Electrostatic mechanism of nucleosomal array folding revealed by computer simulation.
Although numerous experiments indicate that the chromatin fiber displays salt-dependent conformations, the associated molecular mechanism remains unclear. Here, we apply an irregular Discrete Surface Charge Optimization (DiSCO) model of the nucleosome with all histone tails incorporated to describe by Monte Carlo simulations salt-dependent rearrangements of a nucleosomal array with 12 nucleosom...
متن کاملComputer modeling demonstrates that electrostatic attraction of nucleosomal DNA is mediated by histone tails.
We conducted molecular dynamics computer simulations of charged histone tail-DNA interactions in systems mimicking nucleosome core particles (NCP) . In a coarse-grained model, the NCP is modeled as a negatively charged spherical particle with flexible polycationic histone tails attached to it in a dielectric continuum with explicit mobile counterions and added salt. The size, charge, and distri...
متن کاملDetermine folding mechanism of Lali structure, northern Dezful, Zagros, Iran
Lali sub-surface structure, with a NW-SE Zagros trending is located in Dezful Embayment. To determine the folding mechanism, structural geometric parameters including limbs dip, amplitude, wavelength, and crestal length were determined in four stages during deformation. In order to investigate the lateral folding mechanism, these geometric parameters were analyzed in three parts in the Lal...
متن کاملComputer simulation of the folding of c’oiled coils
A simple model capable of providing possible folding pathways of two stranded, coiled coil peptides is described and simulated using an off-lattice dynamic Monte Carlo algorithm. Short sequences of very regular repetitive blocks of amino acids are studied. The regularity of the sequence is enhanced by a simplified interaction scale between pairs of residues. Following the transition from two is...
متن کاملLow folding cooperativity of HP35 revealed by single-molecule force spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulation.
Some small proteins, such as HP35, fold at submicrosecond timescale with low folding cooperativity. Although these proteins have been extensively investigated, still relatively little is known about their folding mechanism. Here, using single-molecule force spectroscopy and steered molecule dynamics simulation, we study the unfolding of HP35 under external force. Our results show that HP35 unfo...
