Distance and exposure dependent effective dielectric function
In an effort to develop a dielectric screening function for molecular dynamics simulations of biomolecules in implicit solvent, effective dielectric constants (D(eff)) for a large number of atom pairs in a typical globular protein are calculated by continuum electrostatics. Plots of D(eff) versus the intercharge distance are in general sigmoidal with the characteristics of the curve depending o...
متن کاملProtein-solvent interactions.
The central importance of solvent interactions in stabilization of specific protein structure has long been recognized. Decades ago, Tanford and Kirkwood treated in detail the interaction of charges with solvent, and they showed how desolvation/burial of charges upon protein folding was an important factor in stability.1 The influence of their model, with further elaborations, can still be seen...
متن کاملInfluence of the solvent representation on vibrational entropy calculations: Generalized born versus distance-dependent dielectric model
The harmonic model is the most popular approximation for estimating the "configurational" entropy of a solute in molecular mechanics/Poisson-Boltzmann solvent accessible surface area (MM/PBSA)-type binding free energy calculations. Here, we investigate the influence of the solvent representation in the harmonic model by comparing estimates of changes in the vibrational entropies for 30 trypsin/...
متن کامل[Methods for analysis of protein-protein and protein-ligand interactions].
In order to maintain cellular homeostasis, cellular proteins coexist in complex and variable molecular assemblies. Therefore, understanding of major physiological processes at molecular level is based on analysis of protein-protein interaction networks. Firstly, composition of the molecular assembly has to be qualitatively analyzed. In the next step, quantitative bio-chemical properties of the ...
متن کاملKnowledge-based scoring function to predict protein-ligand interactions.
The development and validation of a new knowledge-based scoring function (DrugScore) to describe the binding geometry of ligands in proteins is presented. It discriminates efficiently between well-docked ligand binding modes (root-mean-square deviation <2.0 A with respect to a crystallographically determined reference complex) and those largely deviating from the native structure, e.g. generate...
