Computational sidechain placement and protein mutagenesis with implicit solvent models.
Structure prediction and computational protein design should benefit from accurate solvent models. We have applied implicit solvent models to two problems that are central to this area. First, we performed sidechain placement for 29 proteins, using a solvent model that combines a screened Coulomb term with an Accessible Surface Area term (CASA model). With optimized parameters, the prediction q...
متن کاملRotational reorientation and isomerization of transstilbene
We have tested the validity of using solvent shear viscosity as a measure of friction involved in the dynamics of t-stilbene. The rotational reorientation and the isomerization in n-alkanes are considered. INTRODUCTION Ultrafast techniques have made it possible to investigate hydrodynamic theories in the picosecond regime. The photoisomerization of t-stilbene has been widely used to test the Kr...
متن کاملJ-Based 3D sidechain correlation in solid-state proteins.
Scalar-based three-dimensional homonuclear correlation experiments are reported for (13)C sidechain correlation in solid-state proteins. These experiments are based on a sensitive constant-time format, in which homonuclear scalar couplings are utilized for polarization transfer, but decoupled during chemical shift evolution, to yield highly resolved indirect dimensions and band selectivity as d...
متن کاملSolvent Effects on the Energetics of Prolyl Peptide Bond Isomerization.
Racemic Ac-Gly-[β,δ-(13)C]Pro-OMe was synthesized, and the kinetics and thermodynamics of the isomerization of its prolyl peptide bond were determined in nine solvents by using NMR and IR spectroscopy. The free energy of activation is 1.3 kcal/mol larger in water than in aprotic solvents, and correlates with the ability of a solvent to donate a hydrogen bond but not with solvent polarity. These...
متن کاملDynamic Solvent Effects in the Degenerate Isomerization of a Hexafluoroacetone Anil Studied by High-Pressure F NMR
The rate of the degenerate isomerization of A^-hexafluoroisopropylidene-V,V-dimethyl-/?-phenylenediamine was measured by high-pressure F NMR spectroscopy in a viscous hydrocarbon, 2,4-dicyclohexyl-2-methylpentane. Pressure-induced retardations that cannot be rationalized within the framework of the transition state theory (TST) were observed, and it was concluded that the reaction was cast into...
