X Abstract

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and nuclear magnetic resonance spin-relaxation measurements provide detailed insights into ps-ns structural dynamics of proteins. An analysis of discrepancies between the two methods is presented for the B3 immunoglobulin-binding domain of streptococcal protein G. MD simulations using three MD force fields (OPLS-AA, AMBER ff99SB, and AMBER ff03) overestimate the flexibility of backbone NH vectors at the borders of secondary structure and in loops when compared with experimentally determined backbone amide generalized order parameters (Hall and Fushman, [J Am Chem Soc 2006; 12:7855-7870]). Comparison with a previous study of residual dipolar coupling constants (Bouvignies et al., [Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2005;102:13885-13890]) indicates that slower timescale motions do not account for the discrepancies. Structural analysis reveals that relative imbalance between the description of hydrogen bonding and other terms of modern force fields may be responsible for disagreement.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
