Transcription

1 MD EXPERIMENT Initialization : Relaxation : building molecular system; initial coordinates the system is brought to a state where actual Equilibration : Productive run: Analysis : dynamics can be performed to ensure the system is equilibrated data (trajectory) is accumulated the simulation data are converted to meaningful information

2 INITIALIZATION ( building molecular system; initial coordinates ) RTF residue topology file PARA build parameter file script PSF protein structure file CRD / PDB CRD / PDB coordinate file coordinate file

3 The RESIDUE TOPOLOGY FILE contains definitions of the molecular building blocks (residues) which are used to build large molecular systems: the name of each atom type in the parameter set the mass of each atom type atom s partial charge in a particular residue the covalent structure for each residue the internal coordinates for each residue The PARAMETER FILE is associated with the RTF file and it contains all the necessary parameters for calculating the energy of the molecular system: the equilibrium bond distances and angles the force constants Lennard-Jones 6-12 potential parameters These parameters are associated with particular atom types
