A historical perspective on the application of molecular dynamics (MD) to biological macromolecules is presented. Recent developments combining state-of-the-art force fields with continuum solvation calculations have allowed us to reach the fourth er

Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is a member of the MMP family that has been associated with degradation of the extracellular matrix in normal and pathological conditions. A unique characteristic of MMP-9 is its ability to exist in a monomeric and

Significant progress has been achieved in computational methods to treat solvent effects in recent years. Among various techniques, the continuum solvent approach appears to be practically promising because it can be used to calculate reliable intera

The application of the quantum mechanics–free energy hybrid technique (QM–FE) to calculate the free energy changes in two enzymatic reaction systems, trypsin and catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) is reported. The results rationalize the observe

We investigated the relative free energies of hapten binding to the germ line and mature forms of the 48G7 antibody Fab fragments by applying a continuum model to structures sampled from molecular dynamics simulations in explicit solvent. Reasonable

Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) and β-lactamases are related enzymes, the former are the targets for β-lactam antibiotics and the latter are resistance enzyme to these antibiotics. The two families of enzymes share structural topologies and cert

β-Lactams are widely used in medicine as potent antibacterials and in chemistry as synthetic intermediates. The investigation of the intrinsic reactivity of β-lactams is important for the understan...

Noncovalent interactions are important in many physiological processes of complexation which involve all components of the living cells. Here we report an approach to computationally study the interaction free energies in protein−protein complexes

We investigated the effects of mutations at positions 164 and 179 of the TEM(pUC19) beta-lactamase on turnover of substrates. The direct consequence of some mutations at these sites is that clinically important expanded-spectrum beta-lactams, such as

Hydrogen bonds between a small molecule and an enzyme can potentially contribute significantly to the stability of the complex. Such electrostatic interactions can also lower energy barriers for reactions by solvation of high-energy species. A novel
