dihedral angle dynamics in water is dominated by internal friction

Abstract: SignificanceThe interpretation of rates of reactions that take place in a solvent is complicated because of the entanglement of free-energy and history-dependent friction effects. In this context, the dihedral dynamics of butane has played a paradigmatic role since it is simple yet relevant for conformational transitions in polymers and proteins. We directly extract the friction that governs the dihedral dynamics in butane from simulations. We show that ∼89% of the total friction cannot be described as solvent… Show more

“…Note that the difference of the MSD at short times stems from the fact that the dynamics for the RTP is assumed overdamped, while the AOUP that we consider obeys underdamped dynamics. Given the velocity autocorrelation function ˙ x (t)˙ x (0) , the memory kernel may be extracted numerically, see [26,[44][45][46] and appendix D. The method finds the kernel for which eq. (6) holds and thus maps a given MSD to its corresponding effective equilibrium Both show the same structure of a positive delta peak at t = 0 followed by a negative exponential tail.…”

“…important for fast molecular transition such as the dihedral barrier dynamics of butane in solvents [15,16]. The effect of the different memory times of the multi-scale memory kernel that have been extracted from simulations will have to be examined in future work.…”

“…Here, we introduce such a method, which is based on the generalized Langevin equation (GLE) [21][22][23]. The GLE has found ample applications in the modeling of molecular systems [24][25][26], microrheological data [27,28], and of non-Markovian dynamics along generalized reaction coordinates [26,[29][30][31][32][33]. The GLE includes colored noise and accounts for non-Markovian effects by a memory kernel that describes for how long the system remembers its past states.…”

“…We extract the memory kernel from cell trajectory data without prior assumptions on the functional form of the memory function, and compare the memory functions on the single-cell level. The Gaussian character of the single-cell velocity distributions allows us to use the linear Langevin equation, but we note that our memory-extraction method in principle also works for nonlinear systems [26].…”
