Coarse-grained lattice model for molecular recognition.

چکیده
We present a simple model which allows us to investigate the equilibrium aspects of molecular recognition between rigid biomolecules on a generic level. Using a two-stage approach, which consists of a design and a testing step, the role of cooperativity and of varying bond strength in molecular recognition is investigated. Cooperativity is found to enhance selectivity. In complexes which require a high binding flexibility, a small number of strong bonds seems to be favored compared to a situation with many but weak bonds.

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Freezing Behavior of Pure Water and 14% Water-NaCl Mixture Using the Coarse-Grained Model
We performed molecular dynamics simulations using the coarse-grained model to study the freezing behavior of pure water and 14% water-salt mixture in a wide range of temperatures for a very long time around 50 nanoseconds. For the salty water, an interface in nanoscale was used. For both systems, the f...

For many complex dynamical systems, a separation of scales prevails between the (microscopic) level of description of the available model, and the (macroscopic) level at which one would like to observe and analyze the system. For this type of problems, an “equation-free” framework has recently been proposed. Using appropriately initialized microscopic simulations, one can build a coarse-grained...
متن کاملCoarse-grained lattice Monte Carlo simulations with continuous interaction potentials.
A coarse-grained lattice Metropolis Monte Carlo (CG-MMC) method is presented for simulating fluid systems described by standard molecular force fields. First, a thermodynamically consistent coarse-grained interaction potential is obtained numerically and automatically from a continuous force field such as Lennard-Jones. The coarse-grained potential then is used to drive CG-MMC simulations of va...
متن کاملCoarse-Grained Numerical Bifurcation Analysis of Lattice Boltzmann Models
In this paper we study the coarse-grained bifurcation analysis approach proposed by I.G. Kevrekidis and collaborators in PNAS 97(18):9840–9843. We extend the results obtained in that paper for a one-dimensional FitzhHugh-Nagumo lattice Boltzmann model in several ways. First, we extend the coarse-grained time stepper concept to enable the computation of periodic solutions and we use the more ver...
