MA'AT conformational models of the phi torsion angles of O-glycosidic linkages differ from those obtained from MD simulation. To determine the source of the discrepancy, MA'AT analyses were performed using DFT-derived equations obtained with and without psi constraints. The resulting phi models were essentially the same, indicating a force-field problem. Circular standard deviations (CSDs) were found to provide reliable estimates of torsional averaging.
MA'AT 构象模型中 O-糖苷键的 phi 扭转角与 MD 模拟得到的结果不同。为了确定差异的来源,使用带有和不带有 psi 约束的 DFT 导出方程进行了 MA'AT 分析。得到的 phi 模型基本相同,表明这是一个力场问题。发现圆标准偏差(CSD)可以可靠地估计扭转平均。
