Collective Dynamics in Allosteric Transitions: A Molecular Dynamics Study
Hemoglobin (Hb) is the prototype of an allosteric protein. Still, its molecular allosteric mechanism is not fully understood. To elucidate the mechanism of cooperativity on an atomistic level, we developed a novel computational technique to analyse the coupling of tertiary and quaternary motions. From Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations showing spontaneous quaternary transitions, we separated t...
متن کاملCollective ionic dynamics in the liquid Na-Cs alloy: an ab initio molecular dynamics study.
We present results for several structural and dynamical properties of the liquid Na-Cs alloy. The study has been carried out by means of the orbital-free ab initio molecular dynamics method, combined with local ionic pseudopotentials constructed within the same framework. The results show good agreement with the available experimental data, reproducing the homocoordinating tendency exhibited by...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Integration Meets Standard Theory of Molecular Vibrations
An iterative SISM (split integration symplectic method) for molecular dynamics (MD) integration is described. This work explores an alternative for the internal coordinate system prediction in the SISM introduced by JaneZic et al. (J. Chem. Phys. 2005, 122, 174101). The SISM, which employs a standard theory of molecular vibrations, analytically resolves the internal high-frequency molecular vib...
متن کاملCollective dynamics in binary liquids: a molecular dynamics study of the composition dependence of the spectra of collective excitations.
The spectra of longitudinal and transverse collective excitations in liquid binary metallic Na(c)K(1-c) alloys are studied for pure components and four different concentrations. A theoretical generalized collective modes approach is used to analyze the concentration dependence of the dispersion of acoustic and optic branches in a wide region of wavenumbers. The dispersion of longitudinal collec...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations of helix denaturation.
An understanding of the structural transitions that an alpha-helix undergoes will help to elucidate such motions in proteins and their role in protein folding. We present the results of molecular dynamics simulations to investigate these transitions in a short polyalanine peptide (13 residues) both in vacuo and in the presence of solvent. The denaturation of this peptide was monitored as a func...
