Molecular Dynamics Simulation of the Melting Process in Au15Ag40 Nanoalloys
In this study the operations of melting of Au15Ag40 nanoalloy have been studied using the molecular dynamic simulations through the Gupta multiparticle potential and the nonergodicity of simulations is eliminated by the multiple histogram method. The melting characteristics are determined by the analysis of variations in the potential energy. The calculations indicate that the melting of Au15Ag...
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 کاملProtein dynamics and motions in relation to their functions: several case studies and the underlying mechanisms
Proteins are dynamic entities in cellular solution with functions governed essentially by their dynamic personalities. We review several dynamics studies on serine protease proteinase K and HIV-1 gp120 envelope glycoprotein to demonstrate the importance of investigating the dynamic behaviors and molecular motions for a complete understanding of their structure-function relationships. Using comp...
متن کاملIntroducing critical residues in the human prion protein and its Asp 178 Asn mutant by molecular dynamics simulation
The molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method is used to assess structural details for humanprion protein (hereafter PrPN) and its Asp178 Asn mutant (hereafter PrPm) which causes fatalfamilial insomnia disease. The results reveal that the flexibility and instability increase in PrPmcould be related to specific amino acids exposed to the solvent. Solvation free energy of PrPm is 20kjmot1nni2 mor...
متن کاملEffects of T208E activating mutation on MARK2 protein structure and dynamics: Modeling and simulation
Microtubule Affinity-Regulating Kinase 2 (MARK2) protein has a substantial role in regulation of vital cellular processes like induction of polarity, regulation of cell junctions, cytoskeleton structure and cell differentiation. The abnormal function of this protein has been associated with a number of pathological conditions like Alzheimer disease, autism, several carcinomas and development of...
