Pressure induced structural changes and dimer destabilization of HIV-1 protease studied by molecular dynamics simulations.
High-pressure methods have become attractive tools for investigation of the structural stability of proteins. Besides protein unfolding, dimerization can be studied this way, too. HIV-1 protease is a convenient target of experimental and theoretical high-pressure studies. In this study molecular-dynamics simulations are used to predict the response of HIV-1 protease to the pressure of 0.1 to 60...
متن کاملAtomistic simulations of pressure-induced structural transformations in solids
Constant-pressure MD simulations complement constant-volume MD simulations and naturally allow the study of systems where external pressure is a driving force for a structural transformation. These transformations take place in crystalline as well as amorphous systems. Besides studies of bulk systems there is also growing interest in simulations of finite systems, such as clusters and nanocryst...
متن کاملPressure-induced structural changes in liquid SiO2 from Ab initio simulations.
First-principles molecular dynamics simulations at constant pressure have been used to investigate the mechanisms of compression of liquid SiO2. Liquid SiO2 is found to become denser than quartz at a pressure of about 6 GPa, in agreement with extrapolations of lower pressure experimental data. The high compressibility of the liquid is traced to medium-range changes in the topology of the atomic...
متن کاملStructural changes and pressure-induced chemical decomposition of boric acid
X-ray powder diffraction studies along with complementary Raman and infrared spectroscopy measurements disclosed the pressure-induced chemical decomposition of boric acid, H3BO3. The layered triclinic structure of H3BO3 suffers a highly anisotropic compression associated to a strong reduction of the interlayer spacing. The starting structure becomes unstable at about 2 GPa and decomposes on a c...
متن کاملKinetics of strain-induced structural changes under high pressure.
A mechanism-based microscale kinetic theory for strain-induced structural changes (SCs) (that includes phase transformations (PTs) and chemical reactions (CRs)) is developed. Time is not an independent parameter in this theory; instead, plastic strain is a time-like parameter. Kinetics depends essentially on the ratio of the yield strengths of phases. Stationary and nonstationary solutions of t...
