In turn, drug design process, especially the fragment-based approaches, could benefit from the knowledge. Retrospective virtual screening campaigns by employing AutoDock Vina followed by protein-ligand interaction finger- printing (PLIF) identification by using recently published PyPLIF HIPPOS were the main techniques used here. The ligands and decoys datasets from the enhanced version of the database of useful de- coys (DUDE) targeting human G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) were employed in this research since the mutation data are available and could be used to retrospectively verify the prediction. The results show that the method presented in this article could pinpoint some retrospectively verified molecular determinants. The method is therefore suggested to be employed as a routine in drug Citation: Istyastono, E.P.; Yuniarti, design and discovery. N.; Prasasty, V.D.; Mungkasi, S.

BERENDSEN4 1Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Uppsala University, Husargatan 3, Box 596, S-75124 Uppsala, Sweden 2Stockholm Bioinformatics Center, SCFAB, Stockholm University, SE-10691 Stockholm, Sweden 3Max-Planck Institut fu¨r Polymerforschung, Ackermannweg 10, D-55128 Mainz, Germany 4Groningen Biomolecular Sciences and Biotechnology Institute, University of Groningen, Nijenborgh 4, NL-9747 AG Groningen, The Netherlands Received 12 February 2005; Accepted 18 March 2005 DOI 10.1002/jcc.20291 Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com). Abstract: This article describes the software suite GROMACS (Groningen MAchine for Chemical Simulation) that was developed at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, in the early 1990s. The software, written in ANSI C, originates from a parallel hardware project, and is well suited for parallelization on processor clusters. By careful optimization of neighbor searching and of inner loop performance, GROMACS is a very fast program for molecular dynamics simulation. It does not have a force field of its own, but is compatible with GROMOS, OPLS, AMBER, and ENCAD force fields. In addition, it can handle polarizable shell models and flexible constraints. The program is versatile, as force routines can be added by the user, tabulated functions can be specified, and analyses can be easily customized. Nonequilibrium dynamics and free energy determinations are incorporated. Interfaces with popular quantum-chemical packages (MOPAC, GAMES-UK, GAUSSIAN) are provided to perform mixed MM/QM simula- tions. The package includes about 100 utility and analysis programs.

  • Automated Construction of Quantum–Classical Hybrid Models Arxiv:2102.09355V1 [Physics.Chem-Ph] 18 Feb 2021
    Automated construction of quantum{classical hybrid models Christoph Brunken and Markus Reiher∗ ETH Z¨urich, Laboratorium f¨urPhysikalische Chemie, Vladimir-Prelog-Weg 2, 8093 Z¨urich, Switzerland February 18, 2021 Abstract We present a protocol for the fully automated construction of quantum mechanical-(QM){ classical hybrid models by extending our previously reported approach on self-parametri- zing system-focused atomistic models (SFAM) [J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2020, 16 (3), 1646{1665]. In this QM/SFAM approach, the size and composition of the QM region is evaluated in an automated manner based on first principles so that the hybrid model describes the atomic forces in the center of the QM region accurately. This entails the au- tomated construction and evaluation of differently sized QM regions with a bearable com- putational overhead that needs to be paid for automated validation procedures. Applying SFAM for the classical part of the model eliminates any dependence on pre-existing pa- rameters due to its system-focused quantum mechanically derived parametrization. Hence, QM/SFAM is capable of delivering a high fidelity and complete automation. Furthermore, since SFAM parameters are generated for the whole system, our ansatz allows for a con- venient re-definition of the QM region during a molecular exploration. For this purpose, a local re-parametrization scheme is introduced, which efficiently generates additional clas- sical parameters on the fly when new covalent bonds are formed (or broken) and moved to the classical region. arXiv:2102.09355v1 [physics.chem-ph] 18 Feb 2021 ∗Corresponding author; e-mail: [email protected] 1 1 Introduction In contrast to most protocols of computational quantum chemistry that consider isolated molecules, chemical processes can take place in a vast variety of complex environments.

