Includes scripts for accessing our archive of villin trajectories as well as a VMD plug-in for viewing the trajectories. In addition, all starting structures used in the trajectories are also provided. The villin trajectory archive The villin trajectories in the archive are divided into two projects: PROJ3036 and PROJ3037. PROJ3036 contains trajectories starting from nine non-folded configurations. PROJ3037 contains trajectories starting from the native (folded) state. Runs 0 through 8 (in PROJ3036) correspond to starting configurations 0 through 8 discussed in the paper in J. Mol. Biol. (2007) 374(3):806-816 (see the publications tab for a full reference), whereas RUN9 uses the same starting configuration as RUN8. Each run contains 100 trajectories (named clone 0-99), each with the same starting configuration but different random velocities. Trajectories vary in their length of time and are subdivided into "frames," also known as a generation. Each "frame" contains around 400 configurational snapshots, or timepoints, of the trajectory, with the last configurational snapshot of frame i corresponding to the first configurational snapshot of generation i+1. For detailed documentation on accessing the archive please see the Wiki (accessible through the left menu). We also provide the ten starting structures (nine non-folded and the native structure) in the download packages below, (named Project 3037 and 10 packages named Project 3036 RUNx, with x going from 0 to 8, corresponding to the above mentioned "runs" (RUN0-RUN8);

Native Structure: Project 3037
This is the native structure, PDB code: 2F4K. It was used both as the starting point of native state simulations at 300K and by simulations at 373 K (10 ns each using 1 fs time steps) to generate the following nine denatured structures. Additional information below in the Release Notes.

Project 3036 RUN0
A great deal of the native structure was lost in these initial structures, but a surprising degree of native-like structure remained. The structural elements considered were the simultaneous presence of the three helices and the six contacts between the three Phe residues, F6, F10 and F17.
Starting Structure 0
Apr 10, 2008

Structure 0 shows the presence of Helix 1 and within threshold distances between F6-F10 and F10-F17. Additional information on structural characteristics below in the Notes
