Molekuladynamikaszimulációk, often abbreviated as MD szimulációk, are a type of computational simulation used to study the physical movements of atoms and molecules over time. These simulations are based on classical mechanics, treating atoms and molecules as point masses interacting through defined force fields. The core principle involves calculating the forces between all particles in a system and then using Newton's laws of motion to integrate these forces over small time steps, predicting the trajectory of each particle. This process allows researchers to observe how a system evolves dynamically, revealing properties that are difficult or impossible to measure experimentally.

MD simulations are widely applied in various scientific disciplines. In chemistry, they are used to understand reaction mechanisms, solvation processes, and the behavior of complex molecules like proteins and nucleic acids. Materials science utilizes MD to investigate material properties, phase transitions, and defect dynamics at the atomic level. In biology, MD simulations are crucial for studying protein folding, drug-target interactions, and the behavior of biological membranes. The accuracy of MD simulations depends heavily on the quality of the force field used to describe interatomic interactions and the computational resources available to simulate larger systems for longer durations. Despite their approximations, MD simulations provide invaluable insights into the microscopic world.
