Simulation analysis of the stability mutant R96H of T4 lysozyme.

TL;DR: Free energy simulation methods are used to analyze the effects of the mutation Arg 96----His on the stability of T4 lysozyme and it is shown that a number of contributions that stabilize the wild type or the mutant partially cancel in the overall free energy difference.

Reversal of the Hofmeister Series: Specific Ion Effects on Peptides B

TL;DR: The present study provides a molecular rationalization of Hofmeister ordering for the anions and provides a route for tuning these interactions by titration or mutation of basic amino acid residues on the protein surface by means of NMR spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations.

Molecular dynamic simulations analysis of ritronavir and lopinavir as SARS-CoV 3CLpro inhibitors

TL;DR: To understand the fine details of the molecular interactions between these proteinase inhibitors and the SARS virus via complexation, molecular dynamics simulations were carried out and showed that flap closing was clearly observed when the inhibitors bind to the active site of SARS-CoV 3CLpro.

Improved simulation of liquid water by molecular dynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, a four-charge model for each molecule and a modification of the prior ''BNS'' interaction was proposed to improve the fidelity of the molecular dynamics simulation, leading to a density maximum near 27°C for the liquid in coexistence with its vapor and to molecular distribution functions in better agreement with x-ray scattering experiments.

Molecular dynamics of liquid n-butane near its boiling point

TL;DR: The self-diffusion coefficient of n-butane is approximately 6.0 × 10−5 cm2/s and the corresponding velocity autocorrelation function displays practically no cage effect, differing markedly from argon and other simple fluids.
