Title: Simulation Data for Design of Peptides that Fold and Self-Assemble on Graphite

This data set for the manuscript entitled "Design of Peptides that Fold and Self-Assemble on Graphite" includes all files needed to run and analyze the simulations described in the this manuscript in the molecular dynamics software NAMD, as well as the output of the simulations. The files are organized into directories corresponding to the figures of the main text and supporting information. They include molecular model structure files (NAMD psf or Amber prmtop format), force field parameter files (in CHARMM format), initial atomic coordinates (pdb format), NAMD configuration files, Colvars configuration files, NAMD log files, and NAMD output including restart files (in binary NAMD format) and trajectories in dcd format (downsampled to 10 ns per frame). Analysis is controlled by shell scripts (Bash-compatible) that call VMD Tcl scripts or python scripts. These scripts and their output are also included.

Version: 2.0

Changes versus version 1.0 are the addition of the free energy of folding, adsorption, and pairing calculations (Sim_Figure-7) and shifting of the figure numbers to accommodate this addition.


Conventions Used in These Files
===============================

Structure Files
----------------
- graph_*.psf or sol_*.psf (original NAMD (XPLOR?) format psf file including atom details (type, charge, mass), as well as definitions of bonds, angles, dihedrals, and impropers for each dipeptide.)

- graph_*.pdb or sol_*.pdb (initial coordinates before equilibration)
- repart_*.psf (same as the above psf files, but the masses of non-water hydrogen atoms have been repartitioned by VMD script repartitionMass.tcl)
- freeTop_*.pdb (same as the above pdb files, but the carbons of the lower graphene layer have been placed at a single z value and marked for restraints in NAMD)
- amber_*.prmtop (combined topology and parameter files for Amber force field simulations)
- repart_amber_*.prmtop (same as the above prmtop files, but the masses of non-water hydrogen atoms have been repartitioned by ParmEd)

Force Field Parameters
----------------------
CHARMM format parameter files:
- par_all36m_prot.prm (CHARMM36m FF for proteins)
- par_all36_cgenff_no_nbfix.prm (CGenFF v4.4 for graphene) The NBFIX parameters are commented out since they are only needed for aromatic halogens and we use only the CG2R61 type for graphene.
- toppar_water_ions_prot_cgenff.str (CHARMM water and ions with NBFIX parameters needed for protein and CGenFF included and others commented out)

Template NAMD Configuration Files
---------------------------------
These contain the most commonly used simulation parameters. They are called by the other NAMD configuration files (which are in the namd/ subdirectory):
- template_min.namd (minimization)
- template_eq.namd (NPT equilibration with lower graphene fixed)
- template_abf.namd (for adaptive biasing force)

Minimization
-------------
- namd/min_*.0.namd

Equilibration
-------------
- namd/eq_*.0.namd

Adaptive biasing force calculations
-----------------------------------
- namd/eabfZRest7_graph_chp1404.0.namd
- namd/eabfZRest7_graph_chp1404.1.namd (continuation of eabfZRest7_graph_chp1404.0.namd)

Log Files
---------
For each NAMD configuration file given in the last two sections, there is a log file with the same prefix, which gives the text output of NAMD. For instance, the output of namd/eabfZRest7_graph_chp1404.0.namd is eabfZRest7_graph_chp1404.0.log.

Simulation Output
-----------------
The simulation output files (which match the names of the NAMD configuration files) are in the output/ directory. Files with the extensions .coor, .vel, and .xsc are coordinates in NAMD binary format, velocities in NAMD binary format, and extended system information (including cell size) in text format. Files with the extension .dcd give the trajectory of the atomic coorinates over time (and also include system cell information). Due to storage limitations, large DCD files have been omitted or replaced with new DCD files having the prefix stride50_ including only every 50 frames. The time between frames in these files is 50 * 50000 steps/frame * 4 fs/step = 10 ns. The system cell trajectory is also included for the NPT runs are output/eq_*.xst.

