Introduction

Few of us can any longer keep up with the flood of scientific literature, even in specialized subfields. Any attempt to do more and be broadly educated with respect to a large domain of science has the appearance of tilting at windmills. Yet the synthesis of ideas drawn from different subjects into new, powerful, general concepts is as valuable as ever, and the desire to remain educated persists in all scientists. This series, Advances in Chemical Physics, is devoted to helping the reader obtain general information about a wide variety of topics in chemical physics, a field that we interpret very broadly. Our intent is to have experts present comprehensive analyses of subjects of interest and to encourage the expression of individual points of view. We hope that this approach to the presentation of an overview of a subject will both stimulate new research and serve as a personalized learning text for beginners in a field.

Preface

The simple descriptions of molecular dynamics that we envision for small molecules, and apply to other areas of chemical physics, such as chemical kinetics, are often incomplete or even inappropriate when carried over to large, complex molecules, such as those encountered in biology or nanoscale materials. New tools are needed to sort through the dynamics on the energy landscape that underlie the functional motion of biological molecules and energy transport within them. The aim of this volume is to present some of the theoretical and computational methods that have been developed recently to address this challenge. The following chapters provide a summary of topics presented by the authors at several recent workshops in Japan and the United States.

The first two chapters address dynamics and energy flow in biological molecules. Chapter 1 focuses on fast motions and energy transfer in biomolecules, mainly proteins, on the pico- to nanosecond timescale. Besides providing a general introduction to the field, this chapter presents a review of a non-Markovian theory for calculating vibrational energy transfer rates and provides a number of examples. Chapter 2 addresses functional motions of proteins, which can span a wide range of timescales, from nanoseconds to seconds. This chapter provides a review of general concepts and recent computational tools that have been put forth to elucidate functional motions.

Chapter 3 addresses dynamics and energy flow within basins on the energy landscape. While developing kinetic models for transitions between such basins is relatively simple if the dynamics within a basin is ergodic, the situation is much more complex when the assumptions of ergodicity break down. This chapter summarizes our understanding of the nature of nonergodic dynamics and the corresponding mixed phase space from a classical perspective, and reviews a quantum mechanical theory for corresponding systems with a mixed vibrational state space. The latter is also used to correct Rice–Ramsperger–Kassel–Marcus (RRKM) theory predictions of the unimolecular reaction rate when dynamics of the reactant is nonergodic. Continuing along these lines, Chapter 4 presents a review of recent work on non-RRKM kinetics from a classical phase space geometrical perspective. Finally, ergodicity in biological systems is further explored in Chapter 5, where local measures of ergodic and chaotic behavior are related to the topography of the energy landscape.

The chapters of this volume summarize important areas in our current understanding of dynamics and configurational changes of biological molecules and other many-dimensional systems. We hope that the material presented here will contribute further to the rapid development in the theory of these complex processes.
