Collective Langevin dynamics of conformational motions in proteins.
Functionally relevant slow conformational motions of proteins are, at present, in most cases inaccessible to molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The main reason is that the major part of the computational effort is spend for the accurate description of a huge number of high frequency motions of the protein and the surrounding solvent. The accumulated influence of these fluctuations is crucial ...
متن کاملCollective Langevin Dynamics of Flexible Cytoskeletal Fibers
We develop a numerical method to simulate mechanical objects in a viscous medium at a scale where inertia is negligible. Fibers, spheres and other voluminous objects are represented with points. Different types of connections are used to link the points together and in this way create composite mechanical structures. The motion of such structures in a Brownian environment is described by a firs...
متن کاملConformational Entropy as Collective Variable for Proteins.
Many enhanced sampling methods rely on the identification of appropriate collective variables. For proteins, even small ones, finding appropriate descriptors has proven challenging. Here we suggest that the NMR S2 order parameter can be used to this effect. We trace the validity of this statement to the suggested relation between S2 and conformational entropy. Using the S2 order parameter and a...
متن کاملMultiple-basin energy landscapes for large-amplitude conformational motions of proteins: Structure-based molecular dynamics simulations.
Biomolecules often undergo large-amplitude motions when they bind or release other molecules. Unlike macroscopic machines, these biomolecular machines can partially disassemble (unfold) and then reassemble (fold) during such transitions. Here we put forward a minimal structure-based model, the "multiple-basin model," that can directly be used for molecular dynamics simulation of even very large...
متن کاملCalibrated Langevin-dynamics simulations of intrinsically disordered proteins.
We perform extensive coarse-grained (CG) Langevin dynamics simulations of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), which possess fluctuating conformational statistics between that for excluded volume random walks and collapsed globules. Our CG model includes repulsive steric, attractive hydrophobic, and electrostatic interactions between residues and is calibrated to a large collection of sing...
