System-specific parameter optimization for non-polarizable and polarizable force fields

Xiaojuan Hu, Kazi S. Amin, Markus Schneider +3

The accuracy of classical force fields (FFs) has been shown to be limited for the simulation of cation-protein systems despite their importance in understanding the processes of li…

Better force fields start with better data -- A data set of cation dipeptide interactions

Xiaojuan Hu, Maja-Olivia Lenz-Himmer, Carsten Baldauf

We present a data set from a first-principles study of amino-methylated and acetylated (capped) dipeptides of the 20 proteinogenic amino acids - including alternative possible side…

The Conformational Space of a Flexible Amino Acid at Metallic Surfaces

Dmitrii Maksimov, Carsten Baldauf, Mariana Rossi

In interfaces between inorganic and biological materials relevant for technological applications, the general challenge of structure determination is exacerbated by the high flexib…

Relative energetics of acetyl-histidine protomers with and without Zn2+ and a benchmark of energy methods

Markus Schneider, Carsten Baldauf

We studied acetylhistidine (AcH), bare or microsolvated with a zinc cation by simulations in isolation. First, a global search for minima of the potential energy surface combining…

Kinetically Trapped Liquid-State Conformers of a Sodiated Model Peptide Observed in the Gas Phase

Markus Schneider, Chiara Masellis, Thomas Rizzo +1

We investigate the peptide AcPheAla5LysH+, a model system for studying helix formation in the gas phase, in order to fully understand the forces that stabilize the helical structur…

First-principles data set of 45,892 isolated and cation-coordinated conformers of 20 proteinogenic amino acids

Matti Ropo, Markus Schneider, Carsten Baldauf +1

We present a structural data set of the 20 proteinogenic amino acids and their amino-methylated and acetylated (capped) dipeptides. Different protonation states of the backbone (un…
