The mechanism of enzymatic peptide hydrolysis in matrix metalloproteinase‐2 (MMP‐2) was studied at atomic resolution through quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) simulations. An all‐atom three‐dimensional molecular model was constructed on the basis of a crystal structure from the Protein Data Bank (ID: 1QIB), and the oligopeptide Ace‐Gln‐Gly~Ile‐Ala‐Gly‐Nme was considered as the substrate. Two QM/MM software packages and several computational protocols were employed to calculate QM/MM energy profiles for a four‐step mechanism involving an initial nucleophilic attack followed by hydrogen bond rearrangement, proton transfer, and C? N bond cleavage. These QM/MM calculations consistently yield rather low overall barriers for the chemical steps, in the range of 5–10 kcal/mol, for diverse QM treatments (PBE0, B3LYP, and BB1K density functionals as well as local coupled cluster treatments) and two MM force fields (CHARMM and AMBER). It, thus, seems likely that product release is the rate‐limiting step in MMP‐2 catalysis. This is supported by an exploration of various release channels through QM/MM reaction path calculations and steered molecular dynamics simulations. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

We present an extensible interface between the AMBER molecular dynamics (MD) software package and electronic structure software packages for quantum mechanical (QM) and mixed QM and classical molecular mechanical (MM) MD simulations within both mechanical and electronic embedding schemes. With this interface, ab initio wave function theory and density functional theory methods, as available in the supported electronic structure software packages, become available for QM/MM MD simulations with AMBER. The interface has been written in a modular fashion that allows straight forward extensions to support additional QM software packages and can easily be ported to other MD software. Data exchange between the MD and QM software is implemented by means of files and system calls or the message passing interface standard. Based on extensive tests, default settings for the supported QM packages are provided such that energy is conserved for typical QM/MM MD simulations in the microcanonical ensemble. Results for the free energy of binding of calcium ions to aspartate in aqueous solution comparing semiempirical and density functional Hamiltonians are shown to demonstrate features of this interface. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

The implementation and validation of the adaptive buffered force (AdBF) quantum‐mechanics/molecular‐mechanics (QM/MM) method in two popular packages, CP2K and AMBER are presented. The implementations build on the existing QM/MM functionality in each code, extending it to allow for redefinition of the QM and MM regions during the simulation and reducing QM‐MM interface errors by discarding forces near the boundary according to the buffered force‐mixing approach. New adaptive thermostats, needed by force‐mixing methods, are also implemented. Different variants of the method are benchmarked by simulating the structure of bulk water, water autoprotolysis in the presence of zinc and dimethyl‐phosphate hydrolysis using various semiempirical Hamiltonians and density functional theory as the QM model. It is shown that with suitable parameters, based on force convergence tests, the AdBF QM/MM scheme can provide an accurate approximation of the structure in the dynamical QM region matching the corresponding fully QM simulations, as well as reproducing the correct energetics in all cases. Adaptive unbuffered force‐mixing and adaptive conventional QM/MM methods also provide reasonable results for some systems, but are more likely to suffer from instabilities and inaccuracies. © 2015 The Authors.

A massively parallel program for quantum mechanical‐molecular mechanical (QM/MM) molecular dynamics simulation, called Platypus (PLATform for dYnamic Protein Unified Simulation), was developed to elucidate protein functions. The speedup and the parallelization ratio of Platypus in the QM and QM/MM calculations were assessed for a bacteriochlorophyll dimer in the photosynthetic reaction center (DIMER) on the K computer, a massively parallel computer achieving 10 PetaFLOPs with 705,024 cores. Platypus exhibited the increase in speedup up to 20,000 core processors at the HF/cc‐pVDZ and B3LYP/cc‐pVDZ, and up to 10,000 core processors by the CASCI(16,16)/6‐31G** calculations. We also performed excited QM/MM‐MD simulations on the chromophore of Sirius (SIRIUS) in water. Sirius is a pH‐insensitive and photo‐stable ultramarine fluorescent protein. Platypus accelerated on‐the‐fly excited‐state QM/MM‐MD simulations for SIRIUS in water, using over 4000 core processors. In addition, it also succeeded in 50‐ps (200,000‐step) on‐the‐fly excited‐state QM/MM‐MD simulations for the SIRIUS in water. © 2016 The Authors.

