We investigated the free energy landscapes of a highly structured beta-hairpin peptide (MBH12) and a less structured peptide with a single mutation of Tyr6 to Asp6 (MBH10). For the free energy mapping, starting from an extended conformation, the replica exchange molecular dynamic simulations for two beta-hairpins were performed using a modified version of an all-atom force field employing an implicit solvation (param99MOD5/GBSA). With the present simulation approach, we demonstrated that detailed stability changes associated with the sequence modification from MBH12 to MBH10 are quantitatively well predicted at the all-atom level.
我们研究了一种高度结构化的β-发夹肽(MBH12)和一种结构较松散的肽(Tyr6突变为Asp6的MBH10)的自由能景观。为了进行自由能映射,从伸展构象开始,使用采用隐式溶剂化的全原子力场的修改版本(param99MOD5/GBSA)对两种β-发夹进行了副本交换分子动力学模拟。通过目前的模拟方法,我们证明了在全原子水平上可以很好地定量预测与从MBH12到MBH10的序列修饰相关的详细稳定性变化。
