Hydration Thermodynamic Properties of Amino Acid Analogues: A Systematic Comparison of Biomolecular Force Fields and Water Models

Hess, Berk, van der Vegt, Nico F. A.·2006·The Journal of Physical Chemistry B

Abstract

We present an extensive study on hydration thermodynamic properties of analogues of 13 amino acid side chains at 298 K and 1 atm. The hydration free energies DeltaG, entropies DeltaS, enthalpies DeltaH, and heat capacities Deltac(P)() were determined for 10 combinations of force fields and water models. The statistical sampling was extended such that precisions of 0.3, 0.8, 0.8 kJ/mol and 25 J/(mol K) were reached for DeltaG, TDeltaS, DeltaH, and Deltac(P)(), respectively. The three force fields used in this study are AMBER99, GROMOS 53A6, and OPLS-AA; the five water models are SPC, SPC/E, TIP3P, TIP4P, and TIP4P-Ew. We found that the choice of water model strongly influences the accuracy of the calculated hydration entropies, enthalpies, and heat capacities, while differences in accuracy between the force fields are small. On the basis of an analysis of the hydrophobic analogues of the amino acid side chains, we discuss what properties of the water models are responsible for the observed discrepancies between computed and experimental values. The SPC/E water model performs best with all three biomolecular force fields.

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.
