Small Molecule Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Inquiry

Lipids, monosaccharides, second messengers, other natural products and metabolites, pharmaceuticals, and other foreign compounds are examples of small molecules, which are low molecular weight molecules. Compared to huge molecules like proteins, they are distinct. Small molecules are major functional players in biology and play important roles in practically every element of life. In the study of tiny molecules, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is one of the most important techniques.

Alfa Chemistry offers its customers world-class small molecule MD simulation services. For applications in drug discovery, MD simulation has been widely used. Applications being researched include lipid membrane permeability, protein-ligand binding, protein-protein interactions, and partition coefficients. The benefits of MD simulations are the ability to calculate atomic details and thermodynamic properties, such as free energy of binding.

GROMACS offers a wide range of capabilities in molecular dynamics simulation, which we usually use to simulate organic small molecules. We need to generate the topology for the molecule and then the generated file will be used for the simulation. The steps for simulating organic small molecules using GROMACS are as follows.

  • Obtain the molecular structure: We will use different software (e.g. Marvin Sketch) to draw the molecule, which can also be downloaded from Pubchem (if available). We need the structure in mol2 format to generate the topology. If a PDB file is available, then we can use Pymol for file conversion.
  • Preparing the molecule: If I downloaded the molecule in SDF format from Pubchem, we will use Avogadro to convert it to mol2 format.
  • Generate molecular topology: Depending on the force field chosen by the customer, there are different programs available for generating the topology of the molecule.
  • Defining the box: Now, we need to define a box around the molecule.
  • Dissolve the molecule: You may wish to dissolve your molecule in a solvent mixture. We will follow specific steps for solubilization using a solvent mixture. The added solvent molecules will be reflected in the topology file (asc.top).
  • Energy Minimization: Now, run energy minimization using mdrun.
  • Running the MD simulation: We will run the MD simulation for 30 ns or 50/60 ns. 30 ns should be sufficient, but if the RMSD is not a straight line, increase the duration of the MD run.
