Round 9: Tossup 13

A form of this technique uses the WHAM method to analyze multiple rounds of umbrella sampling. This technique uses (15[1])the AMBER package to provide parameter sets for generating one construct. Using an (15[1])algorithm named for Bussi, Donadio, and Parrinello avoids the “flying ice cube” effect in this technique. (-5[1])Alder and Wainwright first used this technique to study elastic collisions between hard spheres. This technique uses the (*) isothermal-isobaric ensemble to resemble lab conditions. It’s not related to computer graphics, but Verlet integration is used (10[1])for calculations in this technique, which shows larger macromolecules using coarse-grained force fields in a box. (10[1])For 10 points, name this simulation technique in computational chemistry that numerically solves Newton’s equations of motion for a system of particles. (10[1])■END■ (0[2])
