An algorithm is presented within the context of the calculation of the time-relaxation behavior of the hydration shells around atomic sites in biomolecules. We report a calculation of the time-relaxation behavior of the first and second hydration shells of polar, hydrophobic, and charged groups in a protein, crambin. The water mean residence times around protein groups are obtained from averages over configurations sampled during a 325-ps molecular dynamics simulation of crambin in solution. A convolution arising in the calculation of the mean relaxation time is implemented using a parallel prefix operator. A new characterization is given of the parallel prefix operator as a linear transformation, and this formulation enables us to derive efficient factorization of the convolution as a product of two parallel prefix operations. The parallel prefix operations are implemented in logarithmic time. (C) 1993 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
