Scientific paper

Large protein assemblies, such as virus capsids, may be coarse-grained as a set of rigid domains linked by generalized (rotational and stretching) harmonic springs. We present a method to obtain the elastic parameters and overdamped dynamics for these springs from all-atom molecular dynamics simulations of one pair of domains at a time. The computed relaxation times of this pair give a consistency check for the simulation, and (using a fluctuation-dissipation relationship) we find the corrective force needed to null systematic drifts. As a first application we predict the stiffness of an HIV capsid layer and the relaxation time for its breathing mode.
