Investigation of Melting by Molecular Dynamics Simulation
The melting of a 64 ion microcrystal of KCI was studied by means of a molecular dynamics computer simulation. We used a central pair interaction with an inverse power law repulsion. The thermodynamics, kinetic and structural properties such as melting temperature, latent heat, mean square displacement, diffusion constant, radial distribution function and bond angle distribution are calculated. ...
متن کاملSpectroscopic, Docking and Molecular Dynamics Simulation Studies on the Interaction of Etofylline and Human Serum Albumin
The purpose of this study is to investigate the interaction of Etofylline as an established drug for asthma remedy, with the major transport protein in human blood circulation, the human serum albumin (HSA). In this respect, the fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy techniques, along with the molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation methods were employed. Analysis of ...
متن کاملHigh-temperature molecular dynamics simulation of lipid membrane bilayers
9 10 In this work we investigated the molecular dynamics of palmitoyl-oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine 11 and palmitoyl-oleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine membrane bilayers enforced by single-wall 12 carbon nanotube using classical molecular dynamics simulation. We have considered that an 13 insertion of a single-wall carbon nanotube in the center of lipid membrane “strengthens” ambient 14 lipids and pr...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulation of polymer insertion into lipid bilayers
Relatively short peptides, such as toxins and antimicrobial-peptides, are known to insert themselves into cell membranes. On the basis of simple bead-spring models for the membrane lipids, the peptide, and water, detailed processes of the peptide insertion is investigated by molecular dynamics simulation; our special concern is in the highly cooperative motions of membrane lipids and the peptid...
متن کاملComparative molecular dynamics simulation studies of protegrin-1 monomer and dimer in two different lipid bilayers.
Antimicrobial peptides interact specifically with the membrane of a pathogen and kill the pathogen by releasing its cellular contents. Protegrin-1 (PG-1), a beta-hairpin antimicrobial peptide, is known to exist as a transmembrane monomer in a 1,2-dilauroylphosphatidylcholine (DLPC) bilayer and shows concentration-dependent oligomerization in a 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoylphosphatidylcholine (POPC) bila...
