Successful stabilization and preservation of biological materials often utilize low temperatures and dehydration to arrest molecular motion. Cryoprotectants are routinely employed to help the biological entities survive the physicochemical and mechanical stresses induced by cold or dryness. Molecular interactions between biomolecules, cryoprotectants, and water fundamentally determine the outcomes of preservation. The optimization of assays using the empirical approach is often limited in structural and temporal resolution, whereas classical molecular dynamics simulations can provide a cost-effective glimpse into the atomic-level structure and interaction of individual molecules that dictate macroscopic behavior. Computational research on biomolecules, cryoprotectants, and water has provided invaluable insights into the development of new cryoprotectants and the optimization of preservation methods. We describe the rapidly evolving state of the art of molecular simulations of these complex systems, summarize the molecular-scale protective and stabilizing mechanisms, and discuss the challenges that motivate continued innovation in this field.

AbstractLarge-scale molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the atomiclevel stresses on InAs/GaAs mesas. The simulations are based on an interatomic-potential scheme for InAs/GaAs systems which depends on the local chemical composition. Multiresolution techniques are used to speed up the simulations. InAs/GaAs square mesas with { 101 }-type sidewalls are studied. The atomic-level pressure distribution and surface atomic stresses on the sidewalls with 12, 10, 8 and 6 monolayers of InAs overlayers have been calculated.

High performing organic semiconducting polymers show great potentials for use in electronic devices which is greatly dependent on the material crystallinity and packing. A series of short oligomers of the diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-based materials that have shown to have high charge mobility are studied to understand the local structuring at atomic level for these materials. The simulations show that the tendency for this material class to form aggregates is driven by the interaction between DPP fragments, but this is modulated by the other conjugated fragments of the materials which afect the rigidity of the polymer and the ability to form aggregates of larger size.<br>
