Fast Atomic Charge Calculation for Implementation into a Polarizable Force Field and Application to an Ion Channel Protein by Raiker Witter, Margit Möllhoff, Frank-Thomas Koch, Ulrich Sternberg

“…The method was implemented in the force field COSMOS-NMR and applied to the histidine-tryptophan-complex of the transmembrane domain of the M2 protein channel of influenza A virus. Our calculations show that moderate changes of side chain torsion angle χ1 and small variations of χ2 of Trp-41 are necessary to switch from the inactivated into the activated state; and a rough two-side jump model of His-37 is supported for proton gating in accordance with a flipping mechanism.…”