The Dynamo module library has been developed for the simulation of molecular systems using hybrid quantum mechanical (QM) and molecular mechanical (MM) potentials. Dynamo is not a program package but is a library of Fortran 90 modules that can be employed by those interested in writing their own programs for performing molecular simulations. The library supports a range of different types of molecular calculation including geometry optimizations, reaction‐path determinations and molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations. This article outlines the general structure and capabilities of the library and describes in detail Dynamo's semiempirical QM/MM hybrid potential. Results are presented to indicate three particular aspects of this implementation—the handling of long‐range nonbonding interactions, the nature of the boundary between the quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical atoms and how to perform path‐integral hybrid‐potential molecular dynamics simulations. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The quantum chemistry polarizable force field program (QuanPol) is implemented to perform combined quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical (QM/MM) calculations with induced dipole polarizable force fields and induced surface charge continuum solvation models. The QM methods include Hartree–Fock method, density functional theory method (DFT), generalized valence bond theory method, multiconfiguration self‐consistent field method, Møller–Plesset perturbation theory method, and time‐dependent DFT method. The induced dipoles of the MM atoms and the induced surface charges of the continuum solvation model are self‐consistently and variationally determined together with the QM wavefunction. The MM force field methods can be user specified, or a standard force field such as MMFF94, Chemistry at Harvard Molecular Mechanics (CHARMM), Assisted Model Building with Energy Refinement (AMBER), and Optimized Potentials for Liquid Simulations‐All Atom (OPLS‐AA). Analytic gradients for all of these methods are implemented so geometry optimization and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation can be performed. MD free energy perturbation and umbrella sampling methods are also implemented. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

This article describes the software suite GROMACS (Groningen MAchine for Chemical Simulation) that was developed at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, in the early 1990s. The software, written in ANSI C, originates from a parallel hardware project, and is well suited for parallelization on processor clusters. By careful optimization of neighbor searching and of inner loop performance, GROMACS is a very fast program for molecular dynamics simulation. It does not have a force field of its own, but is compatible with GROMOS, OPLS, AMBER, and ENCAD force fields. In addition, it can handle polarizable shell models and flexible constraints. The program is versatile, as force routines can be added by the user, tabulated functions can be specified, and analyses can be easily customized. Nonequilibrium dynamics and free energy determinations are incorporated. Interfaces with popular quantum-chemical packages (MOPAC, GAMES-UK, GAUSSIAN) are provided to perform mixed MM/QM simulations. The package includes about 100 utility and analysis programs. GROMACS is in the public domain and distributed (with source code and documentation) under the GNU General Public License. It is maintained by a group of developers from the Universities of Groningen, Uppsala, and Stockholm, and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz.

Conventional combined quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) methods lack explicit treatment of Pauli repulsions between the quantum‐mechanical and molecular‐mechanical subsystems. Instead, classical Lennard‐Jones (LJ) potentials between QM and MM nuclei are used to model electronic Pauli repulsion and long‐range London dispersion, despite the fact that the latter two are inherently of quantum nature. Use of the simple LJ potential in QM/MM methods can reproduce minimal geometries and energies of many molecular clusters reasonably well, as compared to full QM calculations. However, we show here that the LJ potential cannot correctly describe subtle details of the electron density of the QM subsystem because of the neglect of Pauli repulsions between the QM and MM subsystems. The inaccurate electron density subsequently affects the calculation of electronic and magnetic properties of the QM subsystem. To explicitly consider Pauli interactions with QM/MM methods, we propose a method to use empirical effective potentials on the MM atoms. The test case of the binding energy and magnetic properties of a water dimer shows promising results for the general application of effective potentials to mimic Pauli repulsions in QM/MM calculations. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

The PUPIL system is a combination of software and protocols for the systematic linkage and interoperation of molecular dynamics and quantum mechanics codes to perform QM/MD (sometimes called QM/MM) calculations. The Gaussian03 and Amber packages were added to the PUPIL suite recently. However, efficient parallel QM codes are critical because calculation of the QM forces is the overwhelming majority of the computational load. Here we report details of incorporation of the deMon2k density functional suite as a new parallel QM code. An additional motivation is to add a highly optimized, purely DFT code. We illustrate with a demonstration study of the influence of perchlorate as a dopant ion of the poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) conducting polymer in explicit acetonitrile solvent using Amber and deMon2k. We discuss unanticipated requirements for use of a scheme for semi‐empirical correction of Kohn‐Sham eigenvalues to give physically meaningful one‐electron gap energies. We provide comparison of both geometric parameters and electronic properties for nondoped and doped systems. We also present results comparing deMon2k and Gaussian03 calculation of forces for a short sequence of steps. We discuss briefly some difficult problems of quantum zone SCF convergence for the anionically doped system. The difficulties seem to be caused by well‐know deficiencies in simple approximate exchange‐correlation functionals. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem, 2010 相似文献

Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics Modeling of Enzymatic Processes: Caveats and Breakthroughs 下载免费PDF全文

Nature has developed large groups of enzymatic catalysts with the aim to transfer substrates into useful products, which enables biosystems to perform all their natural functions. As such, all biochemical processes in our body (we drink, we eat, we breath, we sleep, etc.) are governed by enzymes. One of the problems associated with research on biocatalysts is that they react so fast that details of their reaction mechanisms cannot be obtained with experimental work. In recent years, major advances in computational hardware and software have been made and now large (bio)chemical systems can be studied using accurate computational techniques. One such technique is the quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) technique, which has gained major momentum in recent years. Unfortunately, it is not a black‐box method that is easily applied, but requires careful set‐up procedures. In this work we give an overview on the technical difficulties and caveats of QM/MM and discuss work‐protocols developed in our groups for running successful QM/MM calculations. 相似文献

