Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Formation of Metal-containing Fullerene
The growth process of metal-containing fullerene was studied using the molecular dynamics method. As for metalcontaining fullerene, only the metal atoms such as La, Y or Sc are experimentally assigned to be contained inside the carbon cage. In this paper, the difference of growth process and structures of metal-attached carbon clusters were examined using lanthanum and nickel as the additional ...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations of the Trp repressor-DNA complex and the AV77 mutant
Molecular dynamics simulations were performed on E. coli wild type (WT) Trp repressor and the AV77 mutant in interaction with DNA. Alanine to valine mutation at position 77 results in a repressor with enhanced activity at low concentrations of the L-Trp co-repressor. However, WT and AV77 mutant show an identical crystallographic structure, preventing to devise a clear structure-function correla...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations of CO2 formation in interstellar ices.
CO2 ice is one of the most abundant components in ice-coated interstellar ices besides H2O and CO, but the most favorable path to CO2 ice is still unclear. Molecular dynamics calculations on the ultraviolet photodissociation of different kinds of CO-H2O ice systems have been performed at 10 K in order to demonstrate that the reaction between CO and an OH molecule resulting from H2O photodissoci...
متن کاملSpontaneous formation of polyglutamine nanotubes with molecular dynamics simulations.
Expansion of polyglutamine (polyQ) beyond the pathogenic threshold (35-40 Gln) is associated with several neurodegenerative diseases including Huntington's disease, several forms of spinocerebellar ataxias and spinobulbar muscular atrophy. To determine the structure of polyglutamine aggregates we perform replica-exchange molecular dynamics simulations coupled with the optimized potential for ef...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations of a single stranded (ss) DNA
The objective of the present study was to develop an understanding of short single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) to assist the development of new DNA-based biosensors. A ssDNA model containing twelve bases was constructed from the 130-145 codon sequence of the p53 gene. Various thermodynamic macroscopic observables such as temperature, energy distributions, as well as root mean square deviation (RMSD) o...
