带凹槽的微通道中液滴运动数值模拟

运用改进的耗散粒子动力学方法模拟了液滴在由凹槽所构成的粗糙表面微通道内的运动行为.改进的耗散粒子动力学方法采用新近提出的一种短程排斥、长程吸引相互作用势能函数,从而可以模拟带有自由面的流体,如液滴等.模拟了新势能函数下液滴与固体壁面的静态接触角,并用2次多项式拟合了"接触角-a_wf/a_f"变化曲线.研究了液滴在带凹槽的微通道中运动时,微通道壁面浸润性、外场力、液滴温度对液滴流动特性的影响.研究表明壁面浸润性和外场力对液滴流动特性的影响较大,液滴温度对液滴流动特性的影响较小.研究结果对运用耗散粒子动力学方法模拟并分析微流体在复杂微通道的流动有一定的参考价值.     

Multi-scale molecular dynamics simulations and applications on mechanosensitive proteins of integrins

Molecular dynamics simulation(MDS)is a powerful technology for investigating evolution dynamics of target proteins,and it is used widely in various fields from materials to biology.This mini-review introduced the principles,main preforming procedures,and advances of MDS,as well as its applications on the studies of conformational and allosteric dynamics of proteins especially on that of the mechanosensitive integrins.Future perspectives were also proposed.This review could provide clues in understanding the potentiality of MD simulations in structure–function relationship investigation of biological proteins.
