Hemochromatosis>>Task 8: Molecular dynamics simulations


Short task description

Detailed description: Molecular dynamics simulations

In this task we picked 3 mutations from the previous tasks and performed molecular dynamics simulations for them (using AGroS). The evaluation of these simulations will be part of task 10 though.


Protocol

A protocol with a description of the data acquisition and other scripts used for this task is available here.


Mutations

We have chosen R224W and C282S for the molecular dynamics simulations. C282S in order to see the impact of the broken disulfide bridge as well as its similarity to C282Y, one of the most common hemochromatosis mutations. R224W was chosen to further analyse this ambiguous mutation and maybe to finally clarify if it is malign or benign.


Molecular Dynamics Simulation runs:

  • Wildtype (status: finished...)
  • R224W (status: finished...)
  • C282S (status: finished...)


AGroS pipeline and intermediate PDB files

The different steps performed by AGroS:

  • Runs RepairPDB and findBreaks, additional scripts to adapt PDB files to MD reality.
  • Runs STRWater, an additional script that saves information for Structural Water Molecules in PDB file.
  • Runs SCWRL, a program employed to correctly assign side chain information to PDB structures.
  • Runs minimization in vacuum.
  • Creates water box, includes solvent (water with 0.1 [NaCl]) and neutralizes protein intrinsic charge.
  • Creates restrain files for each chain individually.
  • Runs solvent minimization with fixed Protein (backbone + sidechains).
  • Runs minimization with fixed Backbone.
  • Runs minimization with fixed Backbone (CG).
  • Runs short production NVT MD.
  • Runs short production NPT MD.
  • Runs Production MD.
