Theory water dynamics

The soundest energetic definition seems to be that of assuming HB — 3.5 kcal/mol this value corresponds to the temperature-invariant point exhibited by p(V) (see Fig. 1). However, the dependence of Mjjb on temperature turns out to be more or less marked according to whether the definition is stronger or weaker. As a consequence pg cannot be derived straightforwardly from the computer simulation alone, even if this turns out to be useful as a checking tool. Furthermore, in our opinion, a theory for dynamics should be comprehensive and coherent, able to account for the thermodynamic and structural properties of water. 

As mentioned in the introduction, water is a quite ubiquitous substance on earth, and most chemical reactions proceed in water. As a problem in chemistry, water is especially relevant and thus should be investigated in great detail. However, if one views water as an object studied within the theory of dynamical systems, it is rather specific and not generic. The first task we should do would be to extract the... 

In this chapter we have described a theory for dynamics of polyatomic fluids based on the memory-function formalism and on the interaction-site representation of molecular liquids. Approximation schemes for memory functions appearing in the generalized Langevin equation have been developed by assuming an exponential form for memory functions and by employing the mode-coupling approach. Numerical results were presented for longitudinal current spectra of a model diatomic liquid and water, and it has been discussed how the results can be interpreted in... 

In previous models of the interaction of water with hydrophilic polymers, it is generally hypothesized that the water molecules are either bonded to specific polymer chain sites or are freely dispersed homogeneously throughout the amorphous polymer matrix (Huang and Yang, 2005). However, based on the FT-IR analysis of the BIN-SMPU, the moisture absorption mechanism can be explained by the theory of dynamic combinatorial chemistry or constitutional dynamic chemistry proposed by Lehn (2007), which relies on the selection of the thermodynamically most stable product from an equilibrating mixture. 

Various equations of state have been developed to treat association ia supercritical fluids. Two of the most often used are the statistical association fluid theory (SAET) (60,61) and the lattice fluid hydrogen bonding model (LEHB) (62). These models iaclude parameters that describe the enthalpy and entropy of association. The most detailed description of association ia supercritical water has been obtained usiag molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo computer simulations (63), but this requires much larger amounts of computer time (64—66).

Equation (4-5) can be directly utilized in statistical mechanical Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations by choosing an appropriate QM model, balancing computational efficiency and accuracy, and MM force fields for biomacromolecules and the solvent water. Our group has extensively explored various QM/MM methods using different quantum models, ranging from semiempirical methods to ab initio molecular orbital and valence bond theories to density functional theory, applied to a wide range of applications in chemistry and biology. Some of these studies have been discussed before and they are not emphasized in this article. We focus on developments that have not been often discussed.

By asserting that the film thickness remains proportional to the 2/3 power of the capillary number, they establish that the dynamic pressure drop for surfactant-laden bubbles also varies with the capillary number to the 2/3 power but with an unknown constant of proportionality. New pressure-drop data for a 1 wt% commercial surfactant, sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (Siponate DS-10), in water, after correction for the liquid indices between the bubbles, confirmed the 2/3 power dependence on Ca and revealed significant increases over the Bretherton theory due to the soluble surfactant. 

Three theory papers are also included. Determinants of the Polyproline II Helix from Modeling Studies by Creamer and Campbell reexamines and extends an earlier hypothesis about Pn and its determinants. Hydration Theory for Molecular Biophysics by Paulaitis and Pratt discusses the crucial role of water in both folded and unfolded proteins. Unfolded State of Peptides by Daura et al. focuses on the unfolded state of peptides studied primarily by molecular dynamics.
