<Abstract:> Radical copolymerization was theoretically investigated by using correlations between Q-e values and properties of monomers and terminal radical models. As a result, it was found that same e value used for monomers and radicals is reasonable. In addition, it was found that Q value is mainly related in reaction kinetics but not reaction thermodynamics.

<Abstract:> Molecular dynamics simulation was performed on the switching behavior of bistable rotaxane having two interaction points on axial components. The switching behavior was reproduced in the case of the rotaxane composed of amine-ester type axial and DB24C8 crown ether ring. In this system, switching was completed in subnano seconds. It is suggested that DB24C8 is more suitable for switching as a ring component than 24C8, which is analog of DB24C8 having no benzene rings.

<Abstract:> The hyaluronan (HA) binding mechanism on CD44 was investigated by using molecular dynamics simulation. The Ordered (O) and partially disordered (PD) structures have been reported for CD44 HA binding domain (HABD). Two binding forms were investigated for the HA binding for O and PD structures in this study. O and PD structures show different HA binding structures, and the HA binding affinity on the PD structure was larger than that on O structure. The mobility of HA molecule on CD44 was high, especially for O structure. High affinity of HA binding on PD structure is suggested to regulate the rate of cell rolling under blood flow.

<Abstract:> We propose a scheme based on a kind of self-consistent perturbation theory, where both the one-particle Green’s function and the screened Coulomb interaction are determined self-consistently. To describe the screened Coulomb interaction dynamics, we use a functional-integral representation of the free energy. Our main approximation is to replace the exact free energy functional by a variationally chosen quadratic form in the fluctuating field. This procedure leads to the inclusion of electron correlation beyond the GW approximation. As an illustration, the scheme is used to calculate the potential surface of hydrogen fluoride molecule.

<Abstract:> The divide-and-conquer (DC) method was extended to time-dependent density functional tight-binding (TDDFTB) theory to enable excited-state calculations of large systems, as denoted by DC-TDDFTB. In this article, the implementation of TDDFTB and DC-TDDFTB methods into our in-house program, DC-DFTB-K, is explained. Dependence of CPU time on system-size for the DC-TDDFTB calculations indicates significant reduction of computational cost by adopting the DC method. Owing to the feature, excited-state calculations for whole photoactive yellow protein (PYP) surrounded by 4684 water molecules could be carried out in order to examine the hydrogen bond between p-coumaric acid and Glu46 in PYP.

<Abstract:> All isomers for sodium clusters up to Na9 were investigated by graph theory where a vertex and an edge correspond to atom and bond between adjacent atoms, respectively. All isomers, more than 10 million, for Na10 were listed. Structural features for sodium clusters up to Na9 were elucidated by using graph theory. Furthermore, geometrically forbidden graphs were excluded by using molecular mechanics.

<Abstract:> We investigated the structural units of xNa2O-(1 – x) B2O3 glasses using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation with the interatomic potential provided by first-principles calculations. The results are consistent with experimental trends in interatomic distance, linear thermal expansion coefficient and BO4 units. The amount of 5- to 8-membered rings at x = 0.2 is larger than the other composition range. This suggests that the structural unit constructed by a few rings is related to suppression of thermal expansion.

<Abstract:> ドラッグ・デリバリー・システムにおけるナノ微粒子設計の効率化のために,分子シミュレーションによる物性予測や原子分解能のメカニズム解明が望まれている.本研究では,散逸粒子動力学 (DPD) 法とX線小角散乱を用いて,脂質二重膜および混合脂質のベシクル形成の分子メカニズムを明らかにすることを目的として検討を行った.DPDシミュレーションに用いる相互作用パラメータは,フラグメント分子軌道 (FMO) 法を用いて高精度に算定した(FMO-DPD法).脂質二重膜形成の結果から,飽和結合のみをもつリン脂質 (DPPC) よりも不飽和結合をもつリン脂質 (DOPC) の方が,膜流動性が高いことが分かった.さらに,リン脂質と正電荷脂質を混合したベシクルの形成では,正電荷脂質の比率が増えるにつれて膜の流動性が高くなり,球から扁平球へと形状が変化することが明らかとなった.
