Journal ArticleDOI
Spontaneous Fluctuations in the Concentrations of Oral Sulfur-containing Gases
John Springfield,Fabrizis L. Suarez,G. Majerus,Patricia A Lenton,Julie K. Furne,Michael Levitt +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that minute-to-minute variability in oral sulfur gas concentrations is a true biological phenomenon and complicates experimental studies designed to show that interventions alter halitosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of DEN refinement and automated model building to a difficult case of molecular-replacement phasing: the structure of a putative succinyl-diaminopimelate desuccinylase from Corynebacterium glutamicum
Axel T. Brunger,Axel T. Brunger,Debanu Das,Ashley M. Deacon,Joanna C Grant,Thomas C. Terwilliger,Randy J. Read,Paul D. Adams,Michael Levitt,Gunnar F. Schröder +9 more
TL;DR: This difficult case of molecular-replacement phasing shows that the synergism between DEN refinement and AutoBuild outperforms standard refinement protocols.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conformational Optimization with Natural Degrees of Freedom: A Novel Stochastic Chain Closure Algorithm
Peter Minary,Michael Levitt +1 more
TL;DR: The present article introduces a set of novel methods that facilitate the use of "natural moves" or arbitrary degrees of freedom that can give rise to collective rearrangements in the structure of biological macromolecules by restoring the correct chain geometry by adjusting bond and torsion angles in an arbitrary defined molten zone.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Area Derivative of a Space-Filling Diagram
TL;DR: Formulas are given for the weighted and unweighted area derivatives of a molecule modeled as a space-filling diagram made up of balls in motion that contribute to the force that drives the motion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Remarkable patterns of surface water ordering around polarized buckminsterfullerene
Gaurav Chopra,Michael Levitt +1 more
TL;DR: Polarization increases ordered water structure so that the imprint of the hydrophobic surface atoms on the surrounding waters is stronger and extends to long-range and the greater order seen with QMPFF3 will affect biological processes through a stronger hydrophilic effect.
