MD Data for Patterns in protein flexibility: a comparison of NMR "ensembles", MD trajectories and crystallographic B-factors

This data set comprises five zipped directories that contain the scripts and intermediate molecular dynamics (MD) results used in (initially as of April 24, 2017, updated with additional directories on December 15, 2020) a soon to be submitted paper, "Patterns in protein flexibility: a comparison of NMR 'ensembles', MD trajectories and crystallographic B-factors" written by the authors of this entry. An earlier version of this paper is available via BioRxiv, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1101/240655.

This paper explores patterns in coordinate variance and coordinate uncertainty in MD trajectories and in protein structures derived from NMR and compares coordinate variances/uncertainties with those crystallographic B-factors. The files, MD_data.zip and MD_data2.zip, each unzip to contain input files and scripts for reproducing the MD trajectories used in this paper (using DESMOND): MD_data.zip contains input files/scripts for the MD trajectories used in the preprint; MD_data2.zip contains input files/scripts for trajectories ran following publication of the preprint. The file btab_analysis_scripts.zip contains key scripts for analyzing those trajectories (following file conversion with VMD and superimposition with THESEUS) in MATLAB (this analysis assumes the presence of the FindCore Toolbox, written by David Snyder and available via the MATLAB Central File Exchange, as well as the MATLAB Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox). And the files, superimposed_MD_trajectories.zip and superimposed_MD_trajectories2.zip, each unzip to yield the trajectories (superimposed using THESEUS and in PDB multimodel file format) analyzed in the soon to be submitted paper: superimposed_MD_trajectories.zip contains trajectories reported in the preprint and superimposed_MD_trajectories2.zip contains the results of subsequent simulations.
