Coarse-grained model of nucleic acid bases
Atomistic simulations of nucleic acids are prohibitively expensive and, consequently, reduced models of these compounds are of great interest in the field. In this work, we propose a physics-based coarse-grained model of nucleic-acid bases in which each base is represented by several (3-5) interaction centers. van der Waals interactions are modeled by Lennard-Jones spheres with a 12-6 potential...
متن کاملThe MARTINI force field: coarse grained model for biomolecular simulations.
We present an improved and extended version of our coarse grained lipid model. The new version, coined the MARTINI force field, is parametrized in a systematic way, based on the reproduction of partitioning free energies between polar and apolar phases of a large number of chemical compounds. To reproduce the free energies of these chemical building blocks, the number of possible interaction le...
متن کاملPolarizable Water Model for the Coarse-Grained MARTINI Force Field
Coarse-grained (CG) simulations have become an essential tool to study a large variety of biomolecular processes, exploring temporal and spatial scales inaccessible to traditional models of atomistic resolution. One of the major simplifications of CG models is the representation of the solvent, which is either implicit or modeled explicitly as a van der Waals particle. The effect of polarizatio...
متن کاملDevelopment of a coarse-grained α-chitin model on the basis of MARTINI forcefield.
At nanoscale, atomistic simulation is widely used for investigating crystalline chitin fibers, the structural component for many biological materials. However, the longitudinal dimension of naturally occurring chitin fibers exceeds hundreds of nanometer, beyond the investigation range of all-atom simulation due to the limitation of computational power. Under this context, coarse-grained simulat...
متن کاملConstant 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 ...
