Abstract

Previously, we examined the application of a molecular dynamics-based simulated annealing cycling protocol to docking peptides to proteins using two implicit-solvent models: a distance-dependent dielectric model ( ε ( r ) = 4 r ) and a version of the Generalized Born model termed GBMV. We found that rescoring structures obtained from one implicit-solvent model with the other could improve the identification of the correct docking pose. Here, we guide interested readers on how to perform a similar study, using the docking between a hexapeptide and the protein phosphatase YopH in Yersinia pestis  as an example.