  • Instructions on Making Pdf Files Containing 3D
    Detailed Instructions for Creating an Embedded Virtual 3-D Image of a Molecule Creating the documents with embedded virtual three-dimensional images may be done fairly easily by repeating the following procedures. Once you have embedded your first image, the use of that image is limited only by your imagination. The following instructions are written in extreme detail with annotated screen shots of the four programs you will use throughout for clarification. Once you are familiar with the procedure embedding a structure of interest should take less than 20 min., limited only by the speed with which you can click a mouse. In practice most of our embedded 3-D images have been created by our undergraduate student collaborators. Step 1. Creating a 2-D image in ChemSketch Using ACD ChemSketch 11.0 Freeware (http://www.acdlabs.com/download/chemsk_download.html ) a two dimensional structure may be drawn as per your specific need (see Figure 1). Once the molecule is drawn, optimized it by clicking the 3-D optimization button then save as an MDL molfile (*.mol). Figure 1: A screen shot of acetone drawn with ChemSketch after 3-D optimization. Step 2. Converting the *.mol file to a *.pdb file using Open Babel The file can now be converted from a .mol file to a .pdb file, Protein Data Bank format, to be properly accessed with the Adobe Acrobat 3D Toolkit 8.1.0. The file conversion is done using Open Babel Graphical User Interface v2.2.0 (openbabel.sourceforge.net) under default settings. Step by step instructions: A.

  • Designing Universal Chemical Markup (UCM) Through the Reusable Methodology Based on Analyzing Existing Related Formats
    Designing Universal Chemical Markup (UCM) through the reusable methodology based on analyzing existing related formats Background: In order to design concepts for a new general-purpose chemical format we analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of current formats for common chemical data. While the new format is discussed more in the next article, here we describe our software s t tools and two stage analysis procedure that supplied the necessary information for the n i r development. The chemical formats analyzed in both stages were: CDX, CDXML, CML, P CTfile and XDfile. In addition the following formats were included in the first stage only: e r P CIF, InChI, NCBI ASN.1, NCBI XML, PDB, PDBx/mmCIF, PDBML, SMILES, SLN and Mol2. Results: A two stage analysis process devised for both XML (Extensible Markup Language) and non-XML formats enabled us to verify if and how potential advantages of XML are utilized in the widely used general-purpose chemical formats. In the first stage we accumulated information about analyzed formats and selected the formats with the most general-purpose chemical functionality for the second stage. During the second stage our set of software quality requirements was used to assess the benefits and issues of selected formats. Additionally, the detailed analysis of XML formats structure in the second stage helped us to identify concepts in those formats. Using these concepts we came up with the concise structure for a new chemical format, which is designed to provide precise built-in validation capabilities and aims to avoid the potential issues of analyzed formats.

  • Visualizing 3D Molecular Structures Using an Augmented Reality App
    Visualizing 3D molecular structures using an augmented reality app Kristina Eriksen, Bjarne E. Nielsen, Michael Pittelkow 5 Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen, Universitetsparken 5, DK-2100 Copenhagen, Denmark. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT 10 We present a simple procedure to make an augmented reality app to visualize any 3D chemical model. The molecular structure may be based on data from crystallographic data or from computer modelling. This guide is made in such a way, that no programming skills are needed and the procedure uses free software and is a way to visualize 3D structures that are normally difficult to comprehend in the 2D 15 space of paper. The process can be applied to make 3D representation of any 2D object, and we envisage the app to be useful when visualizing simple stereochemical problems, when presenting a complex 3D structure on a poster presentation or even in audio-visual presentations. The method works for all molecules including small molecules, supramolecular structures, MOFs and biomacromolecules. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT 20 KEYWORDS Augmented reality, Unity, Vuforia, Application, 3D models. 25 Journal 5/18/21 Page 1 of 14 INTRODUCTION Conveying information about three-dimensional (3D) structures in two-dimensional (2D) space, such as on paper or a screen can be difficult. Augmented reality (AR) provides an opportunity to visualize 2D 30 structures in 3D. Software to make simple AR apps is becoming common and ranges of free software now exist to make customized apps. AR has transformed visualization in computer games and films, but the technique is distinctly under-used in (chemical) science.1 In chemical science the challenge of visualizing in 3D exists at several levels ranging from teaching of stereo chemistry problems at freshman university level to visualizing complex molecular structures at 35 the forefront of chemical research.
