Thermodynamic Principle Revisited: Theory of Protein Folding
Anfinsen’s thermodynamic hypothesis is reviewed and misunderstandings are clarified. It really should be called the thermodynamic principle of protein folding. Energy landscape is really just the mathematical graph of the Gibbs free energy function ( ) X; , N G U E , a very high dimensional hyper surface. Without knowing it any picture of the Gibbs free energy landscape has no theoretical base,...
متن کاملQuantitative thermodynamic model for globular protein folding
We present a statistical mechanics formalism for theoretical description of the process of protein folding ↔ unfolding transition in water environment. The formalism is based on the construction of the partition function of a protein obeying two-stage-like folding kinetics. Using the statistical mechanics model of solvation of hydrophobic hydrocarbons we obtain the partition function of infinit...
متن کاملDynamical-Parameter Algorithms for Protein Folding
Two different dynamical-parameter algortihms are discussed, simulated tempering and the multisequence method. Using simulated tempering, the folding properties of 300 random sequences in a simple off-lattice model with only two amino-acid types, hydrophobic and hydrophilic, are investigated. A careful statistical analysis shows that the hydrophobic monomers are anticorrelated along the chains f...
متن کاملIs stoichiometry-driven protein folding getting out of thermodynamic control?
The views on protein folding have evolved from simple force-driven folding (3), i.e., the sum of many different small interactions (such as van der Waals interactions, hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds, electrostatic interactions and ion pairs), to complex, free energy-driven “folding funnel” model (4) based on the energy landscape theory of protein folding (5). The latter is essentially...
متن کاملA statistical analysis of RNA folding algorithms through thermodynamic parameter perturbation
Computational RNA secondary structure prediction is rather well established. However, such prediction algorithms always depend on a large number of experimentally measured parameters. Here, we study how sensitive structure prediction algorithms are to changes in these parameters. We found already that for changes corresponding to the actual experimental error to which these parameters have been...
