Water-mediated hydrophobic interactions

D Ben-Amotz - Annual review of physical chemistry, 2016 - annualreviews.org
Hydrophobic interactions are driven by the combined influence of the direct attraction
between oily solutes and an additional water-mediated interaction whose magnitude (and …

Spectral gap optimization of order parameters for sampling complex molecular systems

Contacts between alcohols in water are random rather than hydrophobic

BM Rankin, D Ben-Amotz… - The Journal of …, 2015 - ACS Publications
Given the importance of water-mediated hydrophobic interactions in a wide range of
biological and synthetic self-assembly processes, it is remarkable that both the sign and the …

Role of water and steric constraints in the kinetics of cavity–ligand unbinding

P Tiwary, J Mondal, JA Morrone… - Proceedings of the …, 2015 - National Acad Sciences
A key factor influencing a drug's efficacy is its residence time in the binding pocket of the
host protein. Using atomistic computer simulation to predict this residence time and the …

Solvent fluctuations in hydrophobic cavity–ligand binding kinetics

P Setny, R Baron… - Proceedings of the …, 2013 - National Acad Sciences
Water plays a crucial part in virtually all protein–ligand binding processes in and out of
equilibrium. Here, we investigate the role of water in the binding kinetics of a ligand to a …

Targeted molecular dynamics calculations of free energy profiles using a nonequilibrium friction correction

S Wolf, G Stock - Journal of chemical theory and computation, 2018 - ACS Publications
