Determining accurate atomic resolution conformational ensembles of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) is extremely challenging. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations provide atomistic conformational ensembles of IDPs, but their accuracy is highly dependent on the quality of physical models, or force fields, used. Here, we demonstrate how to determine accurate atomic resolution conformational ensembles of IDPs by integrating all-atom MD simulations with experimental data from nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) with a simple, robust and fully automated maximum entropy reweighting procedure.

Degradation of hydrofluoro-olefins (HFOs) with oxidants plays a significant role in the troposphere. Thus, we have investigated detail theoretical calculations of hydroxyl radical (OH) initiated oxidation of 2-fluoropropene (CHCFCH) using M06-2X/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. Here, we have considered different possible H-abstraction and OH addition for the degradation of CHCFCH molecule.
