Traversing the free-energy pathways of intricate biomolecular processes Enhanced simulation development and applications

It is shown that the PMD enhanced sampling approach in combination with force-field MD simulations of conformational transitions that require three or more collective variables (CVs) to describe the processes efficiently localizes the average transition path and simultaneously obtains the free-energy profile along the...

Can intrinsic loop energetics predict G-Quadruplex topology?

The results reveal that loop-geometry preferences strongly depend on the loop spatial span and, with increasing length, shift from low-span toward large-span geometries, and it is discovered that loop-geometry preferences arise from an interplay between the electrostatic repulsion of phosphate groups and loop overstret...
