Molecular dynamics simulations of the photoactive protein nitrile hydratase.
Nitrile hydratase (NHase) is an enzyme used in the industrial biotechnological production of acrylamide. The active site, which contains nonheme iron or noncorrin cobalt, is buried in the protein core at the interface of two domains, alpha and beta. Hydrogen bonds between betaArg-56 and alphaCys-114 sulfenic acid (alphaCEA114) are important to maintain the enzymatic activity. The enzyme may be ...
متن کاملFitting and using model Hamiltonian in non-adiabatic molecular dynamics simulations
In order to study computationally increasingly complex systems using theoretical methods model Hamiltonians are required to accurately describe the potential energy surface they represent. Also ab-initio methods improve the calculation of the excited states of these complex systems becomes increasingly feasible. One such model Hamiltonian described herein, the Vibronic Coupling Hamiltonian, has...
متن کاملStructural Refinement of Proteins by Restrained Molecular Dynamics Simulations with Non-interacting Molecular Fragments
The knowledge of multiple conformational states is a prerequisite to understand the function of membrane transport proteins. Unfortunately, the determination of detailed atomic structures for all these functionally important conformational states with conventional high-resolution approaches is often difficult and unsuccessful. In some cases, biophysical and biochemical approaches can provide im...
متن کاملTime-resolved photoelectron imaging spectra from non-adiabatic molecular dynamics simulations.
We present an efficient method for the simulation of time-resolved photoelectron imaging (TRPEI) spectra in polyatomic molecules. Our approach combines trajectory-based molecular dynamics that account for non-adiabatic effects using surface hopping, with an approximate treatment of the photoionization process using Dyson orbitals as initial and Coulomb waves as final electron states. The method...
متن کاملCatching Spammers in the Act
In one paper scheduled to be presented this week at the Conference on E-mail and Anti-Spam, in Mountain View, CA, researchers from Indiana University studied how spammers obtain the e-mail addresses in the first place. The researchers used a variety of techniques to match the programs that cull e-mail addresses from Web pages to the resulting spam. "We are basically trying to figure out how spa...
