متن کاملMultidimensional Scaling and Unfolding
Multidimensional scaling (MDS) techniques are statistical techqnies that convert information about distances between a number of objects into a spatial representation of these objects. These techniques were first discussed systematically in psychometrics [Torgerson, 1958; Coombs, 1964] as multidimensional extensions of univariate psychophysics and sensory scaling. Because they needed considerab...
متن کاملOptimal flexibility for conformational transitions in macromolecules.
Conformational transitions in macromolecular complexes often involve the reorientation of leverlike structures. Using a simple theoretical model, we show that the rate of such transitions is drastically enhanced if the lever is bendable, e.g., at a localized hinge. Surprisingly, the transition is fastest with an intermediate flexibility of the hinge. In this intermediate regime, the transition ...
متن کاملThermal unfolding of proteins.
Thermal unfolding of proteins is compared to folding and mechanical stretching in a simple topology-based dynamical model. We define the unfolding time and demonstrate its low-temperature divergence. Below a characteristic temperature, contacts break at separate time scales and unfolding proceeds approximately in a way reverse to folding. Features in these scenarios agree with experiments and a...
متن کاملAn energetic model for macromolecules unfolding in stretching experiments.
We propose a simple approach, based on the minimization of the total (entropic plus unfolding) energy of a two-state system, to describe the unfolding of multi-domain macromolecules (proteins, silks, polysaccharides, nanopolymers). The model is fully analytical and enlightens the role of the different energetic components regulating the unfolding evolution. As an explicit example, we compare th...
