Goal: extending recent work on dynamics of hydrogen bonded crystals to biopolymers
DNA, the holy grail of bio-simulation
=> 4000 atoms !
Explained proton transfer with temperature
Validation of methods on different types (strength, length) of hydrogen bond
Short strong hydrogen bond crystals
=> 100-150 atomsSecondary structures of
proteins
=>100-150 atoms
Hydrated protein with triple helices
=> 350 atoms
simulation vs. experiments, dynamics as a structural probe

Methods
Why studying dynamics ? Knowledge of the structure is difficult to obtain (semi-
crystallineand amorphous systems) and not sufficient
Why with neutrons ?Neutron scattering of biological system is very sensitive to
hydrogendiffusion factor
Why ab-initio simulations ?“Parameter-free”, only the electronic configuration of
elements and not refinement of a lot of spring constants modeling the
polymer chain

* Collagen is the fibrous protein constituent skin, cartilagebone and other connective tissues
*It is constituted by three chains of amino acids of proline and glycine wound together in a tight triple helix.

Messages for future work
Clear evidence of a strong link between structure and dynamics with DFT (parameter-free!) for biopolymers (proton transfer, amide bands)
The numerical precision of DFT needs to be increased to handle low frequency excitations in amorphous systems (normal modes vs. molecular dynamics of hydrated collagen)
Collagen (~350 atoms, CPU time for 2 ps of DFT-MD simulation = 1 month !)=> Order N or QM/MM or FF methods to treat hydrated DNA (DFT~4N)
Dynamical signature of humidity-driven structural transitions. The B form of DNA turns into the A-form on drying.
