Elongation dynamics of amyloid fibrils: a rugged energy landscape picture.
Protein amyloid fibrils are a form of linear protein aggregates that are implicated in many neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we study the dynamics of amyloid fibril elongation by performing Langevin dynamic simulations on a coarse-grained model of peptides. Our simulation results suggest that the elongation process is dominated by a series of local minimum due to frustration in monomer-fibril ...
متن کاملMultiple probes are required to explore and control the rugged energy landscape of RNA hairpins.
Recent experiments show that the kinetics of hairpin formation in RNA or ss-DNA is best described as a multistep process,1 thus challenging the conventional premise that small nucleic acid hairpins fold in a two-state manner.2 Kinetic data from high-resolution ultrafast T-jump experiments show that metastable intermediates are populated.1 In contrast, single molecule force experiments showed th...
متن کاملEvolution in a rugged fitness landscape.
Kauuman's NK-model for genetic evolution and adaption is analysed for K = N ?1. In this case it describes adaptive walks on random tness landscapes, and its dynamics is equivalent to the Metropolis algorithm for Derrida's Random Energy Model at zero-temperature. We derive analytical expressions for the average length and duration of adaptive walks, and for the variance about these averages. The...
متن کاملIllusions of Significance in a Rugged Landscape
A great deal of academic research, particularly in the social sciences, makes an implicit assumption that the processes being investigated are largely decomposable, meaning that the effects of individual variables identified in one context are likely to be observed in other contexts as well. Many of the statistical tools employed in analyzing social science data, such as regression and structur...
متن کاملReflections on Researching the Rugged Fitness Landscape
The success of an informing system depends upon achieving a fit between multiple entities: the sender, the client, the delivery system, and the task to be performed. Conceptually, the effectiveness of such informing can be modeled as a fitness landscape—a function that maps the characteristics of the system into a scalar fitness value. The assumed shape of that landscape plays a major role in d...
