Constant pH simulations with the coarse-grained MARTINI model — Application to oleic acid aggregates
Long chain fatty acids are biologically important molecules with complex and pH sensitive aggregation behavior. The carboxylic head group of oleic acid is ionizable, with the pKa shifting to larger values, even above a value of 7, in certain aggregate states. While experiments have determined the macroscopic phase behavior, we have yet to understand the molecular level details for this complex ...
متن کاملSelf-propelled particles with selective attraction–repulsion interaction: from microscopic dynamics to coarse-grained theories
In this work we derive and analyse coarse-grained descriptions of self-propelled particles with selective attraction–repulsion interaction, where individuals may respond differently to their neighbours depending on their relative state of motion (approach versus movement away). Based on the formulation of a nonlinear Fokker–Planck equation, we derive a kinetic description of the system dynamics...
متن کاملThe "sugar" coarse-grained DNA model.
More than 20 coarse-grained (CG) DNA models have been developed for simulating the behavior of this molecule under various conditions, including those required for nanotechnology. However, none of these models reproduces the DNA polymorphism associated with conformational changes in the ribose rings of the DNA backbone. These changes make an essential contribution to the DNA local deformability...
متن کاملCoarse-grained model of entropic allostery.
Many signaling functions in molecular biology require proteins to bind to substrates such as DNA in response to environmental signals such as the simultaneous binding to a small molecule. Examples are repressor proteins which may transmit information via a conformational change in response to the ligand binding. An alternative entropic mechanism of "allostery" suggests that the inducer ligand c...
متن کاملCoarse-Grained Model of SNARE-Mediated Docking.
Synaptic transmission requires that vesicles filled with neurotransmitter molecules be docked to the plasma membrane by the SNARE protein complex. The SNARE complex applies attractive forces to overcome the long-range repulsion between the vesicle and membrane. To understand how the balance between the attractive and repulsive forces defines the equilibrium docked state we have developed a mode...
