Computer simulations of phospholipid-membrane thermodynamic fluctuations
This paper reports all-atom computer simulations of five phospholipid membranes, DMPC, DPPC, DMPG, DMPS, and DMPSH, with a focus on the thermal equilibrium fluctuations of volume, energy, area, thickness, and order parameter. For the slow fluctuations at constant temperature and pressure (defined by averaging over 0.5 nanosecond) volume and energy exhibit strong correlation. These quantities on...
متن کاملComputer Aided Molecular Modeling Of Membrane Metalloprotease
Molecular modeling is a set of computational techniques for construction of 3D structure of a protein especially membrane bound proteins whose structures can not be elucidated using experimental techniques. These techniques has been applied in the study of membrane metalloproteases for comparing wild and mutated enzymes, docking inhibitors in the catalytic site and examination of binding pocket...
متن کاملComputer simulations of membrane protein folding: structure and dynamics.
A lattice model of membrane proteins with a composite energy function is proposed to study their folding dynamics and native structures using Monte Carlo simulations. This model successfully predicts the seven helix bundle structure of sensory rhodopsin I by practicing a three-stage folding. Folding dynamics of a transmembrane segment into a helix is further investigated by varying the cooperat...
متن کاملComputer simulations of de novo designed helical proteins.
In the context of reduced protein models, Monte Carlo simulations of three de novo designed helical proteins (four-member helical bundle) were performed. At low temperatures, for all proteins under consideration, protein-like folds having different topologies were obtained from random starting conformations. These simulations are consistent with experimental evidence indicating that these de no...
متن کاملConvergence of molecular dynamics simulations of membrane proteins.
The central question in evaluating almost any result from a molecular dynamics simulation is whether the calculation has converged. Unfortunately, assessing the ergodicity of a single trajectory is very difficult to do. In this work, we assess the sampling of molecular dynamics simulations of the membrane protein rhodopsin by comparing the results from 26 independent trajectories, each run for ...
