A Coarse-Grained Protein Model in a Water-like Solvent
Simulations employing an explicit atom description of proteins in solvent can be computationally expensive. On the other hand, coarse-grained protein models in implicit solvent miss essential features of the hydrophobic effect, especially its temperature dependence, and have limited ability to capture the kinetics of protein folding. We propose a free space two-letter protein ("H-P") model in a...
متن کاملReintroducing explicit solvent to a solvent-free coarse-grained model.
A unique coarse-grained modeling scheme that combines a systematic, solvent-free multiscale coarse-graining algorithm for a complex macromolecule with an existing coarse-grained solvent model is proposed. We show that this procedure efficiently and reliably describes the interactions for complex macromolecules, using the specific example of dendrimers binding phenanthrenes in water. The experim...
متن کاملAllostery in a coarse-grained model of protein dynamics.
We propose a criterion for optimal parameter selection in coarse-grained models of proteins and develop a refined elastic network model (ENM) of bovine trypsinogen. The unimodal density-of-states distribution of the trypsinogen ENM disagrees with the bimodal distribution obtained from an all-atom model; however, the bimodal distribution is recovered by strengthening interactions between atoms t...
متن کاملSolvent-free coarse-grained lipid model for large-scale simulations.
A coarse-grained molecular model, which consists of a spherical particle and an orientation vector, is proposed to simulate lipid membrane on a large length scale. The solvent is implicitly represented by an effective attractive interaction between particles. A bilayer structure is formed by orientation-dependent (tilt and bending) potentials. In this model, the membrane properties (bending rig...
متن کاملCollapse transition of a hydrophobic self-avoiding random walk in a coarse-grained model solvent.
In order to study solvation effects on protein folding, we analyze the collapse transition of a self-avoiding random walk composed of hydrophobic segments that is embedded in a lattice model of a solvent. As expected, hydrophobic interactions lead to an attractive potential of mean force among chain segments. As a consequence, the random walk in solvent undergoes a collapse transition at a high...
