Simulations of protein folding and protein association happen on timescales that are orders of magnitude larger than what can typically be covered in all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. Use of low-resolution models alleviates this problem but may reduce the accuracy of the simulations. We introduce a replica-exchange-based multiscale sampling technique that combines the faster sampling in coarse-grained simulations with the potentially higher accuracy of all-atom simulations. After testing the efficiency of our Resolution Exchange with Tunneling (ResET) in simulations of the Trp-cage protein, an often used model to evaluate sampling techniques in protein simulations, we use our approach to compare the landscape of wild type and A2T mutant Abeta 1-42 peptides. Our results suggest a mechanism by that the mutation of a small hydrophobic Alanine (A) into a bulky polar Threonine (T) may interfere with the self-assembly of Abeta - fibrils. |
