Coarse-grained MD simulations of membrane protein-bilayer self-assembly.
Complete determination of a membrane protein structure requires knowledge of the protein position within the lipid bilayer. As the number of determined structures of membrane proteins increases so does the need for computational methods which predict their position in the lipid bilayer. Here we present a coarse-grained molecular dynamics approach to lipid bilayer self-assembly around membrane p...
متن کاملGPU-Optimized Coarse-Grained MD Simulations of Protein and RNA Folding and Assembly
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations provide a molecular-resolution physical description of the folding and assembly processes, but the size and the timescales of simulations are limited because the underlying algorithm is computationally demanding. We recently introduced a parallel neighbor list algorithm that was specifically optimized for MD simulations on GPUs. In our present study, we analy...
متن کاملCoarse-grained models of tethers for fast self-assembly simulations.
Long molecular ligands or "tethers" play an important role in the self-assembly of many nanoscale systems. These tethers, whose only interaction may be a hard-core repulsion, contribute significantly to the free energy of the system because of their large conformational entropy. Here, we investigate how simple approximate models can be developed and used to quickly determine the configurations ...
متن کاملCoarse-grained simulations of the HIV-1 matrix protein anchoring: revisiting its assembly on membrane domains.
In the accepted model for human immunodeficiency virus preassembly in infected host cells, the anchoring to the intracellular leaflet of the membrane of the matrix domain (MA) that lies at the N-terminus of the viral Gag protein precursor appears to be one of the crucial steps for particle assembly. In this study, we simulated the membrane anchoring of human immunodeficiency virus-1 myristoylat...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of a simple membrane protein: coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations of the influenza M2 channel.
The transmembrane (TM) domain of the M2 channel protein from influenza A is a homotetrameric bundle of alpha-helices and provides a model system for computational approaches to self-assembly of membrane proteins. Coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CG-MD) simulations have been used to explore partitioning into a membrane of M2 TM helices during bilayer self-assembly from lipids. CG-MD is also us...
