چکیده

The system-level dynamics of multivalent biomolecular interactions can be simulated using a rule-based kinetic Monte Carlo method in which a rejection sampling strategy is used to generate reaction events. This method becomes inefficient when simulating aggregation processes with large biomolecular complexes. Here, we present a rejectionfree method for determining the kinetics of multivalent biomolecular interactions, and we apply the method to simulate simple models for ligand-receptor interactions. Simulation results show that performance of the rejection-free method is equal to or better than that of the rejection method over wide parameter ranges, and the rejection-free method is more efficient for simulating systems in which aggregation is extensive. The rejection-free method reported here should be useful for simulating a variety of systems in which multisite molecular interactions yield large molecular aggregates.

An energy localization principle and its application to fast kinetic Monte Carlo simulation of heteroepitaxial growth

Simulation of heteroepitaxial growth using kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) is often based on rates determined by differences in elastic energy between two configurations. This is computationally challenging due to the long range nature of elastic interactions. A new method is introduced in which the elastic field is updated using a local approximation technique. This involves an iterative method that...

Energy study at different solvents for potassium Channel Protein by Monte Carlo, Molecular and Langevin Dynamics Simulations

Potassium Channels allow potassium flux and are essential for the generation of electric current acrossexcitable membranes. Potassium Channels are also the targets of various intracellular controlmechanisms; such that the suboptimal regulation of channel function might be related to pathologicalconditions. Realistic studies of ion current in biologic channels present a major challenge for compu...
