    Abstract Recent advances in computational power and algorithms have enabled molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to reach greater time scales. However, for observing conformational transitions associated with biomolecular processes, MD simulations still have limitations. Several enhanced sampling techniques seek to address this challenge, including the weighted ensemble (WE) method, which samples transitions between metastable states using many weighted trajectories to estimate kinetic rate constants. However, initial sampling of the potential energy surface has a significant impact on the performance of WE, i.e., convergence and efficiency. We therefore introduce deep-learned kinetic modeling approaches that extract statistically relevant information from short MD trajectories to provide a well-sampled initial state distribution for WE simulations. This hybrid approach overcomes any statistical bias to the system, as it runs short unbiased MD trajectories and identifies meaningful metastable states of the system. It is shown to provide a more refined free energy landscape closer to the steady state that could efficiently sample kinetic properties such as rate constants.

    Abstract COVID19 has changed life for people worldwide. Despite lockdowns globally, computational research has pressed on, working remotely and collaborating virtually on research questions in COVID19 and the virus it is caused by, SARS-CoV-2. Molecular simulations can help to characterize the function of viral and host proteins and have the potential to contribute to the search for vaccines and treatments. Changes in the modus operandi of research groups include broader adoption of the use of preprint servers, earlier and more open sharing of methods, models, and data, the use of social media to rapidly disseminate information, online seminars, and cloud-based virtual collaboration. Research funders and computing providers worldwide recognized the need to provide rapid and significant access to computational architectures. In this review, we discuss how the interplay of all of these factors is influencing the impact - both potential and realized - of biomolecular simulations in the fight against SARS-CoV-2.

    Abstract 2'-Deoxy-ATP (dATP), a naturally occurring near analog of ATP, is a well-documented myosin activator that has been shown to increase contractile force, improve pump function, and enhance lusitropy in the heart. Calcium transients in cardiomyocytes with elevated levels of dATP show faster calcium decay compared with cardiomyocytes with basal levels of dATP, but the mechanisms behind this are unknown. Here, we design and utilize a multiscale computational modeling framework to test the hypothesis that dATP acts on the sarcoendoplasmic reticulum calcium-ATPase (SERCA) pump to accelerate calcium re-uptake into the sarcoplasmic reticulum during cardiac relaxation.

    Abstract The discovery of new drugs is a time consuming and expensive process. Methods such as virtual screening, which can filter out ineffective compounds from drug libraries prior to expensive experimental study, have become popular research topics. As the computational drug discovery community has grown, in order to benchmark the various advances in methodology, organizations such as the Drug Design Data Resource have begun hosting blinded grand challenges seeking to identify the best methods for ligand pose-prediction, ligand affinity ranking, and free energy calculations. Such open challenges offer a unique opportunity for researchers to partner with junior students (e.g., high school and undergraduate) to validate basic yet fundamental hypotheses considered to be uninteresting to domain experts. Here, we, a group of high school-aged students and their mentors, present the results of our participation in Grand Challenge 4 where we predicted ligand affinity rankings for the Cathepsin S protease, an important protein target for autoimmune diseases. To investigate the effect of incorporating receptor dynamics on ligand affinity rankings, we employed the Relaxed Complex Scheme, a molecular docking method paired with molecular dynamics-generated receptor conformations. We found that Cathepsin S is a difficult target for molecular docking and we explore some advanced methods such as distance-restrained docking to try to improve the correlation with experiments. This project has exemplified the capabilities of high school students when supported with a rigorous curriculum, and demonstrates the value of community-driven competitions for beginners in computational drug discovery.

    Abstract Simulations can provide detailed insight into the molecular processes involved in drug action, such as protein-ligand binding, and can therefore be a valuable tool for drug design and development. Processes with a large range of length and timescales may be involved, and understanding these different scales typically requires different types of simulation methodology. Ideally, simulations should be able to connect across scales, to analyze and predict how changes at one scale can influence another. Multiscale simulation methods, which combine different levels of treatment, are an emerging frontier with great potential in this area. Here we review multiscale frameworks of various types, and selected applications to biomolecular systems with a focus on drug-ligand binding.
