Structural and Dynamical Characterization of Nucleic Acid Water and Ion Binding Sites
Résumé
Recent methodological developments led to longer and more accurate molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In parallel, methods have been designed with the purpose of characterizing water and ion binding features. Here, we give an outline of some of the methods we used in order to extract structural and dynamical information concerning the first water and ion coordination shell, from MD simulations conducted on RNA and DNA structures. Coordinates for the water and ion binding sites located in the first coordination shell of r(G=C), d(G=C), r(A-U), and d(A-T) base-pairs are provided, along with calculated "pseudo" thermal factors.
