    Notes: Summary A new and promising development in the field of computer simulation of molecular systems is the socalled thermodynamic cycle integration technique, which combines well-known results from statistical thermodynamics with powerful computer simulation methods. The basic formulas, the development and the applications in the areas of drug design, protein engineering and conformational analysis of this elegant technique are discussed.

    Notes: The results of a 125 psec molecular dynamics simulation of a lac headpiece-operator complex in aqueous solution are reported. The complexsatisfies essentially all experimental distance information derived from two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (2-D-NMR) studies. The interaction between lac repressor headpiece and its operator based on many direct- and water-mediated hydrogenbonds and nonpolar contacts which allow the formation of a tight complex. Nostable hydrogen bonds between side chains and bases and found, while specific contacts occur between both nonpolar groups and, to a lesserextent, through water-mediated hydrogen bonds. The simulated complex structure in water is intrinsically stable without application of nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) distance restraints, while being compatible with most of the available biochemical, genetic, andchemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (CIDNP) data.

    Notes: The technique of two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (2D-NMR) has recently assumed an active role in obtaining information on structures of polypeptides, small proteins, sugars, and DNA fragments in solution. In order to generate spatial structures from the atom-atom distance information obtained by the NMR method, different procedures have been developed. Here we introduce a combined procedure of distance geometry (DG) and molecular dynamics (MD) calculations for generating 3D structures that are consistent with the NMR data set and have reasonable internal energies. We report the application of the combined procedure on the lac repressor DNA binding domain (headpiece) using a set of 169 NOE and 17 “hydrogen bond” distance constraints. Eight of ten structures generated by the distance geometry algorithm were refined within 10 ps MD simulation time to structures with low internal energies that satisfied the distance constraints.Although the combination of DG and MD was designed to combine the good sampling properties of the DG algorithm with an efficient method of lowering the internal energy of the molecule, we found that the MD algorithm contributes significantly to the sampling as well.

    Notes: Comparisons of the crystal structures of thermolysin and the thermolysin-like protease produced by B. cereus have recently led to the hypothesis that neutral proteases undergo a hinge-bending motion. We have investigated this hypothesis by analyzing molecular dynamics simulations of thermolysin in vacuum and water, using the essential dynamics method. This method is able to extract large concerted atomic motions of biological importance from a molecular dynamics trajectory. The analysis of the thermolysin trajectories indeed revealed a large rigid body hinge-bending motion of the Nterminal and C-terminal domains, similar to the motion hypothesized from the crystal structure comparisons. In addition, it appeared that the essential dynamics properties derived from the vacuum simulation were similar to those derived from the solvent simulation. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Recently, we developed a method (Amadei et al., J. Biomol. Str. Dyn. 13: 615-626; de Groot et al., J. Biomol. Str. Dyn. 13: 741-751, 1996) to obtain an extended sampling of the configurational space of proteins, using an adapted form of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, based on the essential dynamics (ED) (Amadei et al., Proteins 17:412-425, 1993) method. In the present study, this ED sampling technique is applied to the histidine-containing phosphocarrier protein HPr from Escherichia coli. We find a cluster of conformations that is an order of magnitude larger than that found for a usual MD simulation of comparable length. The structures in this cluster are geometrically and energetically comparable to NMR structures. Moreover, on average, this large cluster satisfies nearly all NMR-derived distance restraints. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Recently the basic theory of essential dynamics, a method for extracting large concerted motions from protein molecular dynamics trajectories, was described. Here, we introduce and test new aspects. A method for diagonalizing large covariance matrices is presented. We show that it is possible to perform essential dynamics using different subsets of atoms and compare these to the basic C-α analysis. Essential dynamics analyses are also compared to the normal modes method. The stability of the essential space during a simulation is investigated by comparing the two halves of a trajectory. Apart from the analyses in Cartesian space, the essential dynamics in φ/ψ torsion angle space is discussed. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
