Abstract:
Background and objective: The molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is a powerful tool for researching how cancer patients are treated. The efficiency of many factors may be predicted using this approach in great detail and with atomic accuracy.
Methods: The MD simulation method was used to investigate the impact of porosity and the number of cancer cells on the atomic behavior of cancer cells during the hematogenous spread. In order to examine the stability of simulated structures, temperature and potential energy (PE) values are used. To evaluate how cell structure has changed, physical parameters such as gyration radius, interaction force, and interaction energy are also used. Results: The findings demonstrate that the samples’ gyration radius, interaction energy, and interaction force rose
from 41.33 Å, − 551.38 kcal/mol, and − 207.10 kcal/mol Å to 49.49, − 535.94 kcal/mol, and − 190.05 kcal/mol Å, respectively, when the porosity grew from 0% to 5%. Also, the interaction energy and force in the samples fell from − 551.38 kcal/mol and − 207.10 kcal/mol to − 588.03 kcal/mol and − 237.81 kcal/mol Å, and the amount of gyration radius reduced from 41.33 to 37.14 Å as the number of cancer cells rose from 1 to 5 molecules. The strength and stability of the simulated samples will improve when the radius of gyration is decreased. Conclusions: Therefore, high accumulation of cancer cells will make them resistant to atomic collapse. It is ex-pected that the results of this simulation should be used to optimize cancer treatment processes further.
