  Molecular dynamics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is a special discipline of molecular modelling.
In physics, MD is used to examine the dynamics of atomic-level phenomena that cannot be observed directly, such as thin film growth and ion-subplantation.
In Big O notation, common molecular dynamics simulations usually scale by either O(nlog(n)), or with good use of neighbour tables, O(n), with n as the number of molecules.

 Load balancing of molecular dynamics simulation with NWChem
The implementation of the molecular dynamics module of NWChem is based on a domain decomposition of the chemical system, taking advantage of the distribution of data to reduce the memory requirements and the locality of intermolecular interactions to reduce the communication requirements.
Molecular dynamics simulations are an important tool in the study and rational design of molecular systems and materials, providing information about the behavior of chemical systems that can be difficult to obtain by other means.
The molecular dynamics module of NWChem is based on a domain decomposition approach in which all remote data access during the evaluation of atomic forces is performed by one-sided asynchronous communication operations.

 Molecular Dynamics
Molecular dynamics is the science of simulating the motions of a system of particles.
The essential elements for a molecular dynamics simulation are a knowledge of (1) the interaction potential (i.e., potential energy) for the particles, from which the forces can be calculated, and (2) the equations of motion governing the dynamics of the particles.
That is, molecular dynamics is used to animate the molecular model obtained from energy minimization.

 Molecular Dynamics
In the broadest sense, molecular dynamics is concerned with molecular motion.
The basic ingredients of molecular dynamics are the calculation of the force on each atom, and from that information, the position of each atom throughout a specified period of time (typically on the order of picoseconds = 10^-12 seconds).
Molecular dynamics has no defined point of termination other than the amount of time that can be practically covered.

In preparation for molecular dynamics, we docked the GR DBD dimer at H-bonding distance within the DNA major groove halfsites of the 29 bp GRE sequence; we placed the complex in a 10 Angstrom water layer and conducted 300 picoseconds of molecular dynamics.
The results of molecular dynamics, described herein, indicate that the GR DBD interacts with its naturally occuring cognate GRE and flanking nucleotides resulting in DNA bending, strand separation, elongation and unwinding, events which have been associated with helicase activity and transcription initiation (15).

 Molecular Dynamics (MD) Simulation
It is generally not used to predict structure from sequence or to model the protein folding pathway.
MD simulation can fold extended sequences to `global' potential energy minima for very small systems (peptides of length ten, or so, in vacuum), but it is most commonly used to simulate the dynamics of known structures.
Thus, dynamical properties such as time correlation functions and transport coefficients (e.g., diffusion constants, bulk viscosities) can be calculated from a sufficiently long MD trajectory.
