Dear All,
I have tried to perform simulation of this Ankyrin protein.
I found some results that i would like to share with you. Please let
me know what you think about.
1st: as Ye Yang wrote, the protein seems really stable in explicit
solvent simulation.
2nd: in implicit solvent(gb): if i perform minimization and run in the
same simulation (one .conf file) the protein rapidly unfolds in very
few picoseconds.
3rd: in implicit solvent(gb): performing minimization and run with two
different runs of namd will not affect the stability of protein. Also
using same seed between 2nd and 3rd and inside 3rd between
minimization and run.
What do you think about?
Regards,
Matteo.
