Description

The kinetic rate constants of binding were estimated for four biochemically relevant molecular systems by a method that combines Brownian dynamics simulations with more detailed molecular dynamics simulations using milestoning theory. The rate constants found using this method were in good agreement with experimentally and theoretically obtained values. We predicted the association rate of a small charged molecule toward both a charged and an uncharged sphere and verified the estimated value with Smoluchowski theory. We also calculated the kon rate constant for superoxide dismutase with its natural substrate, O2-, in a validation of a previous experiment using similar methods but with a number of important improvements. We also calculated the kon for a new system: the N-terminal domain of Troponin C with its natural substrate Ca2+. The kon calculated for both systems closely resemble experimentally obtained values. This novel multiscale approach is computationally cheaper and more parallelizable compared to other methods of similar accuracy. We anticipate that this methodology will be useful for predicting kinetic rate constants and for understanding the process of binding between a small molecule and a protein receptor.

This data contains the input files, output files, trajectories, and gathered statistics from this investigation with the intent to allow other researchers to use this data to test their own models.
