β¦ Synopsis
The usual hfetropolis ltfonte Carlo afgorithm, when applied to highiy associated liquids iike ST-2 water is _Ehown to be very siow in establishing equilibrium, and often Ieads to bottlenecks in configuration space. A new Jfgorithm is presented in which the Monte Carfo moves are biased in the direction of the forces and torques acting on tbe individual molecule. Comparison with the hfetropoiis scheme shows that this new method is mush more rapidly convergent.

coordination numher model (CNM) has been developed that reproduces coordination numbers generated by rigorous Monte Carlo simulations of dilute aqueous solutions. The molecular coordination number is calculated by using the volume of the Voronoi polyhedron surrounding each solute atom and a set of l
The conformation of the L-alanine zwitterion (ALAZ) in aqueous solution was examined by an ab initio MO method including the solvent effect with the generalized Born (GB) equation. The geometry optimization with the 6-31++G\* basis set gave the (, ) = (80, 8) conformation as the most stable conforma
## Abstract We have explored the performance of a simulation model for Gaussian chains at different concentrations in a good solvent. The Gaussian statistics for the distances between contiguous beads in the model is directly implemented in the individual moves of a Monte Carlo algorithm. When the
A free energy barrier AF+ = 174.2 kJ/mol for the self-exchange electron transfer reaction model Fe+/Fe2+ in water has been calculated by combining Monte Carlo simulations and the statistical perturbation theory. We have shown that, even for those electron transfer reactions that present a very high
