High Throughput Molecular Dynamics and Analysis

Abstract

This tutorial provides an introduction to using high-throughput molecular dynamics to study protein-ligand interaction, as applied to the N-terminal domain of Hsp90 (heat shock protein 90).

About This Material

This is a Hands-on Tutorial from the GTN which is usable either for individual self-study, or as a teaching material in a classroom.

Questions this will address

  • How are protein-ligand systems parameterized for molecular dynamics simulation?
  • What kind of analysis can be carried out on molecular trajectories?
  • How can high-throughput MD be used to study multiple ligands?

Learning Objectives

  • Learn about force-fields and MD parameterization
  • Learn how to conduct MD simulation and analysis for a protein-ligand system
  • Understand how different molecular interactions contribute to the binding affinity of various ligands for the Hsp90 protein.
