An Ising-Like model for protein mechanical unfolding
The mechanical unfolding of proteins is investigated by extending the Wako-Saitô-Muñoz-Eaton model, a simplified protein model with binary degrees of freedom, which has proved successful in describing the kinetics of protein folding. Such a model is generalized by including the effect of an external force, and its thermodynamics turns out to be exactly solvable. We consider two molecules, the 2...
متن کاملProtein mechanical unfolding: a model with binary variables.
A simple model, recently introduced as a generalization of the Wako-Saito; model of protein folding, is used to investigate the properties of widely studied molecules under external forces. The equilibrium properties of the model proteins, together with their energy landscape, are studied on the basis of the exact solution of the model. Afterwards, the kinetic response of the molecules to a for...
متن کاملMechanical unfolding studies of protein molecules
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) enables the pick up of a single protein molecule to apply a mechanical force. This technique, called "force spectroscopy," provides unique information about the intermediates and free energy landscape of the mechanical unfolding of proteins. In this review, we introduce the AFM-based single molecule force spectroscopy of proteins and describe recent studies that an...
متن کاملβ-sheet-like formation during the mechanical unfolding of prion protein.
Single molecule experiments and simulations have been widely used to characterize the unfolding and folding pathways of different proteins. However, with few exceptions, these tools have not been applied to study prion protein, PrP(C), whose misfolded form PrP(Sc) can induce a group of fatal neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we apply novel atomistic modeling based on potential energy surface ex...
متن کاملAssociative Learning Using Ising-Like Model
In this paper, a new computational model of associative learning is proposed, which is based on the Ising model. Application of the stochastic gradient descent algorithm to the proposed model yields an on-line learning rule. Next, it is shown that the obtained new learning rule generalizes two well-known learning rules, i.e., the Hebbian rule and the Oja's rule. Later, the fashion of incorporat...
