The complex 3D structure of biopolymers, such as peptides, proteins and nucleic acids, are critical to their biological functions. One of the key factors that dictate the structure of a macromolecule is the electrostatic interactions among polymer residues. DS Biopolymer not only allows you to create and modify biopolymers from their basic building blocks, but also allows you to calculate a molecule’s electrostatic properties, including the effects of bulk solvent and ionic strength, providing crucial data for rationalizing differences in the activity of macromolecules.
Biopolymer in Discovery Studio 2.0 includes:
- Tools for building a editing peptide, proteins, and nucleic acid macromolecules
- Access to DelPhi for calculating Poisson-Boltzmann electrostatic potentials and solvation energies
- Power visualization capabilities to view electrostatic potential grids as solid, triangle or quad mesh, or volume isosurfaces
- Tools that allow you to automatically fit your protein models and ligands into electron density maps of a specified protein-ligand complex
