Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Using Urry's gramicidin A (GA) atomic coordinates and ab into calculations, the interaction energies of a K+ ion with GA are examined and the values of the fitting parameters are obtained for 6-12-1 atom-atom pair potentials.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present Monte Carlo simulations for the microscopic effect of an applied voltage (0.5 V/32 A) on a solvated gramicidin.
Abstract: Using the previously reported ab initio interaction energies among K+, Na+, water, and Gramicidin A (GA), this report presents Monte Carlo simulations for the microscopic effect of an applied voltage (0.5 V/32 A) on a solvated gramicidin. The reorientation of water molecules due to the applied voltage is found to be marginal for both cations. The energy contribution due to water dipoles was within 10% of the total energy contribution due to the applied voltage. Inside the channel the total energy contribution varied almost linearly along the channel axis; outside the channel the slope of the total energy contribution with respect to the channel axis decreased.
