Predicting protein hinge motions and allostery using rigidity theory
Understanding how a 3-D structure of a protein functions depends on predicting which regions are rigid, and which are flexible. One recent approach models molecules as a structure of fixed units (atoms with their bond angles as rigid units, bonds as hinges) plus biochemical constraints coming from the local geometry [6, 13]. This generates a ’molecular graph’ in the theory of combinatorial rigi...
متن کاملModulation of Global Low-Frequency Motions Underlies Allosteric Regulation: Demonstration in CRP/FNR Family Transcription Factors
Allostery is a fundamental process by which ligand binding to a protein alters its activity at a distinct site. There is growing evidence that allosteric cooperativity can be communicated by modulation of protein dynamics without conformational change. The mechanisms, however, for communicating dynamic fluctuations between sites are debated. We provide a foundational theory for how allostery ca...
متن کاملAllostery in a coarse-grained model of protein dynamics.
We propose a criterion for optimal parameter selection in coarse-grained models of proteins and develop a refined elastic network model (ENM) of bovine trypsinogen. The unimodal density-of-states distribution of the trypsinogen ENM disagrees with the bimodal distribution obtained from an all-atom model; however, the bimodal distribution is recovered by strengthening interactions between atoms t...
متن کاملDesign and evaluate alginate nanoparticles as a protein delivery system
In recent years, encapsulation of drugs and antigens in hydrogels, specifically in calcium alginate particles, is an interesting and practical technique that was developed widespread. It is well known that alginate solution, under proper conditions, can form suitable nanoparticles as a promising carrier system, for vaccine delivery. The aim of this study was to synthesis alginate nanoparticles ...
متن کاملDynamically Driven Protein Allostery Exhibits Disparate Responses for Fast and Slow Motions.
There is considerable interest in the dynamic aspect of allosteric action, and in a growing list of proteins allostery has been characterized as being mediated predominantly by a change in dynamics, not a transition in conformation. For considering conformational dynamics, a protein molecule can be simplified into a number of relatively rigid microdomains connected by joints, corresponding to, ...
