Monte Carlo simulations of protein folding under confining potentials
We present a theoretical investigation of the folding of small proteins assisted by chaperones. We describe the proteins in the framework of an effective potential model which contains the Ramachandran angles as degrees of freedom. The cage of chaperonins is modeled by an external confining potential which is also able to take into account hydrophobic and hydrophilic effects inside the cavity. ...
متن کاملOn the transferability of folding and threading potentials and sequence-independent filters for protein folding simulations
Significant progress has recently been made in de novo protein structure prediction. The Rosetta method by Baker and colleagues, which is based on the idea of assembling putative models from a library of k-mer fragments derived from known three-dimensional protein structures, proved to be particularly successful. Critical components of the Rosetta approach are various sequence-dependent as well...
متن کاملCoarse Grain Parallel Finite Element Simulations for Incompressible Flows
Parallel simulation of incompressible fluid flows is considered on networks of homogeneous workstations. Coarse-grain parallelization of a Taylor–Galerkin/pressure–correction finite element algorithm are discussed, taking into account network communication costs. The main issues include the parallelization of system assembly, and iterative and direct solvers, that are of common interest to fini...
متن کاملCoarse-grain modelling of protein-protein interactions.
Here, we review recent advances towards the modelling of protein-protein interactions (PPI) at the coarse-grained (CG) level, a technique that is now widely used to understand protein affinity, aggregation and self-assembly behaviour. PPI models of soluble proteins and membrane proteins are separately described, but we note the parallel development that is present in both research fields with t...
متن کاملSimulations of Protein Folding
A protein is a linear chain of amino acids. The proteins of natural living organisms are composed of 20 different types of amino acids. A typical protein is a polymer of 300 amino acids, of which there are 20 = 2× 10 different possibilities. The human body uses about 80,000 different proteins for most of its functionality, including structure, communication, transport, and catalysis. The order ...
