Abstract
We describe PTRAJ and its successor CPPTRAJ, two complementary, portable, and freely available computer programs for the analysis and processing of time series of three-dimensional atomic positions (i.e., coordinate trajectories) and the data therein derived. Common tools include the ability to manipulate the data to convert among trajectory formats, process groups of trajectories generated with ensemble methods (e.g., replica exchange molecular dynamics), image with periodic boundary conditions, create average structures, strip subsets of the system, and perform calculations such as RMS fitting, measuring distances, B-factors, radii of gyration, radial distribution functions, and time correlations, among other actions and analyses. Both the PTRAJ and CPPTRAJ programs and source code are freely available under the GNU General Public License version 3 and are currently distributed within the AmberTools 12 suite of support programs that make up part of the Amber package of computer programs (see http://ambe...

Transitions of CDR-L3 Loop Canonical Cluster Conformations on the Micro-to-Millisecond Timescale.

TL;DR: The model of static canonical structures is extended to a dynamic conformational ensemble as a new paradigm in the field of antibody structure design to reconstruct the kinetics and probabilities of the transitions between canonical structures.

Protein-Protein Interaction-Gaussian Accelerated Molecular Dynamics (PPI-GaMD): Characterization of Protein Binding Thermodynamics and Kinetics.

TL;DR: PPI-GaMD provides a highly efficient and easy-to-use approach for binding free energy and kinetics calculations of PPIs and provides mechanistic insights into barstar binding to barnase, which involves long-range electrostatic interactions and multiple binding pathways.

Improved NOE fitting for flexible molecules based on molecular mechanics data – a case study with S-adenosylmethionine

TL;DR: This work presents an approach that refines the highly accurate PANIC NMR methodology combined with clustering approaches to generate conformers, but without restraining the simulations or considering the relative population distributions generated by MD.

Stereo- and Regioselectivity in Catalyzed Transformation of a 1,2-Disubstituted Vicinal Diol and the Corresponding Diketone by Wild Type and Laboratory Evolved Alcohol Dehydrogenases

TL;DR: ADH-A from Rhodococcus ruber DSM 44541 catalyzes the oxidation of (S)-1-phenylethanol 3000-fold more efficiently as compared with the 2-hydroxylated derivative (R)-phenylethane-1,2-diol, suggesting a shift from a less active enzyme.

General definition of ring puckering coordinates

TL;DR: In this article, a unique mean plane is defined for a general monocyclic puckered ring, which is described by amplitude and phase coordinates which are generalizations of those introduced for cyclopentane by Kilpatrick, Pitzer, and Spitzer.
