Electrostatic Potential Derived Point Charges (ESP Charges)
Can we get point charges on atoms (i.e. atomic positions) such that we can reproduce the
electrostatic potential?

Journal of Physical Chemistry, 1992, 96, 10276
Point charges are such that the electrostatic potential obtained from a quantum mechanical calculation is mimicked for the selected points

developers to the present day. First, the effective charges of the more-buried atoms are often underdetermined, so that charges for atoms insimilar environments in different molecules might vary significantly. Ineffect, there are many combinations of atomic charges that will fit theelectrostatic potential almost equally well. There are a variety of ways toovercome this problem, often involving statistical techniques based onsingular-value decomposition, but Bayly et al. (Bayly et al., 1993; Cornellet al., 1993) chose to use a hyperbolic restraint term to limit the absolutemagnitude of charges on non-hydrogen atoms. This is called RESP (forrestrained electrostatic potential fit) and weakly favors solutions withsmaller charges for buried atoms, yielding fairly consistent charge sets withlittle degradation in the quality of the fit to the electrostatic potentialoutside the molecule. As an example, the left-hand side of Fig. 2 shows thecharges determined in this way for N-methylacetamide, modeling thepeptide bond; the right-hand side of this figure is for a more complexelectrostatic model, described below.A second and more fundamental problem with the RESP procedure is
that the resulting charges depend on molecular conformation, often insignificant ways. This is a manifestation of electronic polarizability, whichcan only be described in a very averaged way if fixed atomic charges are tobe used. Any real solution to this problem must involve a more complexmodel, such as those described in section III, below. The compromisechosen for the ff94 force field was to fit charges simultaneously to severalconformations, in the hopes of achieving optimal averaged behavior.Once the charges and the stiff internal parameters for bonds and
angles were available (the latter estimated in the same way as outlinedabove), the Lennard-Jones parameters could be established primarily by

BUT what if we dont have the PDB structure?
approximate native
can MD predict the native structure?
Can MD tell us why nature chooses a specific folded structure of a protein and
how!?
Protein structure prediction
Simulation length will depends on the kinetic barrier going from the starting structure to the equilibrium/stable structure of the protein
Structure of the protein is mainly determined by the backbone structure
Rotational barriers of backbone atoms, and also side chains can determine the tertiary structure of the protein [Ramachandran Map]
limited torsional angles are only feasible due to
torsional barriers
H-bonds, solvent interaction, temperature etc. also affects the torsional values
Very large number of torsions difficult to
predict the preferred values of torsions
Rotational barriers can be several and high!

ligible role for these substances in the regu-lation of cystine stone formation.
Collectively, the AFM and bulk crystalliza-tion behavior for L-cystine suggest that L-CDMEis a viable therapeutic agent for the preventionof L-cystine kidney stones. This approach to stoneprevention uses a potentially benign crystal growthinhibitor at low concentrations rather than drugsthat rely on a chemical reaction with L-cystine(L-cystinebinding thiol drugs), increases in urinealkalinity (which are often accompanied by un-desirable side effects), or dramatic increases inurine volume (which can be unreliable owing topatient nonadherance). The reduction in massyield in the presence of inhibitors is a kinetic ef-fect that maintains a metastable supersaturatedL-cystine concentration, but from a pathologicalperspective this is a sufficient condition for pre-venting stone formation. L-cystine stone formerstypically have urinary L-cystine concentrationsranging from 250 to 1000 mg/liter (equivalentto 1 to 4 mM), which is comparable with theconcentrations we used for the AFM and bulkcrystallization studies. Therefore, L-CDME con-centrations near 2 mg/liter (

