Protein folding: matching theory and experiment.
The impact of folding funnels and folding simulations on the way experimentalists interpret results is examined. The image of the transition state has changed from a unique species that has a strained configuration, with a correspondingly high free energy, to a more ordinary folding intermediate, whose balance between limited conformational entropy and stabilizing contacts places it at the top ...
متن کاملThe fundamentals of protein folding: bringing together theory and experiment.
Experimental and theoretical studies together are providing insights into the mechanism by which proteins fold. Our present knowledge of the essential aspects of the folding reaction is outlined and some approaches, both theoretical and experimental, that are being developed to obtain a more detailed understanding of this complex process are described.
متن کاملMatching Simulation and Experiment: a New Simpliied Model for Simulating Protein Folding (extended Abstract) a Simpliied Model for Protein Folding
Simulations of simpliied protein folding models have provided much insight into solving the protein folding problem. We propose here a new oo-lattice bead model, capable of simulating several diierent fold classes of small proteins. We present the sequence for an == protein resembling the IgG-binding proteins L and G. The thermodynamics of the folding process for this model are characterized us...
متن کاملTheory of protein folding.
Protein folding should be complex. Proteins organize themselves into specific three-dimensional structures, through a myriad of conformational changes. The classical view of protein folding describes this process as a nearly sequential series of discrete intermediates. In contrast, the energy landscape theory of folding considers folding as the progressive organization of an ensemble of partial...
متن کاملComplexity in Protein Folding: Simulation Meets Experiment
We review our joint experimental-theoretical effort on the folding of photo-switchable -helices. The folding kinetics of these peptides is profoundly non-exponential, which is attributed to a partitioning of the unfolded state into several misfolded traps. These traps are connected to the folded state in a hub-like fashion with folding barriers of different heights. Molecular dynamics simulatio...
