Melting of the solvent structure around a RNA duplex: a molecular dynamics simulation study.
From three 2.4-ns molecular dynamics simulations of the r(CpG)(12) duplex conducted at 5, 25 and 37 degrees C, a strong temperature dependence of the dynamics of the water molecules and ions located in the first nucleic acid coordination shell is observed. At 5 degrees C, the highest residence times of bound water molecules exceed 1 ns while, at 37 degrees C, they decrease to 0.5 ns in agreemen...
متن کاملStructure and dynamics of solvent shells around photoexcited metal complexes.
Understanding the geometry, energetics and dynamics of solvated transition metal (TM) compounds is decisive in characterizing and optimizing their function. Here, we demonstrate that it is possible to quantify the structural dynamics of solvated [Ru(II)(bpy)3], an important TM-complex for solar-energy harvesting research, by using state-of-the art force fields together with molecular simulation...
متن کاملComputer simulation of the ionic atmosphere around Z-DNA.
We describe a coarse-grained model for Z-DNA that mimics the DNA shape with a relatively small number of repulsive interaction sites. In addition, negative charges are placed at the phosphate positions. The ionic atmosphere around this grooved Z-DNA model is then investigated with Monte Carlo simulation. Cylindrically averaged concentration profiles as well as the spatial distribution of ions h...
متن کاملAngular Forces around Transition Metals in Biomolecules
Quantum-mechanical analysis based on an exact sum rule is used to extract an semiclassical angle-dependent energy function for transition metal ions in biomolecules. The angular dependence is simple but different from existing classical potentials. Comparison of predicted energies with a computergenerated database shows that the semiclassical energy function is remarkably accurate, and that its...
متن کاملComputer simulation of bottle-brush polymers with flexible backbone: good solvent versus theta solvent conditions.
By molecular dynamics simulation of a coarse-grained bead-spring-type model for a cylindrical molecular brush with a backbone chain of N(b) effective monomers to which with grafting density σ side chains with N effective monomers are tethered, several characteristic length scales are studied for variable solvent quality. Side chain lengths are in the range 5 ≤ N ≤ 40, backbone chain lengths are...
