分子模拟中的四元数

Quaternions in molecular modeling

Charles F. F. Karney

摘要:

四元数是描述分子取向的重要工具。本文考虑使用四元数在匹配两个构象的分子,在插值旋转,在进行统计的取向数据,在随机抽样的旋转,并在建立网格的取向空间。这些例子表明,在分子建模中出现的许多旋转问题可以简单有效地使用四元数处理。

英文摘要:

Quaternions are an important tool to describe the orientation of a molecule. This paper considers the use of quaternions in matching two conformations of a molecule, in interpolating rotations, in performing statistics on orientational data, in the random sampling of rotations, and in establishing grids in orientation space. These examples show that many of the rotational problems that arise in molecular modeling may be handled simply and efficiently using quaternions.
