Journal ArticleDOI

Avoiding singularities and numerical instabilities in free energy calculations based on molecular simulations

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple, general and numerically stable approach for avoiding the singularities which generally occur when atoms or interaction sites are created or annihilated in free energy calculations based on computer simulations is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

A structure refinement method based on molecular dynamics in four spatial dimensions

TL;DR: It is shown that LAC can be refined without manual interference and using only 5000 steps (10 ps) of 4D-MD, indicating that this method may be a very useful tool when modelling loops in proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

The High-resolution Structure of the Histidine-containing Phosphocarrier Protein HPr from Escherichia coli Determined by Restrained Molecular Dynamics from Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Nuclear Overhauser Effect Data

TL;DR: The solution structure of the histidine-containing phosphocarrier protein HPr from Escherichia coli has been determined by NMR in combination with distance geometry and restrained molecular dynamics, suggesting that the strain may be an artifact of crystallization conditions instead of an essential element in the phosphorylation/dephosphorylation process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conformational search by potential energy annealing: algorithm and application to cyclosporin A.

TL;DR: A new method (PEACS) is introduced which has a far better performance than conventional search methods for low-energy conformations and samples a much larger part of the available conformational space than MD does.
Journal ArticleDOI

The nature of antibody heavy chain residue H6 strongly influences the stability of a VH domain lacking the disulfide bridge.

TL;DR: The conformation and hydrogen bond pattern of Gln H6 and Glu H6 in antibodies carrying these residues are analyzed and mechanisms by which this residue could contribute to VH domain stability are suggested.
