Theory of RNA Folding: From Hairpins to Ribozymes
The rugged nature of the RNA folding landscape is determined by a number of conflicting interactions like repulsive electrostatic potential between the charges on the phosphate groups, constraints due to loop entropy, base stacking, and hydrogen bonding that operate on various length scales. As a result the kinetics of self-assembly of RNA is complex, but can be easily modulated by varying the ...
متن کاملForce-dependent hopping rates of RNA hairpins can be estimated from accurate measurement of the folding landscapes.
The sequence-dependent folding landscapes of nucleic acid hairpins reflect much of the complexity of biomolecular folding. Folding trajectories, generated by using single-molecule force-clamp experiments by attaching semiflexible polymers to the ends of hairpins, have been used to infer their folding landscapes. Using simulations and theory, we study the effect of the dynamics of the attached h...
متن کاملProtein Folding Properties from Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Our understanding of protein folding has improved tremendously due to computer simulations of molecular dynamics (MD), but determining protein folding kinetics and thermodynamics from all-atom MD simulations without using experimental data still represents a formidable scientific challenge. Simulations can easily get trapped in local minima on rough free energy landscapes and folding events may...
متن کاملFolding and stability of the three-stranded beta-sheet peptide Betanova: insights from molecular dynamics simulations.
The dynamics of the three-stranded beta-sheet peptide Betanova has been studied at four different temperatures (280, 300, 350, and 450 K by molecular dynamics simulation techniques, in explicit water. Two 20-ns simulations at 280 K indicate that the peptide remains very flexible under "folding" conditions sampling a range of conformations that together satisfy the nuclear magnetic resonance (NM...
متن کاملExploring the complex folding kinetics of RNA hairpins: I. General folding kinetics analysis.
Depending on the nucleotide sequence, the temperature, and other conditions, RNA hairpin-folding kinetics can be very complex. The complexity with a wide range of cooperative and noncooperative kinetic behaviors arises from the interplay between the formation of the loops, the disruption of the misfolded states, and the formation of the rate-limiting base stacks. With a rate constant model and ...
