Abstract excerpt
To probe the microscopic mechanisms that govern the titration behavior of buried ionizable groups, microsecond explicit solvent molecular dynamics simulations are carried out for several mutants of Staphylococcal nuclease using both fixed charge and polarizable force fields. While the ionization of Asp 66, Glu 66, and Lys 125 lead to enhanced structural fluctuations and partial unfolding of adjacent α-helical...
