Enkephalin: conformational analysis by means of empirical energy calculations.
Low-energy conformations of methionine-enkephalin were generated by means of an empirical method of computation. Many compact conformations, including those containing various standard bends, were of comparable energy. However, one conformation was found to have a potential energy about 5 kcal/mol (21 X 10(3) J/mol) below that of the large group of compact conformations. In this conformation, t...
متن کاملDetermination of an Empirical Energy Function for Protein Conformational Analysis by Energy Embedding
It is quite easy to propose an empirical potential for conformational analysis such that given crystal structures lie near local minima. What is much more difficult, is to devise a function such that the native structure lies near a relatively deep local minimum, at least in some neighborhood of the native in conformation space. An algorithm is presented for finding such a potential acting on p...
متن کاملConformational analysis: A new approach by means of chemometrics
In conformational analysis, the systematic search method completely maps the space but suffers from the combinatorial explosion problem because the number of conformations increases exponentially with the number of free rotation angles. This study introduces a new methodology of conformational analysis that controls the combinatorial explosion. It is based on a dimensional reduction of the syst...
متن کاملConformational Transitions and Convergence of Absolute Binding Free Energy Calculations.
The Binding Energy Distribution Analysis Method (BEDAM) is employed to compute the standard binding free energies of a series of ligands to a FK506 binding protein (FKBP12) with implicit solvation. Binding free energy estimates are in reasonably good agreement with experimental affinities. The conformations of the complexes identified by the simulations are in good agreement with crystallograph...
متن کاملAnalysis of turbulent flows by means of the empirical eigenfunctions
The method of empirical eigenfunctions is developed in a general framework. In particular it is shown that the method of snapshots leads to the determination of the empirical eigenfunctions in any number of dimensions in terms of an equivalent one-dimensional problem. The methodology is discussed within the framework of some turbulent simulations and it is shown how this facilitates the flow an...
