New optimization method for conformational energy calculations on polypeptides: Conformational space annealing
A new optimization method is presented to search for the global minimum-energy conformations of polypeptides. The method combines essential aspects of the build-up procedure and the genetic algorithm, and it introduces the important concept of ‘‘conformational space annealing.’’ Instead of considering a single conformation, attention is focused on a population of conformations while new conform...
متن کاملAn immunologic approach to the conformational equilibria of polypeptides.
Antibodies reactive with distinct regions of the staphylococcal nuclease molecule were prepared both by immunization with polypeptide fragments of nuclease and by immunization with intact nuclease followed by fractionation of the antiserum on immuno-absorbent columns bearing the corresponding fragments. Comparisons of the interactions of these antibody preparations with nuclease, by quantitativ...
متن کاملConformational distributions of unfolded polypeptides from novel NMR techniques.
How the information content of an unfolded polypeptide sequence directs a protein towards a well-formed three-dimensional structure during protein folding remains one of the fundamental questions in structural biology. Unfolded proteins have recently attracted further interest due to their surprising prevalence in the cellular milieu, where they fulfill not only central regulatory functions, bu...
متن کاملSolvent and conformational effects on the ultraviolet spectra of polypeptides and substituted amides.
The study of the ultraviolet spectra of proteins and polypeptides shows changes in the 215to 245-rnp region, occurring simultaneously with alterations in conformation, such as denaturation or helix-coil transitions (1, 2). Recently (3-5), the rotatory dispersion curves of helical synthetic polypeptides and certain native proteins have been extended into the wave length range mentioned above and...
متن کاملConformational Proofreading: The Impact of Conformational Changes on the Specificity of Molecular Recognition
To perform recognition, molecules must locate and specifically bind their targets within a noisy biochemical environment with many look-alikes. Molecular recognition processes, especially the induced-fit mechanism, are known to involve conformational changes. This raises a basic question: Does molecular recognition gain any advantage by such conformational changes? By introducing a simple stati...
