Abstract

In this paper, a general purpose molecular simulation system which has been developed by the author, are described. One of the most advantageous features is that the molecular simulation system can handle a coarse-grained model as well as an all-atom mode. Therefore, we can simulate mesoscopic phenomena as well as microscopic phenomena with the help of Langevin dynamics simulation and dissipative particle dynamics simulation techniques. Thus we could study anesthesia, protein folding, biopolymer flow in microchannel with single framework, which spans from microscopic to mesoscopic scales. We expect that we can also simulate many other bio/nano systems of technological importance which are not feasible by means of molecular dynamics simulation technique. Finally, performance data are shown and a bottleneck is identified for future optimization.

본 논문에서는 개발된 범용 분자 시뮬레이션 시스템에 대해 기술하고자 한다. 본 연구에서 개발된 분자 시뮬레이션 시스템의 가장 큰 장점은 다른 무엇보다도 Langevin dynamics simulation이나 dissipative particle dynamics simulation 기법을 도입하여 all-atom 모델뿐만 아니라coarse-grain 모델까지도 다룰 수 있도록 설계하였고 따라서 미시영역은 물론 중간영역에서 일어나는 현상까지도 시뮬레이션 할 수 있도록 설계하였다는 점이다. 이를 통해 하나의 통합된 분자 시뮬레이션 시스템으로 생체막 내에서 마취제의 분포, 단백질 접힘 현상, 마이크로 채널 내에서 생체고분자의 구조와 유동 특성 등과 같이 미시영역에서부터 중간영역에 이르는 다양한 현상을 연구할 수 있게 되었다 개발된 시스템을 이용하면 molecular dynamics simulation에 기반한 분자 시뮬레이션 시스템으로는 불가능한 여러 중요한 바이오/나노 시스템을 시뮬레이션 할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다 마지막으로 벤치마크 결과를 통해 개발된 분자 시뮬레이션 시스템의 성능을 측정하였고 성능 최적화를 위한 병목지점을 조사하였다.
