Efficient computation of transfer free energies of amino acids in beta-barrel membrane proteins
Motivation Transmembrane beta-barrel proteins (TMBs) serve a multitude of essential cellular functions in Gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts. Transfer free energies (TFEs) of residues in the transmembrane (TM) region provides fundamental quantifications of thermodynamic stabilities of TMBs, which are important for the folding and the membrane insertion processes, and may help...
متن کاملMorphological thermodynamics of fluids: shape dependence of free energies.
We examine the dependence of a thermodynamic potential of a fluid on the geometry of its container. If motion invariance, continuity, and additivity of the potential are satisfied, only four morphometric measures are needed to describe fully the influence of an arbitrarily shaped container on the fluid. These three constraints can be understood as a more precise definition for the conventional ...
متن کاملSolvation free energies of amino acid side chain analogs for common molecular mechanics water models.
Quantitative free energy computation involves both using a model that is sufficiently faithful to the experimental system under study (accuracy) and establishing statistically meaningful measures of the uncertainties resulting from finite sampling (precision). In order to examine the accuracy of a range of common water models used for protein simulation for their solute/solvent properties, we c...
متن کاملThe Context-Dependence of Amino Acid Properties
One of the current limitations of using sequence alignments to identify proteins with similar structures is that some proteins with similar structures do not have significant sequence similarity by identity. One way to address this "hidden-homology" problem is to match amino acids based on their chemical and physical properties. However, the amino acid properties overlap, creating orthogonal di...
متن کاملTemperature dependence of amino acid hydrophobicities.
The hydrophobicities of the 20 common amino acids are reflected in their tendencies to appear in interior positions in globular proteins and in deeply buried positions of membrane proteins. To determine whether these relationships might also have been valid in the warm surroundings where life may have originated, we examined the effect of temperature on the hydrophobicities of the amino acids a...
