Coarse-Grained Potential Model for Structural Prediction of Confined Water.
We propose a coarse-grained potential model to predict the concentration and potential profiles of confined water. In this model, we represent one water molecule with one coarse-grained bead, such that the interactions between the coarse-grained beads are given by isotropic two-body potentials. Due to the inherent inhomogeneity of the confined water microstructure, we find that a single spatial...
متن کاملDiscrete breathers in a realistic coarse-grained model of proteins.
We report the results of molecular dynamics simulations of an off-lattice protein model featuring a physical force-field and amino-acid sequence. We show that localized modes of nonlinear origin, discrete breathers (DBs), emerge naturally as continuations of a subset of high-frequency normal modes residing at specific sites dictated by the native fold. DBs are time-periodic, space-localized vib...
متن کاملExact Energy Landscapes of Proteins Using a Coarse-Grained Model
The understanding of the relation between the amino acid sequence and the spatial structure of the protein is an open task since many decades. Some tools for the prediction of protein structures from known ones were developed, but they let unanswered fundamental questions about properties of folded proteins and the folding process itself. Recently, coarse-grained models were developed, which ar...
متن کاملProtein secondary-structure description with a coarse-grained model.
A coarse-grained geometrical model for protein secondary-structure description and analysis is presented which uses only the positions of the C(α) atoms. A space curve connecting these positions by piecewise polynomial interpolation is constructed and the folding of the protein backbone is described by a succession of screw motions linking the Frenet frames at consecutive C(α) positions. Using ...
متن کاملA coarse-grained model for DNA origami
Modeling tools provide a valuable support for DNA origami design. However, current solutions have limited application for conformational analysis of the designs. In this work we present a tool for a thorough study of DNA origami structure and dynamics. The tool is based on a novel coarse-grained model dedicated to geometry optimization and conformational analysis of DNA origami. We explored the...
