Description:
This material demonstrates the use of animated computer graphics to represent the results of molecular dynamics simulations of liquids and solutions. The first example presents a simulation of a 0.43 molar solution of lithium formate. The second example is based on a simulation of z-DNA in water. The molecular dynamics calculations employed 1851 water molecules surrounding one turn of z-DNA. The animated graphics show the z-DNA alone and with selected subsets of the water molecules.
