CG2AT2: An enhanced fragment-based approach for serial multi-scale molecular dynamics simulations
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
Coarse-grained molecular dynamics provides a means for simulating the assembly and interactions of macromolecular complexes at a reduced level of representation, thereby allowing both longer timescale and larger sized simulations. Here, we describe an enhanced fragment-based protocol for converting macromolecular complexes from coarse-grained to atomistic resolution, for further refinement and analysis. While the focus is upon systems that comprise an integral membrane protein embedded in a phospholipid bilayer, the technique is also suitable for membrane-anchored and soluble protein/nucleotide complexes. Overall, this provides a method for generating an accurate and well-equilibrated atomic-level description of a macromolecular complex. The approach is evaluated using a diverse test set of 11 system configurations of varying size and complexity. Simulations are assessed in terms of protein stereochemistry, conformational drift, lipid/protein interactions, and lipid dynamics.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
