Residual Structures, Conformational Fluctuations, and Electrostatic Interactions in the Synergistic Folding of Two Intrinsically Disordered Proteins
To understand the interplay of residual structures and conformational fluctuations in the interaction of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), we first combined implicit solvent and replica exchange sampling to calculate atomistic disordered ensembles of the nuclear co-activator binding domain (NCBD) of transcription coactivator CBP and the activation domain of the p160 steroid receptor coa...
متن کاملRole of Backbone Dipole Interactions in the Formation of Secondary and Supersecondary Structures of Proteins
We present a generic solvated coarse-grained protein model that can be used to characterize the driving forces behind protein folding. Each amino acid is coarse-grained with two beads, a backbone, and a side chain. Although the backbone beads are modeled as polar entities, side chains are hydrophobic, polar, or charged, thus allowing the exploration of how sequence patterning determines a prote...
متن کاملEvaluation of Models of Electrostatic Interactions in Proteins
The conformations of proteins and protein-protein complexes observed in nature must be low in free energy relative to alternative (not observed) conformations, and it is plausible (but not absolutely necessary) that the electrostatic free energies of experimentally observed conformations are also low relative to other conformations. Starting from this assumption, we evaluate alternative models ...
متن کاملDensity functional study of molecular interactions in secondary structures of proteins
Proteins play diverse and vital roles in biology, which are dominated by their three-dimensional structures. The three-dimensional structure of a protein determines its functions and chemical properties. Protein secondary structures, including α-helices and β-sheets, are key components of the protein architecture. Molecular interactions, in particular hydrogen bonds, play significant roles in t...
متن کاملFormation and stability of secondary structures in globular proteins
We study two models for the formation and packing of helices and sheets in globular (compact) proteins. These models, based on weighted Hamiltonian paths on a regular lattice both exhibit a first order transition between a compact high temperature phase, with no extended secondary structures, and a quasi-frozen compact phase, with secondary structures invading the whole lattice. The quasi-froze...
