多价离子介导的DNA吸引的分子动力学模拟

Molecular dynamics simulation of multivalent ion mediated DNA attraction

Liang Dai, Yuguang Mu, Lars Nordenskiold, Johan R. C. van der Maarel

摘要:

采用全原子分子动力学模拟研究了多价反离子腐胺(2+)、亚精胺(3+)、精胺(4+)和钴六胺(3+)存在下平行双链DNA分子间的相互作用.利用伞形采样技术得到了DNA间的相互作用势。吸引力是合理的离子桥的形成,即同时结合到两个相对的DNA分子的多价离子。离子桥的寿命很短,大约为几纳秒。

英文摘要:

All atom molecular dynamics simulations with explicit water were done to study the interaction between two parallel double-stranded DNA molecules in the presence of the multivalent counterions putrescine (2+), spermidine (3+), spermine (4+) and cobalt hexamine (3+). The inter-DNA interaction potential is obtained with the umbrella sampling technique. The attractive force is rationalized in terms of the formation of ion bridges, i.e. multivalent ions which are simultaneously bound to the two opposing DNA molecules. The lifetime of the ion bridges is short on the order of a few nanoseconds.
