The calculation of the time evolution operator in multidimensional systems is a fomiidable task and some results will be discussed in this section. An alternative approach is the calculation of semi-classical dynamics as demonstrated, among others, by Heller [86, 87 and 88], Marcus [89, 90], Taylor [91, 92], Metiu [93, 94] and coworkers (see also [83] as well as the review by Miller [95] for more general aspects of semiclassical dynamics). This method basically consists of replacing the 5-fimction distribution in the true classical calculation by a Gaussian distribution in coordinate space. It allows for a simulation of the vibrational... 

Classical ion trajectory computer simulations based on the BCA are a series of evaluations of two-body collisions. The parameters involved in each collision are tire type of atoms of the projectile and the target atom, the kinetic energy of the projectile and the impact parameter. The general procedure for implementation of such computer simulations is as follows. All of the parameters involved in tlie calculation are defined the surface structure in tenns of the types of the constituent atoms, their positions in the surface and their themial vibration amplitude the projectile in tenns of the type of ion to be used, the incident beam direction and the initial kinetic energy the detector in tenns of the position, size and detection efficiency the type of potential fiinctions for possible collision pairs. 

The lattice atoms in the simulation are assumed to vibrate independently of one another. The displacements from the equilibrium positions of the lattice atoms are taken as a Gaussian distribution, such as... 

It is eonnnon praetiee in elassieal eomputer simulations not to attempt to represent intramoleeular bonds by tenns in the potential energy fiinetion, beeause these bonds have very high vibration frequeneies and should really be treated in a quantum meehanieal way rather than in tire elassieal approximation. Instead, the bonds are treated as being eonstrained to have fixed length, and some straightforward ways have been devised to ineorporate these eonstraints into the dynamies (see later).

In an atomic level simulation, the bond stretch vibrations are usually the fastest motions in the molecular dynamics of biomolecules, so the evolution of the stretch vibration is taken as the reference propagator with the smallest time step. The nonbonded interactions, including van der Waals and electrostatic forces, are the slowest varying interactions, and a much larger time-step may be used. The bending, torsion and hydrogen-bonding forces are treated as intermediate time-scale interactions. 

Among the main theoretical methods of investigation of the dynamic properties of macromolecules are molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and harmonic analysis. MD simulation is a technique in which the classical equation of motion for all atoms of a molecule is integrated over a finite period of time. Harmonic analysis is a direct way of analyzing vibrational motions. Harmonicity of the potential function is a basic assumption in the normal mode approximation used in harmonic analysis. This is known to be inadequate in the case of biological macromolecules, such as proteins, because anharmonic effects, which MD has shown to be important in protein motion, are neglected [1, 2, 3].

Caution During a sininlation, solvent temperature may increase wh ile th e so In te cools. This is particii larly true of sm all solven t molecules, such as water, that can acquire high translational and rotational energies. In contrast, a macromolecule, such as a peptide, retains most of its kinetic energy in vibrational modes. This problem rem ains un solved, an d this n ote of cau tion is provided to advise you to give special care to simulations using solvent. 

Molecular dynamics is a simulation of the time-dependent behavior of a molecular system, such as vibrational motion or Brownian motion. It requires a way to compute the energy of the system, most often using a molecular mechanics calculation. This energy expression is used to compute the forces on the atoms for any given geometry. The steps in a molecular dynamics simulation of an equilibrium system are as follows ... 

In order for this to work, the force field must be designed to describe inter-molecular forces and vibrations away from equilibrium. If the purpose of the simulation is to search conformation space, a force field designed for geometry optimization is often used. For simulating bulk systems, it is more common to use a force field that has been designed for this purpose, such as the GROMOS or OPLS force fields.
