Predicting protein dynamics from structural ensembles.
The biological properties of proteins are uniquely determined by their structure and dynamics. A protein in solution populates a structural ensemble of metastable configurations around the global fold. From overall rotation to local fluctuations, the dynamics of proteins can cover several orders of magnitude in time scales. We propose a simulation-free coarse-grained approach which utilizes kno...
متن کاملAllosteric Communication in Myosin V: From Small Conformational Changes to Large Directed Movements
The rigor to post-rigor transition in myosin, a consequence of ATP binding, plays an essential role in the Lymn-Taylor functional cycle because it results in the dissociation of the actomyosin complex after the powerstroke. On the basis of the X-ray structures of myosin V, we have developed a new normal mode superposition model for the transition path between the two states. Rigid-body motions ...
متن کاملQuantitative Comparison of Conformational Ensembles
A number of measures have been used in the structural biology literature to compare the shapes or conformations of biological macromolecules. However, the issue of how to compare two ensembles of conformations has received far less attention. Herein, the problem of how to quantitatively compare two such ensembles is addressed in several different ways using concepts from probability and informa...
متن کاملConformational Ensembles in GPCR Activation
Recent advances in G-protein-coupled receptor structural biology have provided only limited insight into the active conformations of these key signaling molecules. A paper from Nygaard et al. reveals the dynamic nature of GPCRs along the activation pathway by complementing NMR experiments with ultralong-timescale molecular dynamics simulations.
متن کاملAgonism/antagonism switching in allosteric ensembles.
Ligands for several transcription factors can act as agonists under some conditions and antagonists under others. The structural and molecular bases of such effects are unknown. Previously, we demonstrated how the folding of intrinsically disordered (ID) protein sequences, in particular, and population shifts, in general, could be used to mediate allosteric coupling between different functional...
