Cellular folding pathway of a metastable serpin.
Although proteins generally fold to their thermodynamically most stable state, some metastable proteins populate higher free energy states. Conformational changes from metastable higher free energy states to lower free energy states with greater stability can then generate the work required to perform physiologically important functions. However, how metastable proteins fold to these higher fre...
متن کاملSerpin latency transition at atomic resolution.
Protease inhibition by serpins requires a large conformational transition from an active, metastable state to an inactive, stable state. Similar reactions can also occur in the absence of proteases, and these latency transitions take hours, making their time scales many orders of magnitude larger than are currently accessible using conventional molecular dynamics simulations. Using a variationa...

متن کاملProtein Folding and Unfolding at Atomic Resolution
Experiment and simulation are now conspiring to give atomic-level descriptions of protein folding relevant to folding, misfolding, trafficking, and degradation in the cell. We are on the threshold of predicting those protein folding events using simulation that has been carefully benchmarked by experiment.
متن کاملMechanism of RNA double helix-propagation at atomic resolution.
The conversion of a nucleic acid from single strands to double strands is thought to involve slow nucleation followed by fast double-strand propagation. Here, for RNA double-strand propagation, we propose an atomic resolution reaction mechanism. This mechanism, called the stack-ratchet, is based on data-mining of three-dimensional structures and on available thermodynamic information. The stack...
