Probing Allostery Through DNA

TL;DR: The binding affinity of a protein near a DNA hairpin is similarly dependent on their separation, which—together with molecular dynamics simulations—suggests that deformation of the double-helical structure is the origin of DNA allostery.

Interaction Entropy: A New Paradigm for Highly Efficient and Reliable Computation of Protein-Ligand Binding Free Energy.

TL;DR: This interaction entropy paradigm introduces a novel and intuitive conceptual understanding of the entropic effect in protein-ligand binding and other general interaction systems as well as a practical method for highly efficient calculation of this effect.

Standard Free Energy of Releasing a Localized Water Molecule from the Binding Pockets of Proteins: Double-Decoupling Method

TL;DR: The double-decoupling approach is used to calculate the standard free energy of tying up a water molecule in the binding pockets of two protein complexes to be favorable and offer ideas that could be used in optimizing protein-drug interactions, by designing ligands that are capable of targeting localized water molecules in protein binding sites.

Multiconfiguration thermodynamic integration

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified thermodynamic integration technique is presented to obtain free energy differences from molecular dynamics simulations, where the commonly employed single configuration (slow growth) approximation is not made.

Efficient Algorithms for Langevin and DPD Dynamics.

TL;DR: Several algorithms for stochastic dynamics, including Langevin dynamics and different variants of Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD), applicable to systems with or without constraints are presented, showing that the measured thermal relaxation rates agree well with theoretical predictions.

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 Study of Liquid Water

TL;DR: In this paper, a sample of water, consisting of 216 rigid molecules at mass density 1 gm/cm3, has been simulated by computer using the molecular dynamics technique, subject to an effective pair potential that incorporates the principal structural effects of manybody interactions in real water.

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.
