Effects of electrostatic interactions on ligand dissociation kinetics.
We study unbinding of multivalent cationic ligands from oppositely charged polymeric binding sites sparsely grafted on a flat neutral substrate. Our molecular dynamics simulations are suggested by single-molecule studies of protein-DNA interactions. We consider univalent salt concentrations spanning roughly a 1000-fold range, together with various concentrations of excess ligands in solution. T...
متن کاملFree energy calculations of gramicidin dimer dissociation.
Molecular dynamics simulations, combined with umbrella sampling, is used to study how gramicidin A (gA) dimers dissociate in the lipid bilayer. The potential of mean force and intermolecular potential energy are computed as functions of the distance between center of masses of the two gA monomers in two directions of separation: parallel to the bilayer surface and parallel to the membrane norma...
متن کاملEfficient stochastic simulation of chemical kinetics networks using a weighted ensemble of trajectories.
We apply the "weighted ensemble" (WE) simulation strategy, previously employed in the context of molecular dynamics simulations, to a series of systems-biology models that range in complexity from a one-dimensional system to a system with 354 species and 3680 reactions. WE is relatively easy to implement, does not require extensive hand-tuning of parameters, does not depend on the details of th...
متن کاملMultiscale Estimation of Binding Kinetics Using Brownian Dynamics, Molecular Dynamics and Milestoning
The kinetic rate constants of binding were estimated for four biochemically relevant molecular systems by a method that uses milestoning theory to combine Brownian dynamics simulations with more detailed molecular dynamics simulations. The rate constants found using this method agreed well with experimentally and theoretically obtained values. We predicted the association rate of a small charge...
متن کاملUsing binding free energy to guide ligand design
The goal of structure-based drug design is to create a ligand which binds with high affinity to a protein target. An exciting prospect is the ability to carry out this design process computationally and thereby obtain a series of drug leads which are potent and which can be subsequently optimized for druglike properties. In an earlier paper, we presented the wormhole method [1] which, subject t...