Scripts
-------
Files with the .sh extension can be found throughout. These usually provide the highest level control for submission of simulations and analysis. Look to these as a guide to what is happening. If there are scripts with step1_*.sh and step2_*.sh, they are intended to be run in order, with step1_*.sh first.


CONTENTS
========

The directory contents are as follows. The directories Sim_Figure-1 and Sim_Figure-8 include README.txt files that describe the files and naming conventions used throughout this data set.

Sim_Figure-1: Simulations of N-acetylated C-amidated amino acids (Ac-X-NHMe) at the graphite–water interface.

Sim_Figure-2: Simulations of different peptide designs (including acyclic, disulfide cyclized, and N-to-C cyclized) at the graphite–water interface.

Sim_Figure-3: MM-GBSA calculations of different peptide sequences for a folded conformation and 5 misfolded/unfolded conformations.

Sim_Figure-4: Simulation of four peptide molecules with the sequence cyc(GTGSGTG-GPGG-GCGTGTG-SGPG) at the graphite–water interface at 370 K.

Sim_Figure-5: Simulation of four peptide molecules with the sequence cyc(GTGSGTG-GPGG-GCGTGTG-SGPG) at the graphite–water interface at 295 K.

Sim_Figure-5_replica: Temperature replica exchange molecular dynamics simulations for the peptide cyc(GTGSGTG-GPGG-GCGTGTG-SGPG) with 20 replicas for temperatures from 295 to 454 K.

Sim_Figure-6: Simulation of the peptide molecule cyc(GTGSGTG-GPGG-GCGTGTG-SGPG) in free solution (no graphite).

Sim_Figure-7: Free energy calculations for folding, adsorption, and pairing for the peptide CHP1404 (sequence: cyc(GTGSGTG-GPGG-GCGTGTG-SGPG)). For folding, we calculate the PMF as function of RMSD by replica-exchange umbrella sampling (in the subdirectory Folding_CHP1404_Graphene/). We make the same calculation in solution, which required 3 seperate replica-exchange umbrella sampling calculations (in the subdirectory Folding_CHP1404_Solution/). Both PMF of RMSD calculations for the scrambled peptide are in Folding_scram1404/. For adsorption, calculation of the PMF for the orientational restraints and the calculation of the PMF along z (the distance between the graphene sheet and the center of mass of the peptide) are in Adsorption_CHP1404/ and Adsorption_scram1404/. The actual calculation of the free energy is done by a shell script ("doRestraintEnergyError.sh") in the 1_free_energy/ subsubdirectory. Processing of the PMFs must be done first in the 0_pmf/ subsubdirectory. Finally, files for free energy calculations of pair formation for CHP1404 are found in the Pair/ subdirectory.

Sim_Figure-8: Simulation of four peptide molecules with the sequence cyc(GTGSGTG-GPGG-GCGTGTG-SGPG) where the peptides are far above the graphene–water interface in the initial configuration.

Sim_Figure-9: Two replicates of a simulation of nine peptide molecules with the sequence cyc(GTGSGTG-GPGG-GCGTGTG-SGPG) at the graphite–water interface at 370 K.

Sim_Figure-9_scrambled: Two replicates of a simulation of nine peptide molecules with the control sequence cyc(GGTPTTGGGGGGSGGPSGTGGC) at the graphite–water interface at 370 K.

Sim_Figure-10: Adaptive biasing for calculation of the free energy of the folded peptide as a function of the angle between its long axis and the zigzag directions of the underlying graphene sheet.

