Ion selectivity and permeation rates are key quantities measured in experiments. We show that these quantities can be directly measured in molecular dynamics simulations by establishing a ... Molecular Anatomy of Synaptic Vesicles Most plasmalemmal proteins organize in submicrometer-sized clusters whose architecture and dynamics are still enigmatic. With syntaxin 1 as an example, we applied a combination of far-field optical nanoscopy, biochemistry, fluorescence recovery after photobleaching ... Optimized Scaling for GROMACS Simulations of big molecular dynamics systems can easily occupy a compute cluster for weeks or even months. Continuous efforts are being made to ensure that our computer power is used most efficiently. This includes network fine-tuning and code optimization to reach the ... Constant pH Molecular Dynamics Simulations Typically, in a molecular dynamics simulation, the protonation states of ionizable groups of a protein are set in the beginning of the simulation. This is not always an obvious task, in particular for histidine, as its pKa is close to the physiological pH. In contrast, ... Flexible Axis Enforced Rotation We describe a novel method to enforce rotation of a protein subunit in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Our »flexible axis« approach allows flexible adaptions of both the rotating subunit as well as the rotation axis during the simulation. For the example of ...
