Modelling MACROMODEL

In general, conqiact models are classified into three categories primitive models, macromodels, and behavioral models [1]. A primitive model is the constituent element (e. g., capacitors, inductors, and resistors etc.) in a corrplex system and is typically represented as a single Differential-Algebraic Equation (DAE) derived from basic conservation laws in different domains. The difference between macromodels and behavioral models is subtle, and both describe the dynamic response of a device via a set of equations. Macromodels are constructed via assembly of primitive models or a set of DAEs in a system-level representation, while the behavioral models are more generic and effective forms and built on the underlying domain-physics [1]. 

The generalized Born/surface area (GB/SA) model is a combination of the Born and SASA models. This method has been effective in describing the solvation of biomolecular molecules. It is incorporated in the MacroModel software package.

Compared with the use of arbitrary grid interfaces in combination with reduced-order flow models, the porous medium approach allows one to deal with an even larger multitude of micro channels. Furthermore, for comparatively simple geometries with only a limited number of channels, it represents a simple way to provide qualitative estimates of the flow distribution. However, as a coarse-grained description it does not reach the level of accuracy as reduced-order models. Compared with the macromodel approach as propagated by Commenge et al, the porous medium approach has a broader scope of applicability and can also be applied when recirculation zones appear in the flow distribution chamber. However, the macromodel approach is computationally less expensive and can ideally be used for optimization studies.

The VCD features for a number of larger peptide models have been calculated in the course of our efforts to define their solution conformation. These calculations proceeded exactly in the same manner as the ones described for small oligonucleotides. Cartesian coordinates from X-ray experiments, or from the program MacroModel [21), were used, along with a vibrational frequency for an unperturbed, single amide I or amide I vibration. The dipole transition moment for the amide I vibration was taken somewhat lower than that of the nucleotide base carbonyl stretching vibration, in agreement with observed data and literature values. Details of these calculations will also be provided in Section 4. 

We approached the problem of establishing a structure of the "random coil" conformation by first establishing the limits of the present computational model for a known polymeric structure, the a-helix. Coordinates, created by program MacroModel [22] for the carbonyl groups of a-helical oligomers were used, along with published and experimental dipole transition moments, to compute the VCD and absorption spectra of the a-helical conformer. We found that VCD spectra, independent of chain length, can be calculated for octamers, and that the choice of side chain residues is immaterial for the computed spectra. Both calculated and experimental data were normalized to one residue, to permit a comparison between computed and observed spectra.

A more interesting model is depicted in Fig. 4.16, where four different pieces with different shapes of hydrophobic faces are used. These four pieces form two kinds of pairs through contact between complementary shapes. These pieces are linearly connected in a specific sequence and floated on water. This macromodel of a polymer can form pairs most efficiently with another macromodel with a complementary sequence. This macromodel mimics hybridization processes of nucleic acids. Although these visible macromodels are not actual supermolecules, they do still imitate the mechanism of supramolecular recognition.
