چکیده
A Monte Carlo algorithm that searches for the optimal docking configuration of hen egg white lysozyme to an antibody is developed. Both the lysozyme and the antibody are kept rigid. Unlike the work of other authors, our algorithm does not attempt to explicitly maximize surface contact, but minimizes the energy computed using coarse-grained pair potentials. The final refinement of our best solutions using all-atom OPLS potentials (Jorgensen and Tirado-Rives') consistently yields the native conformation as the preferred solution for three different antibodies. We find that the use of an exponential distance-dependent dielectric function is an improvement over the more commonly used linear form.

ICOSA: A Distance-Dependent, Orientation-Specific Coarse-Grained Contact Potential for Protein Structure Modeling.
The relative distance and orientation in contacting residue pairs plays a significant role in protein folding and stabilization. We hereby devise a new knowledge-based, coarse-grained contact potential, so-called ICOSA, by correlating inter-residue contact distance and orientation in evaluating pair-wise inter-residue interactions. The rationale of our approach is to establish icosahedral local...
متن کاملParameterization of Coarse-Grained Molecular Interactions through Potential of Mean Force Calculations and Cluster Expansion Techniques
We present a systematic coarse-graining (CG) strategy for many particle molecular systems based on cluster expansion techniques. We construct a hierarchy of coarse-grained Hamiltonians with interaction potentials consisting of two, three and higher body interactions. In this way, the suggested model becomes computationally tractable, since no information from long n-body (bulk) simulations is r...

We calculate the two-, three-, four-, and five-body (state-independent) effective potentials between the centers of mass (c.m.'s) of self-avoiding walk polymers by Monte Carlo simulations. For full overlap, these coarse-grained n-body interactions oscillate in sign as (-1)(n), and decrease in absolute magnitude with increasing n. We find semiquantitative agreement with a scaling theory, and use...
متن کاملMultiscale coarse-grained simulations of ionic liquids: comparison of three approaches to derive effective potentials.
A coarse-grained model, with three sets of effective pair potentials for 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Bmim][PF6]) ionic liquid, is introduced and used to study the structural and dynamical properties over extended length and time scales. Three sets of effective pair potentials between coarse-grained beads are obtained using the Newton Inversion and the Iterative Boltzmann I...
متن کاملRepresentability problems for coarse-grained water potentials.
The use of an effective intermolecular potential often involves a compromise between more accurate, complex functional forms and more tractable simple representations. To study this choice in detail, we systematically derive coarse-grained isotropic pair potentials that accurately reproduce the oxygen-oxygen radial distribution function of the TIP4P-Ew water model at state points over density r...
