A point-charge force field for molecular mechanics simulations of proteins based on condensed-phase quantum mechanical calculations.

TL;DR: A third‐generation point‐charge all‐atom force field for proteins is developed and initial tests on peptides demonstrated a high‐degree of similarity between the calculated and the statistically measured Ramanchandran maps for both Ace‐Gly‐nme and Ace‐Ala‐Nme di‐peptides.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ab initio Folding Simulation of the Trp-cage Mini-protein Approaches NMR Resolution

TL;DR: Analysis of the trajectory suggests that the rate-limiting step of folding of this mini-protein is the packing of the Trp side-chain, and the simulation has not only reached the correct main-chain conformation, but also a very high degree of accuracy in side- Chain packing conformation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Breaking non-native hydrophobic clusters is the rate-limiting step in the folding of an alanine-based peptide.

TL;DR: The formation mechanism of an alanine-based peptide has been studied by all- atom molecular dynamics simulations with a recently developed all-atom point-charge force field and the Generalize Born continuum solvent model and an extrapolated folding time of 16-20 ns is obtained in qualitative agreement with experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterizing the rate-limiting step of Trp-cage folding by all-atom molecular dynamics simulations

TL;DR: Detailed analysis suggests that packing of the structurally important Trp25 side chain is involved in the rate-limiting step and unfolding of the misfolded states and overcoming the additional entropic barrier also contribut...

G-Quadruplex Structure Can Be Stable with Only Some Coordination Sites Being Occupied by Cations: A Six-Nanosecond Molecular Dynamics Study

TL;DR: A 6 ns molecular dynamics simulation on a 7-mer G-quadruplex, surrounded by Na+ counterions and explicit water molecules, but without any ions in the initial structure, leads to a quadruplex structure with more favorable free energy of hydration, which is comparable to that of a fully coordinated quadruplex.
