Abstract: | A block version of the Shake method for heavy atom simulation in biological systems is presented in this paper. The method
solves successively, independent blocks of constraints of small size by a Newton method. This algorithm is implemented in
TAKAKAW, an efficient parallel molecular dynamics code. This method has been tested on a small system and on an ionic canal
of 67671 atoms.
This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date. |
