Calibrated Langevin-dynamics simulations of intrinsically disordered proteins.
We perform extensive coarse-grained (CG) Langevin dynamics simulations of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), which possess fluctuating conformational statistics between that for excluded volume random walks and collapsed globules. Our CG model includes repulsive steric, attractive hydrophobic, and electrostatic interactions between residues and is calibrated to a large collection of sing...
متن کاملIntrinsically disordered proteins.
Our understanding of protein function has been predominated by the view that proteins need to adopt a defined three dimensional structure to be able to carry out their function. Indeed, crystal structures of numerous proteins have been instrumental in establishing the structure– function paradigm. For example, the structures of numerous enzymes have highlighted the need for particular chemical ...
متن کاملMolecular simulations of the fluctuating conformational dynamics of intrinsically disordered proteins.
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) do not possess well-defined three-dimensional structures in solution under physiological conditions. We develop all-atom, united-atom, and coarse-grained Langevin dynamics simulations for the IDP α-synuclein that include geometric, attractive hydrophobic, and screened electrostatic interactions and are calibrated to the inter-residue separations measured...
متن کاملIntrinsically Disordered Proteins
In the same way that neither a messy lab bench nor a clean one is a reliable indicator of a researcher’s productivity, a protein’s function cannot be judged solely on the basis of its neatly folded and stable domains. As evidenced by recent work discussed in this Select, we are learning that intrinsically disordered regions feature in many of the cell’s most productive multitaskers, proteins wh...
متن کاملMicrosecond Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins Involved in the Oxidative Stress Response
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are abundant in cells and have central roles in protein-protein interaction networks. Interactions between the IDP Prothymosin alpha (ProTα) and the Neh2 domain of Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), with a common binding partner, Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1(Keap1), are essential for regulating cellular response to oxidative stres...
