Monoamine transporters: insights from molecular dynamics simulations
The human monoamine transporters (MATs) facilitate the reuptake of the neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine from the synaptic cleft. Imbalance in monoaminergic neurotransmission is linked to various diseases including major depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, schizophrenia, and Parkinson's disease. Inhibition of the MATs is thus an important strategy for t...
متن کاملProtein Folding Properties from Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Our understanding of protein folding has improved tremendously due to computer simulations of molecular dynamics (MD), but determining protein folding kinetics and thermodynamics from all-atom MD simulations without using experimental data still represents a formidable scientific challenge. Simulations can easily get trapped in local minima on rough free energy landscapes and folding events may...
متن کاملCalcium Induced Regulation of Skeletal Troponin — Computational Insights from Molecular Dynamics Simulations
The interaction between calcium and the regulatory site(s) of striated muscle regulatory protein troponin switches on and off muscle contraction. In skeletal troponin binding of calcium to sites I and II of the TnC subunit results in a set of structural changes in the troponin complex, displaces tropomyosin along the actin filament and allows myosin-actin interaction to produce mechanical force...
متن کاملInsights into channel dysfunction from modelling and molecular dynamics simulations
Developments in structural biology mean that the number of different ion channel structures has increased significantly in recent years. Structures of ion channels enable us to rationalize how mutations may lead to channelopathies. However, determining the structures of ion channels is still not trivial, especially as they necessarily exist in many distinct functional states. Therefore, the use...
متن کاملIce formation on kaolinite: Insights from molecular dynamics simulations.
The formation of ice affects many aspects of our everyday life as well as important technologies such as cryotherapy and cryopreservation. Foreign substances almost always aid water freezing through heterogeneous ice nucleation, but the molecular details of this process remain largely unknown. In fact, insight into the microscopic mechanism of ice formation on different substrates is difficult ...
