Hydro-pathy/phobicity/philicity
• One of the most commonly used properties
is the suitability of an amino acid for an
aqueous environment
• Hydropathy & Hydrophobicity
– degree to which something is “water hating” or
“water fearing”
• Hydrophilicity
– degree to which something is “water loving”
Hydrophobicity/Hydrophilicity
Tables
• Describe the likelihood that each amino
acid will be found in an aqueous
environment - one value for each amino
acid
• Commonly used tables
– Kyte-Doolittle hydropathy
– Hopp-Woods hydrophilicity
– Eisenberg et al. normalized consensus

Example Hydrophilicity Plot
This plot is for a tubulin, a soluble cytoplasmic protein.
Regions with high hydrophilicity are likely to be exposed to the
solvent (cytoplasm), while those with low hydrophilicity are
likely to be internal or interacting with other proteins.
Amphiphilicity/Amphipathicity
• A structural domain of a protein (e.g., an helix) can be present at an interface between
polar and non-polar environments
– Example: Domain of a membrane-associated
protein that anchors it to membrane
• Such a domain will ideally be hydrophilic
on one side and hydrophobic on the other
• This is termed an amphiphilic or
amphipathic sequence or domain

Molecular Dynamics: Introduction
Newton’s second law of motion
Molecular Dynamics: Introduction
We need to know
The motion of the
atoms in a molecule, x(t)
and therefore,
the potential energy, V(x)
Molecular Dynamics: Introduction
How do we describe the potential energy V(x) for a
molecule?
Potential Energy includes terms for
Bond stretching
Angle Bending
Torsional rotation

• Fourier series

– terms are included to capture appropriate
minima/maxima
– depends on substituent atoms
– e.g., ethane has three mimum-energy conformations
» n = 3, 6, 9, etc.
• depends on type of bond
Van der Waals Attraction

Common Approximations in Molecular
Models
• Rigid intramolecular degrees of freedom
– fast intramolecular motions slow down MD calculations
• Ignore hydrogen atoms
– united atom representation
• Ignore polarization
– expensive n-body effect
• Ignore electrostatics
• Treat whole molecule as one big atom
Qualitative
– maybe anisotropic
• Model vdW forces via discontinuous potentials models
• Ignore all attraction
• Model space as a lattice
– especially useful for polymer molecules
