Solvent-free coarse-grained lipid model for large-scale simulations.
A coarse-grained molecular model, which consists of a spherical particle and an orientation vector, is proposed to simulate lipid membrane on a large length scale. The solvent is implicitly represented by an effective attractive interaction between particles. A bilayer structure is formed by orientation-dependent (tilt and bending) potentials. In this model, the membrane properties (bending rig...
متن کاملSolvent-Free, Highly Coarse-Grained Models for Charged Lipid Systems
We present a methodology to develop coarse-grained lipid models such that electrostatic interactions between the coarse-grained sites can be derived accurately from an all-atom molecular dynamics trajectory and expressed as an effective pairwise electrostatic potential with appropriate screening functions. The reference nonbonded forces from the all-atom trajectory are decomposed into separate ...
متن کاملReintroducing explicit solvent to a solvent-free coarse-grained model.
A unique coarse-grained modeling scheme that combines a systematic, solvent-free multiscale coarse-graining algorithm for a complex macromolecule with an existing coarse-grained solvent model is proposed. We show that this procedure efficiently and reliably describes the interactions for complex macromolecules, using the specific example of dendrimers binding phenanthrenes in water. The experim...
متن کاملHigh-Resolution Coarse-Grained Modeling Using Oriented Coarse-Grained Sites.
We introduce a method to bring nearly atomistic resolution to coarse-grained models, and we apply the method to proteins. Using a small number of coarse-grained sites (about one per eight atoms) but assigning an independent three-dimensional orientation to each site, we preferentially integrate out stiff degrees of freedom (bond lengths and angles, as well as dihedral angles in rings) that are ...
متن کاملA Coarse-Grained Protein Model in a Water-like Solvent
Simulations employing an explicit atom description of proteins in solvent can be computationally expensive. On the other hand, coarse-grained protein models in implicit solvent miss essential features of the hydrophobic effect, especially its temperature dependence, and have limited ability to capture the kinetics of protein folding. We propose a free space two-letter protein ("H-P") model in a...
