A coarse-grained, ``realistic'' model for Protein Folding
A phenomenological model hamiltonian to describe the folding of a protein with any given sequence is proposed. The protein is thought of as a collection of pieces of helices; as a consequence its configuration space increases with the number of secondary structure elements rather than with the number of residues. The hamiltonian presents both local (i.e. single helix, accounting for the stiffne...
متن کاملGeneric coarse-grained model for protein folding and aggregation.
A generic coarse-grained (CG) protein model is presented. The intermediate level of resolution (four beads per amino acid, implicit solvent) allows for accurate sampling of local conformations. It relies on simple interactions that emphasize structure, such as hydrogen bonds and hydrophobicity. Realistic alpha/beta content is achieved by including an effective nearest-neighbor dipolar interacti...
متن کاملCoarse grained description of the protein folding
We consider twoand three-dimensional lattice models of proteins which were characterized previously. We coarse grain their folding dynamics by reducing it to transitions between effective states. We consider two methods of selection of the effective states. The first method is based on the steepest descent mapping of states to underlying local energy minima and the other involves an additional ...

متن کاملCoarse-grained sequences for protein folding and design.
We present the results of sequence design on our off-lattice minimalist model in which no specification of native-state tertiary contacts is needed. We start with a sequence that adopts a target topology and build on it through sequence mutation to produce new sequences that comprise distinct members within a target fold class. In this work, we use the alpha/beta ubiquitin fold class and design...
