Journal Article
Multisecond ligand dissociation dynamics from atomistic simulations
2020
Overview
Coarse-graining of fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulations is a long-standing goal in order to allow the description of processes occurring on biologically relevant timescales. For example, the prediction of pathways, rates and rate-limiting steps in protein-ligand unbinding is crucial for modern drug discovery. To achieve the enhanced sampling, we perform dissipation-corrected targeted molecular dynamics simulations, which yield free energy and friction profiles of molecular processes under consideration. Subsequently, we use these fields to perform temperature-boosted Langevin simulations which account for the desired kinetics occurring on multisecond timescales and beyond. Adopting the dissociation of solvated sodium chloride, trypsin-benzamidine and Hsp90-inhibitor protein-ligand complexes as test problems, we reproduce rates from molecular dynamics simulation and experiments within a factor of 2–20, and dissociation constants within a factor of 1–4. Analysis of friction profiles reveals that binding and unbinding dynamics are mediated by changes of the surrounding hydration shells in all investigated systems.
Protein-ligand unbinding processes are out of reach for atomistic simulations due to time-scale involved. Here the authors demonstrate an approach relying on dissipation-corrected targeted molecular dynamics that enables to provide binding and unbinding rates with a speed-up of several orders of magnitude.
