Solvent Effect on Aquaporin4

Aquaporins are integral membrane proteins from a larger family of major intrinsic proteins that form pores in the membrane of biological cells. Aquaporins form tetramers in the cell membrane with each monomer acting as a water channel.In this research, the AQP4 tetramer was modeled from its PDB structure file, then, we have performed the intraction of aquaporin4 in different temperatures (298k, 300k, 302k, 304k, 306k, 308k and 310k) with OPLS and Amber force field in molecular mechanic (MM) method. The Total energy (Et), Potential energy (Ep) and Kinetic energy (Ek) in (Kcal/mol), were examined, with Amber and OPLS in force field in molecular mechanic (MM) method. In this investigation HyperChem professional release 7.01 was used for the quantum chemical calculations. We have performed geometry optimization and Monte Carlo simulation by this software.
