摘要Collisions of a low energy heavy ion with a myoglobin in water are simulated by molecular dynamics model. The increase of total energy is very small. The mean squared fluctuation decreases at 300K and increases at 250K. This is an important novel cooling effect that protects the protein from ion damage. The possible collision side effect is the change of tertiary structure that blocks the normal functions of the myoglobin.
