The molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in water is carried out for a total of 23 ps. The simulation system is a 26 A sphere centered at the active site of SOD, including 1602 atoms from SOD and 1761 water molecules. There is no gross deviation from the x-ray structure f

โฆ Synopsis
Molecular dynamics was used to study the hydration of superoxide (0 2). The Helmholtz free energy of hydration of 0, was estimated by the thermodynamic integration method. The diffusion of 0, and the water structure around 0 2 were also studied. Two water models were used in the calculations and the results were compared to experiments.

We present a statistical mechanical description of biomolecular hydration that accurately describes the hydrophobic and hydrophilic hydration of a model a-helical peptide. The local density of water molecules around a biomolecule is obtained by means of a potential-of-mean-force (PMF) expansion in t
## Abstract Comparative explicit solvent molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been performed on a complete nucleosome core particle with and without Nโterminal histone tails for more than 20 ns. Main purpose of the simulations was to study the dynamics of mobile elements such as histone Nโtermi
