The Ewald dynamical diffraction theory--ninety years later.

Acta Crystallogr A

Institute of Physical Engineering, Brno University of Technology, 616 69 Brno, Technická 2, Czech Republic.

Published: March 2005

Diffraction on a crystalline slab formed by point-like scattering centres is treated as a multiple scattering problem based on the Ewald equations. Using general results expressed in a lucid matrix form, the two-beam solution for both coplanar and non-coplanar cases valid near and far from Bragg peaks is found and a detailed comparison of the final formulae obtained with those following from Laue's theory is performed.

Chemical and Materials Physics Graduate Program, Departments of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, and Biomedical Engineering, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, California 92697, United States.

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are essential for understanding molecular phenomena at the atomic level, with their accuracy largely dependent on both the employed force field and sampling. Polarizable force fields, which incorporate atomic polarization effects, represent a significant advancement in simulation technology. The polarizable Gaussian multipole (pGM) model has been noted for its accurate reproduction of ab initio electrostatic interactions.

Force Field Limitations of All-Atom Continuous Constant pH Molecular Dynamics.

All-atom constant pH molecular dynamics simulations offer a powerful tool for understanding pH-mediated and proton-coupled biological processes. As the protonation equilibria of protein side chains are shifted by electrostatic interactions and desolvation energies, p values calculated from the constant pH simulations may be sensitive to the underlying protein force field and water model. Here we investigated the force field dependence of the all-atom particle mesh Ewald (PME) continuous constant pH (PME-CpHMD) simulations of a mini-protein BBL.

We develop a computational method for modeling electrostatic interactions of arbitrarily shaped, polarizable objects on colloidal length scales, including colloids/nanoparticles, polymers, and surfactants, dispersed in explicit ion electrolytes and nonionic solvents. Our method computes the nonuniform polarization charge distribution induced in a colloidal particle by both externally applied electric fields and local electric fields arising from other charged objects in the dispersion. This leads to expressions for electrostatic energies, forces, and torques that enable efficient molecular dynamics and Brownian dynamics simulations of colloidal dispersions in electrolytes, which can be harnessed to accurately predict structural and transport properties.
