A true native protein state is realized in a water solution where proteins exhibit their dynamic properties important for the functioning. This is way we have analyzed the dynamics of α-helices inside ribosomal protein L25 from in a water solution. The dynamics of only main chain Cα-atoms have been simulated along the five independent trajectories at a total time 200ns.

In this work, we further developed a new approach for modeling the processes of the self-assembly of complex molecular nanostructures using molecular dynamics methods; in particular, using a molecular dynamics manipulator. Previously, this approach was considered using the example of the self-assembly of a phenylalanine helical nanotube. Now, a new application of the algorithm has been developed for implementing a similar molecular dynamic self-assembly into helical structures of peptide nanotubes (PNTs) based on other peptide molecules-namely diphenylalanine (FF) molecules of different chirality L-FF and D-FF.

Antibiotic-resistant strains are an emerging threat to public health. The usage of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) is one of the promising approaches to solve this problem. For the development of new AMPs, it is necessary to have reliable prediction methods.

The existing protocols of measuring the selection coefficients of loci neglect linkage effects existing between loci. This protocol is free from this limitation. The protocol inputs a set of DNA sequences at three time points, removes conserved sites, and estimates selection coefficients.
