Secondary structure dependence on simulation techniques and force field parameters: from disordered to ordered proteins. Biophysical Reviews, 13 (6), 1173-1178.https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12846/1505Computer simulations are used for identifying the secondary structure properties of ordered and disordered proteins. However, our recent studies showed that the chosen computer simulation protocol, simulation technique, and force feld parameter set for a disordered protein impact its predicted secondary structure properties. Here, we compare the outcome from computer simulations utilizing molecular dynamics simulations without parallel tempering techniques using various force feld parameter sets and temperature-replica exchange molecular dynamics simulations both for a model ordered and two model disordered proteins. Specifcally, the model ordered protein is the third IgG-binding domain of Protein G (GB3) and the two model disordered proteins are amyloid-?(1–40) and ?-synuclein in water. Our fndings clearly indicate that temperaturereplica exchange molecular dynamics simulations and molecular dynamics simulations without special sampling techniques yield similar results for the ordered GB3 protein whereas such agreement between simulation techniques using various force feld parameter sets could not be obtained for disordered proteins. These fndings clearly indicate that a consensus has to be reached via further development in computer simulation technique and force feld parameter sets for disordered proteins.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDisordered proteinsOrdered proteinsForce feld parametersSimulation techniquesSimulation protocolsSecondary structure dependence on simulation techniques and force field parameters: from disordered to ordered proteinsArticle13610.1007/s12551-021-00850-511731178WOS:0010742814000532-s2.0-85117029220
