Absolute FKBP binding affinities obtained via non-equilibrium unbinding simulations

We compute absolute binding affinities for two ligands bound to the FKBP protein using non-equilibrium unbinding simulations. The methodology is straight-forward, requiring little or no modification to many modern molecular simulation packages. The approach makes use of a physical pathway, eliminating the need for complicated alchemical decoupling schemes. Results of this study are promising. For the ligands studied here the binding affinities are typically estimated within less than 4.0 kJ/mol of the target values; and the target values are within less than 1.0 kJ/mol of experiment. These results suggest that non-equilibrium simulation could provide a simple and robust means to estimate protein-ligand binding affinities.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures (no necessary color).

Well-defined silica-supported olefin metathesis catalysts

Two triethoxysilyl-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene ligands have been synthesized and used to prepare the corresponding second-generation ruthenium olefin metathesis catalysts. These complexes were then grafted onto silica gel, and the resulting materials were efficient heterogeneous catalysts for a number of metathesis reactions. The solid-supported catalysts were shown to be recyclable over a number of reaction cycles, and no detectable levels of ruthenium were observed in reaction filtrates (ruthenium concentration of filtrate <5 ppb)

Effect of Image Forces on Polyelectrolyte Adsorption at a Charged Surface

The adsorption of flexible and highly charged polyelectrolytes onto oppositely charged planar surfaces is investigated by means of Monte Carlo simulations. The effect of image forces stemming from the dielectric discontinuity at the substrate interface is considered. The influence, at fixed polyelectrolyte volume fraction, of chain length and surface-charge density is also considered. A detailed structural study, including monomer and fluid charge distributions, is provided. It is demonstrated that image forces can considerably reduce the degree of polyelectrolyte adsorption and concomitantly inhibit the charge inversion of the substrate by polyelectrolytes.Comment: 19 pages - 7 eps figs - RevTex 4 - submitted for publicatio
