It is shown that the model describes well the restricted rotational motion of N-H vectors in the amide groups of lysozyme obtained from molecular dynamics simulation and that reliable predictions of experimental relaxation rates can be obtained on that basis.
Abstract
We propose a fractional Brownian dynamics model for time correlation functions characterizing the internal dynamics of proteins probed by NMR relaxation spectroscopy. The time correlation functions are represented by a broad distribution of exponential functions which are characterized by two parameters. We show that the model describes well the restricted rotational motion of N-H vectors in the amide groups of lysozyme obtained from molecular dynamics simulation and that reliable predictions of experimental relaxation rates can be obtained on that basis.

Generalized Kubo relations and conditions for anomalous diffusion: Physical insights from a mathematical theorem

TL;DR: The paper describes an approach to anomalous diffusion within the framework of the generalized Langevin equation using a Tauberian theorem for Laplace transforms due to Hardy, Littlewood, and Karamata and generalized Kubo relations for the relevant transport coefficients are derived from the asymptotic form of the mean square displacement.

Time-Resolved Protein Side-Chain Motions Unraveled by High-Resolution Relaxometry and Molecular Dynamics Simulations

TL;DR: A new NMR method based on high-resolution relaxometry and high-field relaxation is presented to determine quantitatively both motional amplitudes and time scales of methyl-bearing side chains in the picosecond-to-nanosecond range and unambiguously identify slow motions in the low nanosecondrange.

Power-law and logarithmic relaxations of hydrated proteins: A molecular dynamics simulations study

TL;DR: Investigation of trajectories of consecutive nitrogen atoms along the protein backbone reveals that correlated forward-backward jumps, which exhibit a substantial degree of cooperativity, are a key feature of the anomalous dynamics.

Scalable molecular dynamics with NAMD

TL;DR: NAMD as discussed by the authors is a parallel molecular dynamics code designed for high-performance simulation of large biomolecular systems that scales to hundreds of processors on high-end parallel platforms, as well as tens of processors in low-cost commodity clusters, and also runs on individual desktop and laptop computers.

The missing term in effective pair potentials

TL;DR: On the other hand, in this paper, a superparamagnetically collapsed Mossbauer spectrum is obtained for carbon with fewer active sites, and these particles sinter and carburize in a manner more similar to that of Fe particles supported on graphite.
