KIMMDY
We have developed a simulation scheme called KIMMDY (Kinetic Monte Carlo / Molecular Dynamics) that enables covalent bond breakages in all-atom Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. The bond rupture rates are calculated based on the interatomic distances in the MD simulation and then serve as an input for a Kinetic Monte Carlo step. This hybrid approach allows to study breakages in large molecular systems (like the structural protein collagen) bridging various time scales between MD and the rupture processes.
