ABSTRACT Specialized to simulate proteins in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with explicit solvation, FF12MC is a combination of a new protein simulation protocol employing uniformly reduced atomic masses by tenfold and a revised AMBER forcefield FF99 with (i) shortened C– H bonds, (ii) removal of torsions involving a nonperipheral sp3 atom, and (iii) reduced 1–4 interaction scaling

  • Refinement of Protein Conformations Using a Macromolecular Energy Minimization Procedure
    J. Mol. Biol. (1969) 46, 269-279 Refinement of Protein Conformations using a Macromolecular Energy Minimization Procedure MICHAEL LEVITT AND SHNEIOR LIFSON Weixmann Institute of Science Rehovot, Israel (Received 3 December 1968, and in revised form 29 July, 1969) This paper presents a rapid refinement procedure capable of deriving the stable conformation of a macromolecule from experimental model co-ordinates. All the degrees of freedom of the molecule are allowed to vary and all parts of the structure are refined simultaneously in a general force-field. The procedure has been applied to myoglobin and lysozyme. The deviations of peptide bonds from planar conformation and of various bond angles from their respective average values are found to contribute significantly to the retied protein conformation. Hydrogen atoms are not included in the present refinement. A set of non-bonded potential functions, applicable to the equilibrium of a folded protein in an aqueous medium, is described and tested on myoglobin. 1. Introduction The Cartesian co-ordinates of a protein molecule have been obtained from measure- ments on a rigid wire model, built according to electron density maps derived from X-ray diffraction measurements. The errors inherent in measuring a mechanical model give rise to highly strained bond lengths and angles. Much of this strain can be relieved without affecting the relative orientation of parts of the molecule. Diamond (1966) proposed a co-ordinate refinement procedure which varied certain dihedral and bond angles to give the best fit to the rough measured co-ordinates. The fixed bond lengths and angles of each amino acid residue were obtained from crystallographic studies of small molecules.

Personal Statement I pioneered of computational biology setting up the conceptual and theoretical framework for a field that I am still actively involved in at all levels. More specifically, I still write and maintain computer programs of all types including large simulation packages and molecular graphics interfaces. I have also developed a high-level of expertise in Perl scripting, as well as in the advanced use of the Office Suite of programs (Word, Excel and PowerPoint), which is more important and rare than it may seem. My research focuses on three different but inter-related areas of research. First, we are interested in predicting the folding of a polypeptide chain into a protein with a unique native-structure with particular emphasis on how the hydrophobic forces affect the pathway. We expect hydrophobic interactions to energetically favor structure that are more native-like.
