AbstractThe spatial redistribution of niobium atoms near the surface of pure nickel has been considered in the low niobium concentration limit. The calculation of free energy includes lattice relaxation around niobium atoms by using molecular dynamics (MD) incorporating atomistic potentials based on ab-initio quantum mechanical calculations and includes vibrational entropy phenomenologically within the local harmonic approximation.

Both molecular mechanical and quantum mechanical calculations play an important role in describing the behavior and structure of molecules. In this work, we compare for the same peptide systems the results obtained from folding molecular dynamics simulations with previously reported results from quantum mechanical calculations. More specifically, three molecular dynamics simulations of 5 μs each in explicit water solvent were carried out for three Asn-Gly-containing heptapeptides, in order to study their folding and dynamics. Previous data, based on quantum mechanical calculations within the DFT framework have shown that these peptides adopt β-turn structures in aqueous solution, with type I’ β-turn being the most preferred motif. The results from our analyses indicate that at least for the given systems, force field and simulation protocol, the two methods diverge in their predictions. The possibility of a force field-dependent deficiency is examined as a possible source of the observed discrepancy.
