Simulating the mechanism of antimicrobial lipopeptides with all-atom molecular dynamics.
The emergence of antibiotic resistant pathogens is one of the major medical concerns of the 21st century, prompting renewed interest in the development of novel antimicrobial compounds. Here we use microsecond-scale all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to characterize the structure, dynamics, and membrane-binding mechanism of a synthetic antimicrobial lipopeptide, C16-KGGK. Our simulations s...
متن کاملInsights into the Tunnel Mechanism of Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein through All-atom Molecular Dynamics Simulations*
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mediates cholesteryl ester (CE) transfer from the atheroprotective high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol to the atherogenic low density lipoprotein cholesterol. In the past decade, this property has driven the development of CETP inhibitors, which have been evaluated in large scale clinical trials for treating cardiovascular diseases. Despite the p...
متن کاملMechanism of PhosphoThreonine/Serine Recognition and Specificity for Modular Domains from All-atom Molecular Dynamics
BACKGROUND Phosphopeptide-binding domains mediate many vital cellular processes such as signal transduction and protein recognition. We studied three well-known domains important for signal transduction: BRCT repeats, WW domain and forkhead-associated (FHA) domain. The first two recognize both phosphothreonine (pThr) and phosphoserine (pSer) residues, but FHA has high specificity for pThr resid...
متن کاملAll-Atom Molecular Dynamics of Virus Capsids as Drug Targets
Virus capsids are protein shells that package the viral genome. Although their morphology and biological functions can vary markedly, capsids often play critical roles in regulating viral infection pathways. A detailed knowledge of virus capsids, including their dynamic structure, interactions with cellular factors, and the specific roles that they play in the replication cycle, is imperative f...
متن کاملCoupling all-atom molecular dynamics simulations of ions in water with Brownian dynamics.
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of ions (K+, Na+, Ca2+ and Cl-) in aqueous solutions are investigated. Water is described using the SPC/E model. A stochastic coarse-grained description for ion behaviour is presented and parametrized using MD simulations. It is given as a system of coupled stochastic and ordinary differential equations, describing the ion position, velocity and acceleration....
