Free Energy Calculation from Steered Molecular Dynamics Simulations Using Jarzynski’s Equality
نویسندگان
چکیده
Jarzynski’s equality is applied to free energy calculations from steered molecular dynamics simulations of biomolecules. The helix-coil transition of deca-alanine in vacuum is used as an example. With about ten trajectories sampled, the second order cumulant expansion, among the various averaging schemes examined, yields the most accurate estimates. We compare umbrella sampling and the present method, and find that their efficiencies are comparable.

On the Improvement of Free-Energy Calculation from Steered Molecular Dynamics Simulations Using Adaptive Stochastic Perturbation Protocols
The potential of mean force (PMF) calculation in single molecule manipulation experiments performed via the steered molecular dynamics (SMD) technique is a computationally very demanding task because the analyzed system has to be perturbed very slowly to be kept close to equilibrium. Faster perturbations, far from equilibrium, increase dissipation and move the average work away from the underly...
متن کاملThe effect of temperature on the binding affinity of Remdesivir and RdRp enzyme of SARS-COV-2 virus using steered molecular dynamics simulation
The fatal SARS-COV-2 virus appeared in China at the end of 2019 for the first time. This virus has similar sequence with SARS-COV in 2002, but its infection is very high rate. On the other hand, SARS-COV-2 is a RNA virus and requires RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) to transcribe its viral genome. Due to the availability of the active site of this enzyme, an effective treatment is targeting ...

متن کاملFree-energy landscape of glycerol permeation through aquaglyceroporin GlpF determined from steered molecular dynamics simulations.
The free-energy landscape of glycerol permeation through the aquaglyceroporin GlpF has been estimated in the literature by the nonequilibrium method of steered molecular dynamics (SMD) simulations and by the equilibrium method of adaptive biasing force (ABF) simulations. However, the ABF results qualitatively disagree with the SMD results that were based on the Jarzynski equality (JE) relating ...
