Conformational preference of ChaK1 binding peptides: a molecular dynamics study
TRPM7/ChaK1 is a recently discovered atypical protein kinase that has been suggested to selectively phosphorylate the substrate residues located in alpha-helices. However, the actual structure of kinase-substrate complex has not been determined experimentally and the recognition mechanism remains unknown. In this work we explored possible kinase-substrate binding modes and the likelihood of an ...
متن کاملMass-weighted molecular dynamics simulation and conformational analysis of polypeptide.
Atomic motions in protein molecules have been studied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations; dynamics simulation methods have also been employed in conformational studies of polypeptide molecules. It was found that when atomic masses are weighted, the molecular dynamics method can significantly increase the sampling of dihedral conformation space in such studies, compared to a conventional MD ...
متن کاملConformational Analysis of Benzyloxycarbonyl-Protected Peptides
The benzyloxycarbonyl (Z-) residue, an important protecting group in peptide synthesis, was introduced into the input data set o f the “Empirical Conformational Energy Program for Peptides” (ECEPP) developed by Scheraga and coworkers. With additional modifications ECEPP is now prepared for conformational analysis o f peptides containing this amino end group. Preferred conformations o f the Z-re...
متن کاملEnhanced Conformational Sampling in Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Solvated Peptides: Fragment-Based Local Elevation Umbrella Sampling.
A new method, fragment-based local elevation umbrella sampling (FB-LEUS), is proposed to enhance the conformational sampling in explicit-solvent molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of solvated polymers. The method is derived from the local elevation umbrella sampling (LEUS) method [ Hansen and Hünenberger , J. Comput. Chem. 2010 , 31 , 1 - 23 ], which combines the local elevation (LE) conformat...
متن کاملConformational dynamics of the molecular chaperone Hsp90.
The ubiquitous molecular chaperone Hsp90 makes up 1-2% of cytosolic proteins and is required for viability in eukaryotes. Hsp90 affects the folding and activation of a wide variety of substrate proteins including many involved in signaling and regulatory processes. Some of these substrates are implicated in cancer and other diseases, making Hsp90 an attractive drug target. Structural analyses h...
