摘要

Surfactant micelles are often utilized as membrane mimetics for structure determination and functional analysis of membrane proteins. The curved-surface effects of the micelle can perturb membrane protein structure. However, it is difficult to assess such effects and membrane mimetic artifacts by experimental and theoretical methods. Here, we propose an implicit micelle model (IMIC) to be used in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of membrane proteins. IMIC is an extension of the IMM1 implicit membrane model and additionally introduces a superellipsoid approximation to represent the curved-surface effects. Most of the IMIC parameters are obtained from all-atom explicit solvent MD simulations of 12 membrane proteins in various micelles. The HIV envelope protein gp41, M13 major coat protein gp8, and amyloid precursor protein (APP) dimer are simulated via MD simulations with IMIC. These simulations clearly show how the micelle influences membrane protein structures compared to the bilayer environments. The MD simulations with IMIC provide reliable membrane protein structures in various micelle environments quickly with smaller computational cost than that for an explicit solvent/micelle model.