NEWS OF THE WEEK
From the Science Policy Blog
A National Academies report on how U.S. universities have managed intellectual property in the wake of the 1980 Bayh-Dole Act has concluded that things are pretty much hunky-dory but that schools may be trying too hard to cash in on discoveries. Universities instead should aim to dissemi-nate technology for the public good, which may mean passing up a more lucrative licensing deal. http://bit.ly/bayh-dole-update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is pressing for a $25 million funding boost for research that can help it evaluate new treatments better and faster. Commissioner Margaret Hamburg says such regulatory sci-ence would allow the agency to help turn the nations sizable investment in basic biomedi-cal research into vital products for those who need them. http://bit.ly/fda-research
Israels minister of education, Gideon Saar, has fi red his chief scientist for comments that questioned the tenets of evolution and global warming. Gavriel Avitals trial appoint-ment last December had been controversial from the start. http://bit.ly/sacked-adviser
The National Ignition Facility, the highest energy laser in the world, has fi red its fi rst shot in what offi cials at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory hope will be a suc-cessful campaign to achieve ignitiona self-sustaining fusion burn that produces more energy than was pumped in to make it happen. http://bit.ly/fi rst-blast
The National Institutes of Health has launched a $60 million program that will allow a few talented young scientists to become independent investigators shortly after earning their Ph.D.provided they can get jobs with institutions willing to nominate them for the award. http://bit.ly/early-independence
The European Union has unveiled a new plan to foster innovation. Offi cials hope its emphasis on making it easier for companies to actually use the fruits of science will bridge a valley of death that slows commer-cialization. http://bit.ly/innovation-union

mine-tagged benzene as well as one from the olefi n, bringing them close enough to pair up. When they do so, they form styrene, the building block of polystyrene plastics. The reacting molecules kick the bromine out into solution and send the palladium on its way to orchestrate another hookup. In the late 1970s, Japanese-born Negishi, who spent the bulk of his career at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, and Suzuki, of Hok-kaido University in Sapporo, Japan, modi-fi ed the approach, adding different tagging atoms as well as metals to tailor the reaction to make other organic compounds.
Today, the three approaches are col-lectively known in chemistry parlance as palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reac-tions, and they continue to grow more popu-lar. Of all methodologies developed over the past 50 years, it is safe to say that palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling methodologies have had the biggest impact on how organic compounds are made, says Eric Jacobsen, an organic chemist at Harvard University. Cross-coupling methods are now used in all facets of organic synthesis, but nowhere more so than in the pharmaceutical industry, where they are used on a daily basis by nearly every practicing medicinal chemist.
As a result, Jacobsen and other chemists say they were not surprised by the award. It was just a matter of time for this chemistry to be recognized, says Joseph Francisco, a chemist at Purdue University and the pres-ident of the American Chemical Society. Jacobsen says the Nobel Committee could have also chosen any of a few other cross-coupling pioneers, such as Barry Trost of Stanford University. But Nobel rules limit the committee to picking no more than three recipients. I think they got it right, says Jeremy Berg, who heads the National Institute of General Medical Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland.
For Negishi in particular, the prize is a dream come true. After immigrating to the United States from Japan, Negishi says he had the opportunity to interact with several Nobel Laureates while studying at the Uni-versity of Pennsylvania. I began dreaming about this prize half a century ago, Negishi says. At a press conference televised in Japan, Suzuki said he hopes his work will have a sim-ilar effect on the next generation. Japan has no natural resources. Knowledge is all weve got, Suzuki says.

relatively simple calculations involved in determining how neighboring atoms in a protein interact. By speeding computa-tions, Shaw says, Anton has run all-atom simulations 100 times longer than general purpose supercomputers can. In the current study, for example, Shaw and his colleagues were able to track 13,564 atoms, compris-ing a relatively small protein and surround-ing water molecules, long enough to see the protein fold and unfold repeatedly.
Like all supercomputers, the Anton used in the current study still has its limits and cant run such lengthy simulations of very large
proteins. But Shaw says he and his colleagues are already making progress on that. In addition to build-ing 11 supercomputers incorporating 512 custom-designed computer chip cores, or nodesShaw
donated one to the National Resource for Biomedical Supercomputing in Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaShaws team has built a 1024-node machine and one with 2048 nodes. The larger machines, he notes, are more effi cient tracking the motions of larger proteins. More-over, Shaw says his team is already building successors to Anton, using the next genera-tion of chip technology to burn through cal-culations signifi cantly faster. And Shaw says hes happy to be back in the thick of a knotty intellectual challenge: I love this. Its just the most fun Ive ever had. Its very satisfying.

Custom job. By speeding cal-culations, this Anton super-computer can run all-atom simulations (inset) 100 times longer than can general pur-pose supercomputers.
