Molecular dynamics simulations and in silico peptide ligand screening of the Elk-1 ETS domain (2011)
Journal Article
Hussain, A., Shaw, P., & Hirst, J. (2011). Molecular dynamics simulations and in silico peptide ligand screening of the Elk-1 ETS domain. Journal of Cheminformatics, 3(49), https://doi.org/10.1186/1758-2946-3-49

Background: The Elk-1 transcription factor is a member of a group of proteins called ternary complex factors, which serve as a paradigm for gene regulation in response to extracellular signals. Its deregulation has been linked to multiple human dise... Read More about Molecular dynamics simulations and in silico peptide ligand screening of the Elk-1 ETS domain.

Molecular dynamics simulations using graphics processing units (2011)
Journal Article
Baker, J., & Hirst, J. (2011). Molecular dynamics simulations using graphics processing units. Molecular Informatics, 30(6-7), https://doi.org/10.1002/minf.201100042

It is increasingly easy to develop software that exploits Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). The molecular dynamics simulation community has embraced this recent opportunity. Herein, we outline the current approaches that exploit this technology. In t... Read More about Molecular dynamics simulations using graphics processing units.

First principles predictions of thermophysical properties of refrigerant mixtures (2011)
Journal Article
Oakley, M. T., Hainam, D., Hirst, J., & Wheatley, R. J. (2011). First principles predictions of thermophysical properties of refrigerant mixtures. Journal of Chemical Physics, 134, https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3567308

We present pair potentials for fluorinated methanes and their dimers with CO2 based on ab initio potential energy surfaces. These potentials reproduce the experimental second virial coefficients of the pure fluorinated methanes and their mixtures wit...
