Multidimensional adaptive umbrella sampling: Applications to main chain and side chain peptide conformations
A new adaptive umbrella sampling technique for molecular dynamics simulations is described. The high efficiency of the technique renders multidimensional adaptive umbrella sampling possible and thereby enables uniform sampling of the conformational space spanned by several degrees of freedom. The efficiency is achieved by using the weighted histogram analysis method to combine the results from ...
متن کاملA new configurational bias scheme for sampling supramolecular structures.
We present a new simulation scheme which allows an efficient sampling of reconfigurable supramolecular structures made of polymeric constructs functionalized by reactive binding sites. The algorithm is based on the configurational bias scheme of Siepmann and Frenkel and is powered by the possibility of changing the topology of the supramolecular network by a non-local Monte Carlo algorithm. Suc...
متن کاملThe interrelationships of side-chain and main-chain conformations in proteins.
The accurate determination of a large number of protein structures by X-ray crystallography makes it possible to conduct a reliable statistical analysis of the distribution of the main-chain and side-chain conformational angles, how these are dependent on residue type, adjacent residue in the sequence, secondary structure, residue-residue interactions and location at the polypeptide chain termi...
متن کاملGEM: a Gaussian Evolutionary Method for predicting protein side-chain conformations.
We have developed an evolutionary approach to predicting protein side-chain conformations. This approach, referred to as the Gaussian Evolutionary Method (GEM), combines both discrete and continuous global search mechanisms. The former helps speed up convergence by reducing the size of rotamer space, whereas the latter, integrating decreasing-based Gaussian mutations and self-adaptive Gaussian ...
متن کاملImportance of solvent accessibility and contact surfaces in modeling side-chain conformations in proteins
Contact surface area and chemical properties of atoms are used to concurrently predict conformations of multiple amino acid side chains on a fixed protein backbone. The combination of surface complementarity and solvent-accessible surface accounts for van der Waals forces and solvation free energy. The scoring function is particularly suitable for modeling partially buried side chains. Both ite...
