...I always like to point people to the Braxenthaler/Moult article:

  Braxenthaler et al. "Chaos in protein dynamics" Proteins 29, 417-425 (1997)

Also, perhaps:

  Nerukh et al. "Complexity of classical dynamics of molecular systems.
  II. Finite statistical complexity of a water-Na+ system." J Chem Phys
  117, 9618 (2002)

  Cooke/Schmidler "Statistical prediction and molecular dynamics
  simulation" Biophys J 95, 4497-4511 (2008).
