the first step in studying dust events is the estimation of dust emission from sources. in this study, the simulations of the vertical dust flux (vdf) over iran by the mba (marticorena, bergametti, and alfaro) and shao schemes are compared. the mba scheme is energy-based and derived on the basis of energy balance between the kinetic energy of saltating particles and binding energy of the surfac...

We apply novel atomistic simulations based on potential energy surface exploration to investigate the constant force-induced unfolding of ubiquitin. At the experimentally-studied force clamping level of 100 pN, we find a new unfolding mechanism starting with the detachment between β5 and β3 involving the binding site of ubiquitin, the Ile44 residue. This new unfolding pathway leads to the disco...

The Methotrexate delivery by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and the structural changes of drugcombination upon the carbon nanotubes and bio thermodynamic of the drug have been studied by molecularcomputational methods. Computational molecular methods have been fulfilled by molecular mechanics methods with four force field, and semi empirical with all methods. We investigate different param...

human immunodeficiency virus infection / acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (hiv/aids) is a disease pertained to the human immune system. given its crucial role in viral replication, hiv-1 protease (hiv-1 pr) is a prime therapeutic target in aids therapy. in this regard, the dynamic aspects of ligand-enzyme interactions may indicate an important role of conformational variability in hiv-1 pr in...

Background: Human serum albumin (HSA) is one of the most prominent protein in human blood. Trimethoprim (TMP) is an efficient antibiotic drug for treatment of pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP). Patients with HIV/AIDS and cancer are extremely affected by the disease due to immune system deficiency. Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the molecular dynamics simulation (MD) of HSA with TMP...
