X-ray diffraction “fingerprinting” of DNA structure in solution for quantitative evaluation of molecular dynamics simulation

Abstract: Solution state x-ray diffraction fingerprinting is demonstrated as a method for experimentally assessing the accuracy of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Fourier transforms of coordinate data from MD simulations are used to produce reciprocal space ''fingerprints'' of atomic pair distance correlations that are characteristic of the ensemble and are the direct numerical analogues of experimental solution x-ray diffraction (SXD). SXD experiments and MD simulations were carried out to test the ability of expe… Show more

“…This is in agreement with previous work that compared MD simulations of nucleic acids with WAXS data (54,55). Our model of spermine association to DNA is consistent with NMR studies, which suggest either that the spermine diffuses rapidly along the DNA molecule or that there are not discrete binding sites (56), and with the conclusions of Raman spectroscopy studies that also support non-specific electrostatic binding (57).…”

“…Unlike the case of small-angle scattering, the parametrization of I q (through f eff ) for large-angle scattering is lower in quality such that quantitative agreement of peak intensity is not achieved (28,29). Peak positions do seem to be reproduced well by eq 8 using the current parametrization.…”
