Molecular dynamics simulations of enzymes with enough explicit waters of solvation to realistically account for solute-solvent interactions can burden the computational resources required to perform the simulation by more than two orders of magnitude. Since enzyme simulations even with an implicit solvation model can be imposing for a supercomputer, it is important to assess the suitability of different continuum dielectric models for protein simulations. A series of 100-picosecond molecular dynamics simulations were performed on the X-ray crystal structure of the protein crambin to examine how well computed structures, obtained using seven continuum dielectric and two hydrogen atom models, agreed with the X-ray structure. The best level of agreement between computed and experimental structures was obtained using a constant dielectric of 2 and the all-hydrogen model. Continuum dielectric models of 1, 1r, and 2r also led to computed structures in reasonably good agreement with the X-ray structure. In all cases, the all-hydrogen model gave better agreement than the united atom model, although, in one case, the difference was not significant. Dielectric models of 4, 80, and 4r with either hydrogen model yielded significantly poorer fits. It is especially noteworthy that the observed trends did not semiquantitatively converge until about 50 picoseconds into the simulations, suggesting that validation studies for protein calculations based on energy minimizations or short simulations should be viewed with caution. |
