Molecular dynamics simulations of large macromolecular complexes.
Connecting dynamics to structural data from diverse experimental sources, molecular dynamics simulations permit the exploration of biological phenomena in unparalleled detail. Advances in simulations are moving the atomic resolution descriptions of biological systems into the million-to-billion atom regime, in which numerous cell functions reside. In this opinion, we review the progress, driven...
متن کاملTowards Large-Scale Molecular Dynamics Simulations on Graphics Processors
Atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are a vital tool in chemical research, as they are able to provide a view of chemical systems and processes that is not obtainable through experiment. However, large-scale MD simulations require access to multicore clusters or supercomputers that are not always available to all researchers. Recently, many have begun to explore the power of graphics ...
متن کاملDesigning a new tetrapeptide to inhibit the BIR3 domain of the XIAP protein via molecular dynamics simulations
The XIAP protein is a member of apoptosis proteins family. The XIAP protein plays a central role in the inhibition of apoptosis and consists of three Baculoviral IAP Repeat domains. The BIR3 domain binds directly to the N-terminal of caspase-9 and therefore it inhibits apoptosis. N-terminal tetrapeptide region of SMAC protein can bind to BIR3, inhibit it and subsequently induce apoptosis. In th...
متن کاملTargeted Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Protein Unfolding
The usefulness of targeted molecular dynamics (TMD) for the simulation of large conformational transitions is assessed in this work on the unfolding process of chymotrypsin inhibitor 2 (CI2). In TMD the force field is supplemented with a harmonic restraint which promotes either the increase of the conformational distance from the native state or the decrease of the distance from a target unfold...
متن کاملCoarse-grained protein molecular dynamics simulations.
A limiting factor in biological science is the time-scale gap between experimental and computational trajectories. At this point, all-atom explicit solvent molecular dynamics (MD) are clearly too expensive to explore long-range protein motions and extract accurate thermodynamics of proteins in isolated or multimeric forms. To reach the appropriate time scale, we must then resort to coarse grain...
