Protein Dynamics in Living Cells01:19

Protein Dynamics in Living Cells

2.5K
Different fluorescence-based techniques are used to study the protein dynamics in living cells. These techniques include FRAP, FRET, and PET.
Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...

Distribution of Molecular Speeds01:27

Distribution of Molecular Speeds

4.5K
The motion of molecules in a gas is random in magnitude and direction for individual molecules, but a gas of many molecules has a predictable distribution of molecular speeds. This predictable distribution of molecular speeds is known as the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. The distribution of molecular speeds in liquids is comparable to that of gases but not identical and can help to understand the phenomenon of the boiling and vapor pressure of a liquid. Consider that a molecule requires a...

Protein Diffusion in the Membrane01:24

Protein Diffusion in the Membrane

5.2K
Proteins show rotational as well as lateral diffusion across the membrane. The lateral diffusion of proteins was confirmed through the cell fusion experiment where mouse and human cells were fused, resulting in hybrid cells. When the human and mouse cells fused, the specific membrane proteins on human and mouse cells were marked with the red and green-fluorescent markers, respectively. Initially, the red and green fluorescence was located on the respective hemisphere of the cell. As time...

Behavior of Gas Molecules: Molecular Diffusion, Mean Free Path, and Effusion

30.5K
Although gaseous molecules travel at tremendous speeds (hundreds of meters per second), they collide with other gaseous molecules and travel in many different directions before reaching the desired target. At room temperature, a gaseous molecule will experience billions of collisions per second. The mean free path is the average distance a molecule travels between collisions. The mean free path increases with decreasing pressure; in general, the mean free path for a gaseous molecule will be...

Area of Science:

  • Computational chemistry
  • Molecular dynamics
  • Theoretical physics

Background:

  • Classical Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations are limited to microsecond timescales, hindering the study of slow molecular phenomena.
  • Biased and accelerated simulations explore conformational space rapidly but lose crucial dynamic information.
  • Recovering dynamics from these simulations remains a significant challenge in computational science.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel method for extracting dynamical properties from biased/accelerated simulations.
  • To extend Diffusion Theory (DT) by incorporating rotational contributions and a unified mobility tensor approximation.
  • To demonstrate the practical application of the extended Diffusion Theory (EDT) in recovering molecular dynamics.

Main Methods:

  • The Smoluchowski equation within Diffusion Theory (DT) was employed.
  • DT was extended (EDT) to include mixed rotation-translation and rotation-rotation terms in mobility tensors.
  • A unified and regularized Rotne-Prager-Yamakawa approximation was utilized for mobility tensors.
  • The method was applied to a peptide in explicit water using Replica Exchange Molecular Dynamics (REMD) data.

Main Results:

  • The extended Diffusion Theory (EDT) successfully recovered dynamical properties (time correlation functions) from REMD simulations.
  • EDT results favorably compared with those from standard MD simulations.
  • The method demonstrated its ability to extract long-time dynamics from simulations that typically lose this information.

Conclusions:

  • Extended Diffusion Theory (EDT) provides a robust solution for recovering long-time molecular dynamics from biased/accelerated simulations.
  • EDT is a valuable tool for systems where direct MD simulations are computationally infeasible due to timescale limitations.
  • This approach bridges the gap between conformational sampling and accurate dynamic property extraction.
