Effects of Coulomb and vdW modifiers on hydrogen-bonds, energy and structural properties of peptide nanomembranes: A study by Molecular Dynamics simulations
JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR LIQUIDS(2023)
摘要
In this study, four independent Molecular Dynamics simulations were conducted to evaluate how the calculation method of Coulomb and van der Waals (vdW) interactions (Cut-off or Particle-Mesh-Ewald - PME), and their modifiers: None, Potential-Shift (PS) or Potential-Shift-Verlet (PSV) affect the energetic and structural properties of A6H peptide nanomembranes. The results indicate that the use of cut-off as a basic method for calculating interactions may result in a more pronounced interaction, significantly affecting important characteristics of peptide nanomaterials, especially when compared with results obtained with PME/PSV. Hydrogen bond lifetime, a key feature of peptide nanomaterials, is strongly affected by the modifier used, resulting in a significant impact on self-assembled structures with a highly aligned peptide beta-sheet structure.
