Rational choice of molecular dynamics simulation parameters through the use of the three-dimensional autocorrelation method: application to calmodulin flexibility study.

Abstract excerpt

We examined the effects of several adjustable parameters for use in molecular dynamics simulations of proteins using both standard criteria (radius of gyration, root mean square deviation from starting coordinates, molecular mechanics energy) and a new description of protein conformations by 3-D autocorrelation vectors (3-D ACV). We chose calmodulin (CaM) as a protein model and analysed 23 simulations using...
