Significance of proteins
Proteins are basic building blocks of life
Define tissues, organs, cells
Provide a variety of functions and properties, such as mechanical stability (strength), elasticity, catalytic activity (enzyme), electrochemical properties, optical properties, energy conversion
Molecular simulation is an important tool in the analysis of protein structures and protein materials
Goal here: To train you in the fundamentals of modeling techniques for proteins, to enable you to carry out protein simulations
Explain the significance of proteins (application)

Human body: Composed of diverse array of protein materials
Eye’s cornea (collagen material)
Skin (complex composite of collagen, elastin)
Cells (complex material/system based on proteins)
Muscle tissue (motor proteins)
Nerve cells

How protein materials are made – the genetic code
Proteins: Encoded by DNA (three “letters”), utilize 20 basic building blocks (amino acids) to form polypeptides
Polypeptides arrange in complex folded 3D structures with specific properties1D structure transforms into complex 3D folded configuration
ACGT
Four letter code “DNA”
Combinationof 3 DNA letters equals a amino acid

Chemical structure
• Covalent bonds (C-C, C-O, C-H, C-N..)• Electrostatic interactions (charged amino acid side chains)• H-bonds (e.g. between H and O)• vdW interactions (uncharged parts of molecules)
Presence of various chemical bonds:
14
Concept: split energy contributions
Covalent bond described as
1. Bond stretching part (energy penalty for bond stretching)2. Bending part (energy penalty for bending three atoms)3. Rotation part (energy penalty for bond rotation, N ≥ 4)

The need for atom typing
Limited transferability of potential expressions: Must use different potential for different chemistry
Different chemistry is captured in different “tags” for atoms: Element type is expanded by additional information on particular chemical state
Tags specify if a C-atom is in sp3, sp2, sp or in aromatic state (that is, to capture resonance effects)
Example atom tags: CA, C_1, C_2, C_3, C…, HN, HO, HC, …

How to make sense of these results?
A few fundamental properties of bonds
Bonds have a “bond energy” (energy barrier to break)
Arrhenius relationship gives probability for energy barrier to be overcome, given a temperature
All bonds vibrate at frequency ω

I: All HBs are intact
II: Rupture of 3 HBs – simultaneously; within τ ≈ 20 ps
III: Rest of the AH relaxes – slower deformation…
