Correlation between protein secondary structure, backbone bond angles, and side-chain orientations.
We investigate the fine structure of the sp3 hybridized covalent bond geometry that governs the tetrahedral architecture around the central C(α) carbon of a protein backbone, and for this we develop new visualization techniques to analyze high-resolution x-ray structures in the Protein Data Bank. We observe that there is a correlation between the deformations of the ideal tetrahedral symmetry a...
متن کاملCorrelation between side chain mobility and conformation in protein structures.
Thermal factors of protein atoms as determined by X-ray crystallographic techniques show a tendency to be larger in side chains with unfavourable local conformations rather than in those displaying conformational energy minima. It follows that side chain atoms are more mobile if they are in a non-rotameric configuration and that the stereochemistry of protein structures cannot be fully assessed...
متن کاملSide-chain and backbone flexibility in protein core design.
We have developed a computational approach for the design and prediction of hydrophobic cores that includes explicit backbone flexibility. The program consists of a two-stage combination of a genetic algorithm and monte carlo sampling using a torsional model of the protein. Backbone structures are evaluated either by a canonical force-field or a constraining potential that emphasizes the preser...
متن کاملBackbone and side-chain ordering in a small protein.
We investigate the relation between backbone and side-chain ordering in a small protein. For this purpose, we have performed multicanonical simulations of the villin headpiece subdomain HP-36, an often used toy model in protein studies. Concepts of circular statistics are introduced to analyze side-chain fluctuations. In contrast to earlier studies on homopolypeptides [Wei et al., J. Phys. Chem...
متن کاملTALI: Protein Structure Alignment Using Backbone Torsion Angles
This article introduces a novel protein structure alignment method (named TALI) based on protein backbone torsion angle instead of the more traditional distance matrix. Representing protein structure by a serial backbone torsion angles (φ, ψ), protein structure have a simple mapping relationship to protein sequence. Thus, TALI can naturally incorporate sequence information and sequence analysis...
