Structure Calculation of Biological Macromolecules From NMR Data

TL;DR: The introduction of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy as a technique for protein structure determination has made it possible to obtain structures with comparable accuracy also in a solution environment that is much closer to the natural situation in a living being than the single crystals required for protein crystallography.

Internal Coordinates for Molecular Dynamics and Minimization in Structure Determination and Refinement

TL;DR: A software module is presented which allows one to efficiently perform molecular dynamics and local minimization calculations in internal coordinates when incorporated into a molecular dynamics package and provides superior torsion-angle dynamics functionality relative to the native X-PLOR implementation.

Efficient and direct generation of multidimensional free energy surfaces via adiabatic dynamics without coordinate transformations.

TL;DR: By formulating TAMD in a manner that is closer to the original AFED approach, including the generalized Gaussian moment thermostat (GGMT) and multiple time-scale integration, multidimensional free energy surfaces for complex systems can be generated directly from the probability distribution function of the extended phase-space variables.

New tacrine-huperzine A hybrids (huprines): highly potent tight-binding acetylcholinesterase inhibitors of interest for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: Molecular modeling simulations of the AChE-inhibitor complex provided a basis to explain the differences in inhibitory activity of these compounds and supported the tight-binding character of compounds (-)-20 and (-)-30 and showed their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.

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.
