GRID flexible

The aim of the present chapter is to describe a recent in silico method. It is fast, easy and computationally inexpensive, and able to predict human cytochrome regioselective metabolism using ad hoc developed 3D homology models for the enzymes and the 3D structure of the potential substrates. The method uses GRID flexible molecular interaction fields as well as the 3D structure of the potential substrates, automatically providing the site of metabolism (i.e. the place where the metabolic reactions occur) in graphical output. 

Hybrid grids are used for very complex geometries where combination of structured mesh segments joined by zones of unstructured mesh can provide the best approach for discretization of the problem domain. The flexibility gained by combining structured and unstructured mesh segments also provides a facility to improve accuracy of the numerical solutions for field problems of a complicated nature. Figure 6.3 shows an example of this type of computational mesh. 

Grid-Type Couplings. Another type of flexible couplings, similar to disk couplings, is the grid type (Fig. 14c). These are appHed for moderate loads and allow parallel misalignment up to 0.1 mm (0.005 ia.). Lubrication is also requited.

MC simulations and semianalytical theories for diffusion of flexible polymers in random porous media, which have been summarized [35], indicate that the diffusion coefficient in random three-dimensional media follows the Rouse behavior (D N dependence) at short times, and approaches the reptation limit (D dependence) for long times. By contrast, the diffusion coefficient follows the reptation limit for a highly ordered media made from infinitely long rectangular rods connected at right angles in three-dimensional space (Uke a 3D grid). 

Coordination networks can be crystallized from the zinc ion and 4,4 -bipyridyl.283,284 Some of these networks, including that of Hoskins et al. show interpenetration of an independent grid such as square sheets.2 These do not form spontaneously with bridging hydroxides as is observed with flexible bipyridyls. 

Wraparound in three dimensions is more complicated to program and very much more complicated to visualize. In one dimension, we accomplished wraparound by making neighbors of the two most extreme points in the map. In two dimensions, we needed to join outer edges of the map, but, in three dimensions, exterior faces at the extremes of the grid must be connected. The additional computational bookkeeping required to work in three dimensions may cancel out any extra flexibility that it provides in the evolution of a cubic or tetrahedral SOM.