The approximate density‐functional tight‐binding theory method DFTB3 has been implemented in the quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) framework of the Gromacs molecular simulation package. We show that the efficient smooth particle–mesh Ewald implementation of Gromacs extends to the calculation of QM/MM electrostatic interactions. Further, we make use of the various free‐energy functionalities provided by Gromacs and the PLUMED plugin. We exploit the versatility and performance of the current framework in three typical applications of QM/MM methods to solve biophysical problems: (i) ultrafast proton transfer in malonaldehyde, (ii) conformation of the alanine dipeptide, and (iii) electron‐induced repair of a DNA lesion. Also discussed is the further development of the framework, regarding mostly the options for parallelization. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

CPMD/GULP QM/MM interface for modeling periodic solids: Implementation and its application in the study of Y‐zeolite supported Rhn clusters 下载免费PDF全文
We report here the development of hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) interface between the plane‐wave density functional theory based CPMD code and the empirical force‐field based GULP code for modeling periodic solids and surfaces. The hybrid QM/MM interface is based on the electrostatic coupling between QM and MM regions. The interface is designed for carrying out full relaxation of all the QM and MM atoms during geometry optimizations and molecular dynamics simulations, including the boundary atoms. Both Born–Oppenheimer and Car–Parrinello molecular dynamics schemes are enabled for the QM part during the QM/MM calculations. This interface has the advantage of parallelization of both the programs such that the QM and MM force evaluations can be carried out in parallel to model large systems. The interface program is first validated for total energy conservation and parallel scaling performance is benchmarked. Oxygen vacancy in α‐cristobalite is then studied in detail and the results are compared with a fully QM calculation and experimental data. Subsequently, we use our implementation to investigate the structure of rhodium cluster (Rhn; n = 2 to 6) formed from Rh(C2H4)2 complex adsorbed within a cavity of Y‐zeolite in a reducible atmosphere of H2 gas. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Combined ab initio quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical calculations have been widely used for modeling chemical reactions in complex systems such as enzymes, with most applications being based on the determination of a minimum energy path connecting the reactant through the transition state to the product in the enzyme environment. However, statistical mechanics sampling and reaction dynamics calculations with a combined ab initio quantum mechanical (QM) and molecular mechanical (MM) potential are still not feasible because of the computational costs associated mainly with the ab initio quantum mechanical calculations for the QM subsystem. To address this issue, a reaction path potential energy surface is developed here for statistical mechanics and dynamics simulation of chemical reactions in enzymes and other complex systems. The reaction path potential follows the ideas from the reaction path Hamiltonian of Miller, Handy and Adams for gas phase chemical reactions but is designed specifically for large systems that are described with combined ab initio quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical methods. The reaction path potential is an analytical energy expression of the combined quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical potential energy along the minimum energy path. An expansion around the minimum energy path is made in both the nuclear and the electronic degrees of freedom for the QM subsystem internal energy, while the energy of the subsystem described with MM remains unchanged from that in the combined quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical expression and the electrostatic interaction between the QM and MM subsystems is described as the interaction of the MM charges with the QM charges. The QM charges are polarizable in response to the changes in both the MM and the QM degrees of freedom through a new response kernel developed in the present work. The input data for constructing the reaction path potential are energies, vibrational frequencies, and electron density response properties of the QM subsystem along the minimum energy path, all of which can be obtained from the combined quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical calculations. Once constructed, it costs much less for its evaluation. Thus, the reaction path potential provides a potential energy surface for rigorous statistical mechanics and reaction dynamics calculations of complex systems. As an example, the method is applied to the statistical mechanical calculations for the potential of mean force of the chemical reaction in triosephosphate isomerase. 相似文献

The ONIOM method, developed in the group of Keiji Morokuma, is one of the most successful examples of quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) treatments, and of multilayer methods in general. Its implementation in the Gaussian program package is in particular widely used. This implementation has access to the wide variety of QM methods available in Gaussian, but is limited to only three specific force fields. The current article presents the GARLEEK interface, which expands the availability of molecular mechanics methods to the wide variety of force fields available in MM packages. The focus is in the simple installation and use. Two examples of the performance of the interface with selected systems are provided.

Methodology is discussed for mixed ab initio quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics modeling of systems where the quantum mechanics (QM) and molecular mechanics (MM) regions are within the same molecule. The ab initio QM calculations are at the restricted Hartree–Fock level using the pseudospectral method of the Jaguar program while the MM part is treated with the OPLS force fields implemented in the IMPACT program. The interface between the QM and MM regions, in particular, is elaborated upon, as it is dealt with by “breaking” bonds at the boundaries and using Boys-localized orbitals found from model molecules in place of the bonds. These orbitals are kept frozen during QM calculations. Results from tests of the method to find relative conformational energies and geometries of alanine dipeptides and alanine tetrapeptides are presented along with comparisons to pure QM and pure MM calculations. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
