Membrane Binding and Insertion of a pHLIP Peptide Studied by All-Atom Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Recent experiments in function mechanism study reported that a pH low-insertion peptide (pHLIP) can insert into a zwitterionic palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine (POPC) lipid bilayer at acidic pH while binding to the bilayer surface at basic pH. However, the atomic details of the pH-dependent interaction of pHLIP with a POPC bilayer are not well understood. In this study, we investigate the det...
متن کاملHigh-Throughput All-Atom Molecular Dynamics Simulations Using Distributed Computing
Although molecular dynamics simulation methods are useful in the modeling of macromolecular systems, they remain computationally expensive, with production work requiring costly high-performance computing (HPC) resources. We review recent innovations in accelerating molecular dynamics on graphics processing units (GPUs), and we describe GPUGRID, a volunteer computing project that uses the GPU r...
متن کاملComparing a simple theoretical model for protein folding with all-atom molecular dynamics simulations.
Advances in computing have enabled microsecond all-atom molecular dynamics trajectories of protein folding that can be used to compare with and test critical assumptions of theoretical models. We show that recent simulations by the Shaw group (10, 11, 14, 15) are consistent with a key assumption of an Ising-like theoretical model that native structure grows in only a few regions of the amino ac...
متن کاملAll-atom Molecular Dynamics Simulations of the Projection Domain of the Intrinsically Disordered htau40 Protein
We have performed all atom molecular dynamics simulations on the projection domain of the intrinsically disordered htau40 protein. After generating a suitable ensemble of starting conformations at high temperatures, at room temperature in an adaptive box algorithm we have generated histograms for the radius of gyration, secondary structure time series, generated model small angle xray scatterin...
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...
