How does the first water shell fold proteins so fast?
First shells of hydration and bulk solvent play a crucial role in the folding of proteins. Here, the role of water in the dynamics of proteins has been investigated using a theoretical protein-solvent model and a statistical physics approach. We formulate a hydration model where the hydrogen bonds between water molecules pertaining to the first shell of the protein conformation may be either ma...
متن کاملWater Transporters: How So Fast Yet So Selective?
A high-resolution X-ray structure of an aquaporin has revealed water molecules bound within the transmembrane pore and provided new clues to the mechanisms of rapid water transport and high selectivity in this important class of membrane proteins.
متن کاملHow fast fast-folding proteins fold in silico.
In reported microcanonical molecular dynamics simulations, fast-folding proteins CLN025 and Trp-cage autonomously folded to experimentally determined native conformations. However, the folding times of these proteins derived from the simulations were more than 4-10 times longer than their experimental values. This article reports autonomous folding of CLN025 and Trp-cage in isobaric-isothermal ...
متن کاملSo How Does the Mind Work?
In my book How the Mind Works, I defended the theory that the human mind is a naturally selected system of organs of computation. Jerry Fodor claims that ‘the mind doesn’t work that way’ (in a book with that title) because (1) Turing Machines cannot duplicate humans’ ability to perform abduction (inference to the best explanation); (2) though a massively modular system could succeed at abductio...
متن کاملHow Fast Does a Signal Propagate through Proteins?
As the molecular basis of signal propagation in the cell, proteins are regulated by perturbations, such as mechanical forces or ligand binding. The question arises how fast such a signal propagates through the protein molecular scaffold. As a first step, we have investigated numerically the dynamics of force propagation through a single (Ala)[Formula: see text] protein following a sudden increa...
