Correction to Classical Electrostatics for Biomolecular Simulations

Computational methods for biomolecular electrostatics.

An understanding of intermolecular interactions is essential for insight into how cells develop, operate, communicate, and control their activities. Such interactions include several components: contributions from linear, angular, and torsional forces in covalent bonds, van der waals forces, as well as electrostatics. Among the various components of molecular interactions, electrostatics are of...

Quality Assurance for Biomolecular Simulations.

Contemporary structural biology has an increased emphasis on high-throughput methods. Biomolecular simulations can add value to structural biology via the provision of dynamic information. However, at present there are no agreed measures for the quality of biomolecular simulation data. In this Letter, we suggest suitable measures for the quality assurance of molecular dynamics simulations of bi...

An Introduction to Biomolecular Simulations and Docking

The biomolecules in and around a living cell – proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, carbohydrates – continuously sample myriad conformational states that are thermally accessible at physiological temperatures. Simultaneously, a given biomolecule also samples (and is sampled by) a rapidly fluctuating local environment comprised of other biopolymers, small molecules, water, ions, etc. that diffuse to...

NMscatt: a program for calculating inelastic scattering from large biomolecular systems using classical force-field simulations

Computational tools for normal mode analysis, which are widely used in physics and materials science problems, are designed here in a single package called NMscatt (Normal Modes & scattering) that allows arbitrarily large systems to be handled. The package allows inelastic neutron and X-ray scattering observables to be calculated, allowing comparison with experimental data produced at large sca...
