1 Developing Monovalent Ion Parameters for the Optimal Point Charge (OPC) Water Model John Dood Hope College

2 What are MD simulations? Model and predict the structure and dynamics of large macromolecules. Force field equation implemented in AMBER + V = + n atoms ε ij i<j n bonds b i r i r i,eq i n dihedral i n 2 + i n angles a i θ i θ i,eq n i,max V i,n/2[1 + cos nφ i γ i,n ] R min,ij r ij 12 2 R min,ij r ij 6 + n atoms i<j 2 q i q j 4πε 0 r ij

3 What are Water Models? 3 point Mass Charge vdw 4 point Mass vdw 5 point Mass vdw O H 1 H 2 EP 1 EP 2 Mass Charge Mass Charge Mass Charge Mass Charge Mass Charge Mass Charge Charge Charge Charge 3 point model i.e. TIP3P and SPC 4 point model i.e. TIP4P-Ew and OPC 5 point model i.e. TIP5P

4 What is OPC? Optimal point charge (OPC) Saeed Izadi, Ramu Anandakrishnan and Alexey V. Onufriev, Published 2014 Derived to reproduce quantum mechanical electrostatic potential Simulates the bulk properties of water better than other models Izadi, Anandakrishnan, Onufriev, J. Phys. Chem. Lett., 2014, 5,

5 What are ion parameters? + V = + n atoms ε ij i<j n bonds b i r i r i,eq i n dihedral i n 2 + i n angles a i θ i θ i,eq n i,max V i,n/2[1 + cos nφ i γ i,n ] R min,ij r ij 12 2 R min,ij r ij 6 + n atoms i<j 2 q i q j 4πε 0 r ij

6 What are Ion Parameters? Ions must be parameterized in order to provide coefficients for energy calculations in AMBER. E LJ = ε ij R min,ij r ij 12 2 R min,ij r ij 6 Two parameters must be created for each ion, ε and R min /2. Lennard-Jones (LJ) potential has a well depth of ε at a distance of R min. Energy ( ) Distance (R min )

7 How are Ion Parameters Developed? Most ion parameters are developed empirically. Parameters are chosen that produce the most realistic test results. In Suk Joung and Tomas E. Cheatham TIP3P, SPC, and TIP4P-Ew ion parameters Kasper P. Jenson and William L. Jorgenson SPC and TIP3P ion parameters

8 Lattice Constants (LC s) The lattice constant is the spacing between unit cells. For FCC crystals this value is twice the interionic distance.

9 Lattice Constants LE (kcal/mol) -3.40x x x x x x x x x LC (Å) -4.80x x10 7 Na + R min /2 = 1.369Å Cl R min /2 = 2.513Å LE (kcal/mol) -4.84x x x x LC (Å)

10 Hydration Free Energy Gives the energy from the interactions of the ion with water. Produced by slowly bringing the charges and Van der Waals to zero (thermodynamic integration). G Hyd = 0 1 V λ dλ λ = 0 λ = 1

11 V/ λ V/ λ Thermodynamic Integration (TI) TI is performed in two steps, charge elimination and Van der Waals (vdw) elimination Various intermediate states are produced (λ) and fit to a curve for each step The curve is integrated for each step and the two areas are added to produce a hydration free energy Charge V/ λ vdw V/ λ λ λ =91.20 kcal/mol

12 Radial Distribution Functions

13 Radial Distribution Functions Show the density of the oxygen atom in water with respect to radius from the ion The ion-oxygen distance of the first peak is characteristic for each ion 5 Frequency of O Distance (Å)
