Solution conformation of phakellistatin 8 investigated by molecular dynamics simulations.
Phakellistatin 8 is a cyclic decapeptide that inhibits cancer cell growth and has sequence and structure similar to antamanide. In molecular dynamics simulations of phakellistatin 8 in water, the decapeptide ring undergoes a conformational change from the saddle-like crystal structure to a more elongated conformation by a transition of the Tyr9 main chain from the alpha L to an extended structu...
متن کاملMPSA effects on copper electrodeposition investigated by molecular dynamics simulations.
In superconformal filling of copper-chip interconnects, organic additives are used to fill high-aspect-ratio trenches or vias from the bottom up. In this study we report on the development of intermolecular potentials and use molecular dynamics simulations to provide insight into the molecular function of an organic additive (3-mercaptopropanesulfonic acid or MPSA) important in superconformal e...
متن کاملPeptide folding in non - aqueous environments investigated with molecular dynamics simulations
Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations have been performed on a series of mutants of the 20 amino acid peptide Betanova in order to critically assess the ability of MD simulations to reproduce the folding and stability of small β-sheet forming peptides on currently accessible time scales. Simulations were performed in both water and in 40% methanol solution using an explicit solvent model. The sim...
متن کاملImmunogenicity of peptide-vaccine candidates predicted by molecular dynamics simulations.
We present an in silico, structure-based approach for design and evaluation of conformationally restricted peptide-vaccines. In particular, we designed four cyclic peptides of ten or 11 residues mimicking the crystallographically observed beta-turn conformation of a predicted immunodominant loop of PorA from Neisseria meningitidis. Conformational correctness and stability of the peptide designs...
متن کاملStructure and Dynamics of Liquid Diphenyl Carbonate Investigated by Molecular Dynamics Simulations
We study liquid diphenyl carbonate (DPC) with molecular dynamics simulations in the temperature range from 350 to 600 K. The diiusion behavior as well as structural and relaxation properties of this complex liquid are analyzed in detail. To this end, an all-atom force eld is developed for DPC. We studied two sets of partial charges and the innuence of the torsion barrier at the carbonate group....
