3 Central idea of Molecular Dynamics simulations Biological activity is the result of time dependent interactions between molecules and these interactions occur at the interfaces such as protein-protein, protein-na, protein-ligand. Macroscopic observables (laboratory) are related to microscopic behavior (atomic level). Time dependent (and independent) microscopic behavior of a molecule can be calculated by molecular dynamics simulations. Molecular Dynamics Simulations One of the principal tools for modeling proteins, nucleic acids and their complexes. Stability of proteins Folding of proteins Molecular recognition by:proteins, DNA, RNA, lipids, hormones STP, etc. Enzyme reactions Rational design of biologically active molecules (drug design) Small and large-scale conformational changes. determination and construction of 3D structures (homology, X- ray diffraction, NMR) Dynamic processes such as ion transport in biological systems. 3
4 Molecular dynamics simulations Approximate the interactions in the system using simplified models (fast calculations). Include in the model only those features that are necessary to describe the system. In the case of molecular dynamics simulations, this means a potential energy function that models the basic interactions. Allows one to gain insight into situations that are impossible to study experimentally Run computer experiments. Ask the question «What if?» The method allows the prediction of the static and dynamic properties of molecules directly from the underling interactions between the molecules. Classical Dynamics Newton s Equations of motion F i = m i! a i = m i! dv i dt = m! d 2 r i dt 2 F i =!" i E Position, speed and acceleration are functions of time r i (t); v i (t); a i (t) The force is related to the acceleration and, in turn, to the potential energy Integration of the equations of motion => initial structure : r i (t=0); initial distribution of velocities: v i (t=0) 4
5 Dynamics: calculating trajectories Trajectory: positions as function of time: r i (t) How does one determine r i (t) from F i = m i a i? Simple case where acceleration is constant a = dv dt F i = m i! a i = m i! dv i dt = m! d 2 r i dt 2 v = at + v 0 Simple case: motion of a particle in one dimension Acceleration: If a is constant a f(t) Speed: Position: The trajectory x(t) obtained by integration taking into account the initial positions and velocities (x 0 et v 0 ) a = dv dt v(t) = at + v 0 v(t) = dx(t) dt x(t) = v! t + x 0 = a! t2 2 + v 0 t + x 0 5
6 Initial conditions are Balistic trajectory x(0) = z(0) = 0 vx(0) = vo cos vz (0) = vo sin Z In the x direction ax = 0 vx(t) = vo cos x(t) = vo cos t V 0 X In the z direction, one has to take into account gravity az = g vz (t) = vo sin - gt z(t)= vo sin t g t 2 /2 z = ax -b x2 : the trajectory in the (x,z) plane is parabolic E(R) = 1!

17 Acetylcholinesterase Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is an enzyme that hydrolyzes ACh to acetate and choline to inactivate the neurotransmitter A very fast enzyme, approaching diffusion controlled. Inhibitors are utilized in the treatment of various neurological diseases, including Alzheimer s disease.
