Using first-principles total-energy CalCUlatiOnS the lattice relaxation, surface energy, work function and surface phonons have been determined for the Pt( 100)-surface. Calculation of forces allows for a very efficient determination of equilibrium geometries and interplanar force constants. Results

โฆ Synopsis
The structural and dynamical properties of water next to the Pt( 111) and Pt( 100) surfaces were investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. At 300 K, the water layer adjacent to the surface displays solid-like properties. The adsorption sites for the water molecules are determined by the location of Pt atoms and the geometry of the surface. It is found that the Pt( 11 I ) surface induces a hexagonal pattern in the structure of adsorbed water layer. Patches of ice-like structure were also noticed in this layer.
On both surfaces, the next two layers of water were found to display an orientational bias towards the ordering observed in ice-I.

Molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out for 1 ns on human and bovine angiogenin systems in an effort to compare and contrast their dynamics. An analysis of their dynamics is done by examining the rms deviations, following hydrogen-bonding interactions and looking at the role of water in
