Efficient Monte Carlo Methods for Cyclic Peptides
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new, biased Monte Carlo scheme for simulating complex, cyclic peptides. Backbone atoms are equilibrated with a biased rebridging scheme, and side-chain atoms are equilibrated with a look-ahead configurational bias Monte Carlo. Parallel tempering is shown to be an important ingredient in the construction of an efficient approach. Submitted to Molecular Physics.

A Configurational Bias Monte Carlo Method for Linear and Cyclic Peptides
In this manuscript, we describe a new configurational bias Monte Carlo technique for the simulation of peptides. We focus on the biologically relevant cases of linear and cyclic peptides. Our approach leads to an efficient, Boltzmann-weighted sampling of the torsional degrees of freedom in these biological molecules, a feat not possible with previous Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics methods.
متن کاملAnalytical Rebridging Monte Carlo: Application to cis/trans Isomerization in Proline-Containing, Cyclic Peptides
We present a new method, the analytical rebridging scheme, for Monte Carlo simulation of proline-containing, cyclic peptides. The cis/trans isomerization is accommodated by allowing for two states of the amide bond. We apply our method to five peptides that have previously been characterized by NMR methods. Our simulations achieve effective equilibration and agree well with experimental data in...
متن کاملA con ® gurational bias Monte Carlo method for linear and cyclic peptides
This paper presents a new Monte Carlo method that employs biased trial moves to achieve an e cient sampling of the torsional degrees of freedom for linear and cyclic peptides. Peptides are small molecules, built from amino acids, that are of fundamental importance in biological systems [1]. They play key roles in signal transduction between cells, regulation of cell growth and diŒerentiation, ...
متن کاملApplication of Monte Carlo Simulation in the Assessment of European Call Options
In this paper, the pricing of a European call option on the underlying asset is performed by using a Monte Carlo method, one of the powerful simulation methods, where the price development of the asset is simulated and value of the claim is computed in terms of an expected value. The proposed approach, applied in Monte Carlo simulation, is based on the Black-Scholes equation which generally def...
متن کاملUtilizing Monte Carlo Method for Ranking Extreme Efficient Units in Data Envelopment Analysis
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a mathematical programming method for calculatingefficiency of decision making units (DMU). In calculating the efficiency score of unitsthrough DEA we may come up with some efficient units. But the question is among theseefficient units which of them is better. As we know, it is possible to rank inefficient unitsthrough efficiency score; however, for ranking e...
