The Role and Perspective of Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics in the Study of Biological Systems

Abstract

Ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) allows realistic simulations to be performed without adjustable parameters. In recent years, the technique has been used on an increasing number of applications to biochemical systems. Here we describe the principles on which ab initio MD is based. We focus on the most popular implementation, based on density functional theory and plane wave basis set. By a survey of recent applications, we show that despite the current limitations of size and time scale, ab initio MD (and hybrid ab initio MD/MM approaches) can play an important role for the modeling of biological systems. Finally, we provide a perspective for the advancement of methodological approaches which may further expand the scope of ab initio MD in biomolecular modeling.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
