Probing energetics of Abeta fibril elongation by molecular dynamics simulations.
Using replica exchange molecular dynamics simulations and an all-atom implicit solvent model, we probed the energetics of Abeta(10-40) fibril growth. The analysis of the interactions between incoming Abeta peptides and the fibril led us to two conclusions. First, considerable variations in fibril binding propensities are observed along the Abeta sequence. The peptides in the fibril and those bi...
متن کاملProbing Transport Mechanisms in Nanofluids by Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Enhanced thermal conduction in nanofluids is an observed phenomenon for which the underlying mechanistic processes are still being debated. We perform molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the time-dependent heat current correlation to obtain the systematic, dynamical details at the atomistic level. Using a model system of Xe base fluid and Pt nanoparticles, we obtain the enhancement effects w...
متن کاملModeling of annexin A2—Membrane interactions by molecular dynamics simulations
The annexins are a family of Ca2+-regulated phospholipid binding proteins that are involved in membrane domain organization and membrane trafficking. Although they are widely studied and crystal structures are available for several soluble annexins their mode of membrane association has never been studied at the molecular level. Here we obtained molecular information on the annexin-membrane int...
متن کاملDruggability Assessment of Allosteric Proteins by Dynamics Simulations in the Presence of Probe Molecules
Druggability assessment of a target protein has emerged in recent years as an important concept in hit-to-lead optimization. A reliable and physically relevant measure of druggability would allow informed decisions on the risk of investing in a particular target. Here, we define "druggability" as a quantitative estimate of binding sites and affinities for a potential drug acting on a specific p...
متن کاملProbing diameter-selective solubilisation of carbon nanotubes by reversible cyclic peptides using molecular dynamics simulations.
Molecular dynamics simulations are used to explore the encapsulation behaviour of reversible cyclic peptides when adsorbed onto single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in aqueous solution. Our findings suggest that CNT encapsulation via cyclisation of a single peptide chain is relatively less likely, compared with encapsulation via two-chain complexes. These two-chain complexes comprise pairings ...
