Hi everybody!

I would like to modelize an Fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl chloride (F-moc) at the end of a oligopeptide. Does anyone have any idea if it has been done before or will I have to modelize it from the begining?

Thanks a lot for the help,
Sofia Bariami

Hi,

I don't know of any model for such a molecule, but please check the literature thoroughly.

Otherwise, see tutorials and Martini papers for how to build and validate a model. Here's how I would map it:

where all but the OCOCl bead are S-beads. S-beads on the aromatic part would be the same as for benzene, so SC5 beads. However, you should also look for experimental partitioning data (also only for fragments of the molecule, in case you don't find data for the whole molecule) against which validate the bead type choices (see tutorials ).

Hi Sofia,

Someone affiliated with our group has done some work on Fmoc peptides recently. I will ask him to share his results. Note: the assembly of Fmoc-peptides remained tricky even with the optimized parameters for Martini 2.2.

PS. Thorough atomistic parametrization: pubs.rsc.org/-/content/articlehtml/2016/cp/c5cp06770g

Thanks a lot!

Yes, I'm using S beads for sure for the aromatic compound in order to preserve the ring geometry. As for the other part, I hope I'll find something in the literature

:)

Dear Sofia,

As Pim mentioned, I've tried to parametrize Fmoc. Unfortunately, my parametrization is not perfect, and it overestimates hydrophobic interactions (experimental logP=1.4 and mine 3.6), so you will need to work a little bit on that. I have used the topology which Riccardo showed. The tricky part was to keep molecule flat - to do that I had to use two virtual sites and bending restriction potential, which requires usage of Gromacs 5. (parameterization is in a similar manner as in this paper: aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.4937783 )

Below is the topology. For sure it is not perfect, but I think it is a good starting point. You should play more with nonbonded parameters to better reproduce logP. I used timestep 10fs.

Cheers,
Tomasz

Hi Tomasz,

Thanks a lot for the info. Helped a lot!
Yes I'll check the parameters as you indicated.

Have a good day,
Sofia

Hello Sir
I am trying to make a martinized coarse grain structure of Phenylalanine with N-terminal capped by Fmoc (Fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl). I have the .pdb files of all-atom structure required for both PHE and Fmoc and combined them to a single .pdb file. But in martinize.py script, there are only details given for conversion of all-atom to coarse grain structure of PHE. Hence, only coarse grain structure of PHE is being formed and Fmoc is not shown in the martinized output file. Can you please provide the martinize.py script for Fmoc?

Martinize.py will not martinize residues which are not amino acids. Thus, you'll have to merge by hand the PHE and Fmoc models. There's should be enough info in this thread for doing so but let us know if you have some specific doubt.

Hi!
Riccardo is right. But, indeed, I do have a modified martnize.py including amino acids and FMoc group. I have not looked at this for quite a while, but it should work. I will post details later.

Cheers,
Tomasz

Hi Tomasz,
Can you please help me out with the above said information that you have with you regarding modelling of FMOC with martinize.py? My ongoing project is on hold due to this.

Thanks,
Rituparna

Hi! Unfortunately, I cannot share all files with you (I do not own rights to part of it) and without them my martinize.py is useless. You have to work than with topology which I post long ago in this thread. Sorry!

Good luck,
Tomasz
