  • Molecular dynamics simulation method and apparatus
    Patent number: 5424963
    Abstract: A computer-assisted method for generating a dynamic model of a molecule is described based on information of the atomic structure. The model data is defined by rigid bodies corresponding to groups of atoms of the molecule with substantially no relative movement between the atoms, flexible bodies corresponding to groups of atoms which are characterized by relative movement between the atoms, and flexure elements which define an interconnection of two of the rigid bodies and the flexible bodies and predetermined degrees of freedom.
