Allosteric activation transitions in enzymes and biomolecular motors: insights from atomistic and coarse-grained simulations.
The chemical step in enzymes is usually preceded by a kinetically distinct activation step that involves large-scale conformational transitions. In "simple" enzymes this step corresponds to the closure of the active site; in more complex enzymes, such as biomolecular motors, the activation step is more complex and may involve interactions with other biomolecules. These activation transitions ar...
متن کاملThe MARTINI force field: coarse grained model for biomolecular simulations.
We present an improved and extended version of our coarse grained lipid model. The new version, coined the MARTINI force field, is parametrized in a systematic way, based on the reproduction of partitioning free energies between polar and apolar phases of a large number of chemical compounds. To reproduce the free energies of these chemical building blocks, the number of possible interaction le...
متن کاملSimplified Models for Coarse-Grained Hemodynamics Simulations
Human blood can be approximated as a dense suspension of red blood cells in plasma. Here, we present two models we recently developed to investigate blood flow on different scales: in the first part of the paper we concentrate on describing individual cells or model systems such as vesicles with high resolution in order to understand the underlying fundamental properties of bulk hemodynamics. H...
متن کاملA multiscale approach to triglycerides simulations: from atomistic to coarse-grained models and back.
The aim of this paper is to provide a simulation strategy to study the liquid-solid transition of triglycerides. The strategy is based on a multiscale approach. A coarse-grained model, parameterized on the basis of reference atomistic simulations, has been used to model the liquid-solid transition. A reverse mapping procedure has been proposed to reconstruct atomistic models from coarse-grained...
متن کاملCoarse-grained models of tethers for fast self-assembly simulations.
Long molecular ligands or "tethers" play an important role in the self-assembly of many nanoscale systems. These tethers, whose only interaction may be a hard-core repulsion, contribute significantly to the free energy of the system because of their large conformational entropy. Here, we investigate how simple approximate models can be developed and used to quickly determine the configurations ...
