A coarse grain model of microtubules
This paper proposes a 3-dimensional coarse grain model of microtubules and treats the tubulin monomer as a sphere of multiple patches, with parameters chosen to yield experimental values of bending and stretching stiffness. The model has demonstrated the ability to produce the bistability of tubulin sheets, elastic deformation near the tip, and cracking and peeling of protofilaments. This model...
متن کاملA coarse-grain molecular dynamics model for sickle hemoglobin fibers.
The intracellular polymerization of deoxy-sickle cell hemoglobin (HbS) has been identified as the main cause of sickle cell disease. Therefore, the material properties and biomechanical behavior of polymerized HbS fibers is a topic of intense research interest. A solvent-free coarse-grain molecular dynamics (CGMD) model is developed to represent a single hemoglobin fiber as four tightly bonded ...
متن کاملPaLaCe: A Coarse-Grain Protein Model for Studying Mechanical Properties.
We present a coarse-grain protein model PaLaCe (Pasi-Lavery-Ceres) that has been developed principally to allow fast computational studies of protein mechanics and to clarify the links between mechanics and function. PaLaCe uses a two-tier protein representation with one to three pseudoatoms representing each amino acid for the main nonbonded interactions, combined with atomic-scale peptide gro...
متن کاملA quantitative coarse-grain model for lipid bilayers.
A simplified particle-based computer model for hydrated phospholipid bilayers has been developed and applied to quantitatively predict the major physical features of fluid-phase biomembranes. Compared with available coarse-grain methods, three novel aspects are introduced. First, the main electrostatic features of the system are incorporated explicitly via charges and dipoles. Second, water is ...
