    Notes: Abstract We have built a molecular dynamics model for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (RT) complexed with a 19/18-mer template/primer by combining the structural information of a low resolution crystal structure of a HIV-1 RT/DNA complex (1hmi) with that of a high resolution crystal structure of unliganded HIV-1 RT (1rtj). The process involved slow forcing of the α-carbons of 1rtj onto those of 1hmi using constrained MD simulations, while immersing the protein in aqueous solution. A similar technique was used to build the bent all-atom DNA duplex, which was then docked into the modeled protein. The resulting model complex was refined using molecular dynamics simulation with the Particle-mesh Ewald method employed to accommodate long-range electrostatic interactions. New parameters of the Amber force field that affect DNA twist are tested and largely validated. The model has been used successfully to explain the results of vertical scanning mutagenesis of residue 266 (Trp266). Recently, the low resolution crystal structure of the HIV-1 RT/DNA complex has been refined to a 2.8 Å resolution (2hmi) and a crystal structure of a HIV-1/RT/dTTP ternary complex has been determined at 3.2 Å resolution (1rtd). A detailed structural comparison of the prior model structure and the two experimental structures becomes possible. Overall, the three structures share many similarities. The root mean square deviations of the α-carbons for the individual subdomains among the three structures are within the same ranges. The secondary structure assignments in the three structures are nearly identical. Key protein-DNA contacts such as those in the region of the primer grip are also similar in the three structures.

    Notes: We report two 1 ns molecular dynamic (MD) simulations on Z-DNA for which the long-range Coulomb terms are explicitly evaluated by the Particle–Mesh–Ewald method [J. Chem. Phys. 98, 10089 (1993)]. The starting structures were based on the 1 A(ring) resolution crystallographic structure of Gessner et al. [J. Bio. Chem. 264, 7921 (1989)]. The average simulation structures of the DNA compare well to the crystallographic structure; the root-mean-square position deviations for the DNA double-strand heavy atoms are approximately 0.5 A(ring). Watson–Crick hydrogen bonding patterns are preserved without invoking constraints. These results emphasize the importance of proper treatment of the long-range forces for highly ionic systems. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract Current computer simulations of biomolecules typically make use of classical molecular dynamics methods, as a very large number (tens to hundreds of thousands) of atoms are involved over timescales of many nanoseconds. The methodology for treating short-range bonded and van der Waals interactions has matured. However, long-range electrostatic interactions still represent a bottleneck in simulations. In this article, we introduce the basic issues for an accurate representation of the relevant electrostatic interactions. In spite of the huge computational time demanded by most biomolecular systems, it is no longer necessary to resort to uncontrolled approximations such as the use of cutoffs. In particular, we discuss the Ewald summation methods, the fast particle mesh methods, and the fast multipole methods. We also review recent efforts to understand the role of boundary conditions in systems with long-range interactions, and conclude with a short perspective on future trends.

    Notes: Abstract We consider regularity properties of the quasipotential function V defined by A. D. Ventcel and M. I. Freidlin in their work on asymptotically small random perturbations of stable dynamical systems. The regularity properties of V are important for the success of various asymptotic calculations carried out in the literature. Employing classical techniques from the calculus of variations and differential equations, we prove various results about the smoothness of V and its level sets. Among other things, there exists a dense connected open set, containing the stable point for the underlying dynamical system, in which V is continuously differentiable to the same degree as the Lagrangian involved in the defining variational problem.

    Notes: The methylnitrenium, ethylnitrenium and dimethylnitrenium ions are prepared by charge reversal collisional activation (CR CA) of the corresponding negative ions; their collisional activation mass spectra are shown to support the assigned structures. MINDO/3 energies are used to evaluate relative energies of [CH4N]+ and [C2H6N]+ isomers, and to determine whether unstable forms rearrange spontaneously to stable ones. As in other examples, charge reversal here generates cations that do not exist in an energy well, but their transient existence is established because their fragmentation is more rapid than their rearrangement to a more stable form.
