All-Atom Simulations of Proteins
The successful deciphering of the human genome has highlighted an old challenge in protein science: For most of the resolved protein sequences, we do not know the corresponding structures and functions. Neither do we understand in detail the mechanism by which a protein folds into its biologically active form. Computer experiments offer one way to evaluate the sequence–structure relationship an...
متن کاملBenchmarking all-atom simulations using hydrogen exchange.
Long-time molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are now able to fold small proteins reversibly to their native structures [Lindorff-Larsen K, Piana S, Dror RO, Shaw DE (2011) Science 334(6055):517-520]. These results indicate that modern force fields can reproduce the energy surface near the native structure. To test how well the force fields recapitulate the other regions of the energy surface, ...
متن کاملComputer Simulations in Ion-Atom Collisions
Computer simulation has become increasingly important over the last 50 years for modelling and solving different ideas within science. One area in science that computer simulation and its applications is extensively used is Ion-Atom collisions. There are many different aspects to these collisions but this poster will concentrate on measuring the Triply Differential Cross Section (TDCS) for sing...
متن کاملNucleation of amyloid fibrils.
We consider nucleation of amyloid fibrils in the case when the process occurs by the mechanism of direct polymerization of practically fully extended protein segments, i.e., beta-strands, into beta-sheets. Applying the classical nucleation theory, we derive a general expression for the work to form a nanosized amyloid fibril (protofilament) constituted of successively layered beta-sheets. Analy...
متن کاملSelf Consistent Path Sampling: Making Accurate All-Atom Protein Folding Simulations Possible on Small Computer Clusters
We introduce a powerful iterative algorithm to compute protein folding pathways, with realistic all-atom force fields. Using the path integral formalism, we explicitly derive a modified Langevin equation which samples directly the ensemble of reactive pathways, exponentially reducing the cost of simulating thermally activated transitions. The algorithm also yields a rigorous stochastic estimate...
