Modeling of Oligosaccharides within Glycoproteins from Free-Energy Landscapes
In spite of the abundance of glycoproteins in biological processes, relatively little three-dimensional structural data is available for glycan structures. Here, we study the structure and flexibility of the vast majority of mammalian oligosaccharides appearing in N- and O-glycosylated proteins using a bottom up approach. We report the conformational free-energy landscapes of all relevant glyco...
متن کاملFunnels in Energy Landscapes
Local minima and the saddle points separating them in the energy landscape are known to dominate the dynamics of biopolymer folding. Here we introduce a notion of a “folding funnel” that is concisely defined in terms of energy minima and saddle points, while at the same time conforming to a notion of a “folding funnel” as it is discussed in the protein folding literature. PACS. 87.10.+e General...
متن کاملModel Energy Landscapes
The multidimensional potential-energy “landscape” formalism offers useful insights into the properties of supercooled liquids and glasses. However, its mathematical fundamentals present formidable subtlety and complexity. In the interests of developing a useful approximation for the statistical mechanics of landscapes, we have developed a simple family of models describing the energy-depth dist...
متن کاملIntrinsically Disordered Energy Landscapes
Analysis of an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) reveals an underlying multifunnel structure for the energy landscape. We suggest that such 'intrinsically disordered' landscapes, with a number of very different competing low-energy structures, are likely to characterise IDPs, and provide a useful way to address their properties. In particular, IDPs are present in many cellular protein inte...
متن کاملRNA folding energy landscapes.
Using a statistical mechanical treatment, we study RNA folding energy landscapes. We first validate the theory by showing that, for the RNA molecules we tested having only secondary structures, this treatment (i) predicts about the same native structures as the Zuker method, and (ii) qualitatively predicts the melting curve peaks and shoulders seen in experiments. We then predict thermodynamic ...
