Exploring RNA conformational space under sparse distance restraints
We show that the application of a small number of restraints predicted by coevolution analysis can provide a powerful restriction on the conformational freedom of an RNA molecule. The greatest degree of restriction occurs when a contact is predicted between the distal ends of a pair of adjacent stemloops but even with this location additional flexibilities in the molecule can mask the contribut...
متن کاملTorsionAnalyzer: exploring conformational space
Molecular conformations are used in a wide range of virtual screening applications to represent the conformational flexibility of a molecule. As the underlying conformational model has a major influence on the results of these applications, a closer insight into the conformational space of molecules is very important. We developed a new interactive graphical software tool for conformation analy...
متن کاملVISTRAJ: exploring protein conformational space
UNLABELLED VISTRAJ is an application which allows 3D visualization, manipulation and editing of protein conformational space using probabilistic maps of this space called 'trajectory distributions'. Trajectory distributions serve as input to FOLDTRAJ which samples protein structures based on the represented conformational space. VISTRAJ also allows FOLDTRAJ to be used as a tool for homology mod...
متن کاملConstraining ribosomal RNA conformational space
Despite the potential for many possible secondary-structure conformations, the native sequence of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is able to find the correct and universally conserved core fold. This study reports a computational analysis investigating two mechanisms that appear to constrain rRNA secondary-structure conformational space: ribosomal proteins and rRNA sequence composition. The analysis was c...
متن کاملExploring the conformational space of membrane protein folds matching distance constraints.
Herein we present a computational technique for generating helix-membrane protein folds matching a predefined set of distance constraints, such as those obtained from NMR NOE, chemical cross-linking, dipolar EPR, and FRET experiments. The purpose of the technique is to provide initial structures for local conformational searches based on either energetic considerations or ad-hoc scoring criteri...