  3. CHARMM‐GUI,http://www.charmm-gui.org, is a web‐based graphical user interface that prepares complex biomolecular systems for molecular simulations. CHARMM‐GUI creates input files for a number of programs including CHARMM, NAMD, GROMACS, AMBER, GENESIS, LAMMPS, Desmond, OpenMM, and CHARMM/OpenMM. Since its original development in 2006, CHARMM‐GUI has been widely adopted for various purposes and now contains a number of different modules designed to set up a broad range of simulations: (1)PDB Reader & Manipulator,Glycan Reader, andLigand Reader & Modelerfor reading and modifying molecules; (2)Quick MD Simulator,Membrane Builder,Nanodisc Builder,HMMM Builder,Monolayer Builder,Micelle Builder, andHex Phase Builderfor building all‐atom simulation systems in various environments; (3)PACE CG BuilderandMartini Makerfor building coarse‐grained simulation systems; (4)DEER FacilitatorandMDFF/xMDFF Utilizerfor experimentally guided simulations; (5)Implicit Solvent Modeler,PBEQ‐Solver, andGCMC/BD Ion Simulatorfor implicit solvent related calculations; (6)Ligand Binderfor ligand solvation and binding free energy simulations; and (7)Drude Prepperfor preparation of simulations with the CHARMM Drude polarizable force field. Recently, new modules have been integrated into CHARMM‐GUI, such asGlycolipid Modelerfor generation of various glycolipid structures, andLPS Modelerfor generation of lipopolysaccharide structures from various Gram‐negative bacteria. These new features together with existing modules are expected to facilitate advanced molecular modeling and simulation thereby leading to an improved understanding of the structure and dynamics of complex biomolecular systems. Here, we briefly review these capabilities and discuss potential future directions in the CHARMM‐GUI development project. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

  4. This dataset contains sequence information, three-dimensional structures (from AlphaFold2 model), and substrate classification labels for 358 short-chain dehydrogenase/reductases (SDRs) and 953 S-adenosylmethionine dependent methyltransferases (SAM-MTases).

    The aminoacid sequences of these enzymes were obtained from the UniProt Knowledgebase (https://www.uniprot.org). The sets of proteins were obtained by querying using InterPro protein family/domain identifiers corresponding to each family: IPR002347 (SDRs) and IPR029063 (SAM-MTases). The query results were filtered by UniProt annotation score, keeping only those with score above 4-out-of-5, and deduplicated by exact sequence matches.

    The structures were submitted to the publicly available AlphaFold2 protein structure predictor (J. Jumper et al., Nature, 2021, 596, 583) using the ColabFold notebook (https://colab.research.google.com/github/sokrypton/ColabFold/blob/v1.1-premultimer/batch/AlphaFold2_batch.ipynb, M. Mirdita, S. Ovchinnikov, M. Steinegger, Nature Meth., 2022, 19, 679, https://github.com/sokrypton/ColabFold). The model settings used were  msa_model = MMSeq2(Uniref+Environmental), num_models = 1, use_amber = False, use_templates = True, do_not_overwrite_results = True. The resulting PDB structures are included as ZIP archives

    The classification labels were obtained from the substrate and product annotations of the enzyme UniProtKB records. Two approaches were used: substrate clustering based on molecular fingerprints and manual substrate type classification. For the substate clustering, Morgan fingerprints were generated for all enzymatic substrates and products with known structures (excluding cofactors) with radius = 3 using RDKit (https://rdkit.org). The fingerprints were projected onto two-dimensional space using the UMAP algorithm (L. McInnes, J. Healy, 2018, arXiv 1802.03426) and Jaccard metric and clustered using k-means. This procedure generated 9 clusters for SDR substrates and 13 clusters for SAM-MTases. The SMILES representations of the substrates are listed in the SDR_substrates_to_cluster_map_2DIMUMAP.csv and SAM_substrates_to_13clusters_map_2DIMUMAP.csv files.


    The following manually defined classification tasks are included for SDRs: NADP/NAD cofactor classification; phenol substrate, sterol substrate, coenzyme A (CoA) substrate. For SAM-MTases, the manually defined classification tasks are: biopolymer (protein/RNA/DNA) vs. small molecule substrate, phenol subsrates, sterol substrates, nitrogen heterocycle substrates. The SMARTS strings used to define the substrate classes are listed in substructure_search_SMARTS.docx.
