Molecular dynamics simulation by atomic mass weighting

Boryeu Mao 1, Alan R Friedman 1
PMCID: PMC1281022  PMID: 19431769

Abstract

A molecular dynamics-based simulation method in which atomic masses are weighted is described. Results from this method showed that the capability for conformation search in molecular dynamics simulation of a short peptide (FMRF-amide) is significantly increased by mass weighting.
