Abstract: We performed molecular dynamics simulation for four proteins, CLN025 (2ZEI), MHA6 (2I9M), TrpCage (1L2Y) and Villin(3TRW) on GEX670GPU with AMBER ff12SB force field and Generalized Born (GBNeck2) implicit solvent model. Results show that folding time and RMSD compared to its crystal structure are 5.94 μs and 0.897  for protein 2ZEI, 0.191 μs and 1.142 for protein 219M, 4.23 μs and 1.37  for protein Villin, and 2.49 μs and 0.63  protein TrpCage.It demonstrates that microsecond level protein folding simulation can be implemented on a desktop workstation with GPU computing.

Key words: protein folding, GBNeck2, ff12SB force field, GPU computing, molecular dynamics
