Abstract:
An atomistically detailed picture of protein folding at interfaces can effectively be obtained by comparing interface-sensitive spectroscopic techniques to molecular simulations. Here, we present an extensive evaluation of the capability of contemporary force fields to model protein folding at air-water interfaces with a general scheme for sampling and reweighting theoretical conformational ensembles of interfacial peptides. Force field combinations of CHARMM22*/TIP3P and AMBER99SB*-ILDN/SPC/E were found to reproduce experimental observations best.
