The hydration force determined by the boundary element method (BEM) is taken into account as the mean force terms of solvent including Coulombic interactions with the induced surface charge and the surface pressure of solvent. The exponential model is taken for the friction kernel. A simulation study has been performed on the cyclic undecapeptide cyclosporin A (CPA). The results obtained from the new method (GLDBEM) have been analyzed and compared with that obtained from the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and the conventional stochastic dynamics (SD) simulation. We have found that the results obtained from GLDBEM show the obvious improvement over the SD simulation technique in the study of molecular structure and dynamic properties.展开更多

Recently, with the developments of advanced mathematical modeling in the field of implicit solvent modeling and simulation, providing surface meshes with good qualities efficiently for large real biomolecular systems becomes an urgent issue beyond its traditional purposes for visualization and geometry analyses for molecular structure. In this review, we summarize recent works on this issue. First, various definitions of molecular surfaces and corresponding meshing methods are introduced. Second, our recent meshing tool, TMSmesh, and its performances are presented. Finally, we show the applications of the molecular surface mesh in implicit solvent modeling and simulations using boundary element method (BEM) and finite element method (FEM).展开更多

It is based on the formal charge parameter sets of ionizable groups and applied in conjunction with the finite difference Poisson-Boltzmann (FDPB) method to calculate the electrostatic interactions. All simulations were performed on the native 2Zn insulin and its fast-acting mutants such as B9D (B9Ser→Asp), B9E (B9Aer→Glu), B9EB10D (B9Ser→ Glu, B10His→Asp), and B10D (B10His→Asp). The salt and pH dependent properties of these dimers were analyzed from the aspect of electrostatic interaction, and the theoretical basis of the fast-acting behavior of these mutants was explained. It is found that the results agree well with experimental observations.展开更多
