A survey of coarse-grained methods for modeling protein conformational transitions.
The decryption of transient structural changes during protein conformational transitions is essential to a detailed understanding of protein functions. To this end, coarse-grained protein structural models have proven valuable by enabling cost-effective simulation/analysis of protein conformational transitions which are too slow for all-atom molecular dynamics simulation. Here we survey state-o...
متن کاملHybrid Approaches to Structural Characterization of Conformational Ensembles of Complex Macromolecular Systems Combining NMR Residual Dipolar Couplings and Solution X-ray Scattering.
Solving structures or structural ensembles of large macromolecular systems in solution poses a challenging problem. While NMR provides structural information at atomic resolution, increased spectral complexity, chemical shift overlap, and short transverse relaxation times (associated with slow tumbling) render application of the usual techniques that have been so successful for medium sized sys...

The dynamic simulation of macromolecular systems with biologically relevant sizes and time scales is critical for understanding macromolecular function. In this context, normal mode analysis (NMA) approximates the complex dynamicalbehaviourofa macromoleculeas a simple setof harmonic oscillators vibrating around a given equilibrium conformation. This technique, originated from classical mechanic...
متن کامل1 PhD thesis proposal : Development of new approaches for studying conformational dynamics of biological macromolecular complexes by X - ray free electron lasers
Biological macromolecular complexes are of great interest for molecular biology and structure-based drug design as they are involved in core biological functions such as protein synthesis or cellular transport. They undergo large conformational transitions to achieve these functions. Therefore, characterization of structure and conformational flexibility of these macromolecular complexes is cru...
متن کاملEffect of mesoscale ordering on the density of States of polymeric semiconductors.
A multiscale simulation scheme, which incorporates both long-range conformational disorder and local molecular ordering, is proposed for predicting large-scale morphologies and charge transport properties of polymeric semiconductors. Using poly(3-hexylthiophene) as an example, it is illustrated how the energy landscape and its spatial correlations evolve with increasing degree of structural ord...
