Three-helix-bundle protein in a Ramachandran model.
We study the thermodynamic behavior of a model protein with 54 amino acids that forms a three-helix bundle in its native state. The model contains three types of amino acids and five to six atoms per amino acid and has the Ramachandran torsional angles phi(i), psi(i) as its degrees of freedom. The force field is based on hydrogen bonds and effective hydrophobicity forces. For a suitable choice ...
متن کاملFolding thermodynamics of a model three-helix-bundle protein.
The calculated folding thermodynamics of a simple off-lattice three-helix-bundle protein model under equilibrium conditions shows the experimentally observed protein transitions: a collapse transition, a disordered-to-ordered globule transition, a globule to native-state transition, and the transition from the active native state to a frozen inactive state. The cooperativity and physical origin...
متن کاملFolding of a model three-helix bundle protein: a thermodynamic and kinetic analysis.
The kinetics and thermodynamics of an off-lattice model for a three-helix bundle protein are investigated as a function of a bias gap parameter that determines the energy difference between native and non-native contacts. A simple dihedral potential is used to introduce the tendency to form right-handed helices. For each value of the bias parameter, 100 trajectories of up to one microsecond are...
متن کاملHelix-bundle membrane protein fold templates.
In the fold recognition approach to structure prediction, a sequence is tested for compatibility with an already known fold. For membrane proteins, however, few folds have been determined experimentally. Here the feasibility of computing the vast majority of likely membrane protein folds is tested. The results indicate that conformation space can be effectively sampled for small numbers of heli...
متن کاملA Native-Like Three-R-Helix Bundle Protein from Structure-Based Redesign: A Novel Maquette Scaffold
A uniquely structured 65 amino acid helix-loop-helix′-loop-helix′′ three-R-helix bundle, R3-1, was designed and chemically synthesized, using the crystallographically characterized three stranded coiled coil “Coil-Ser”, as a starting point. The circular dichroism spectrum of R3-1 has a typical R-helical signature, with a [θ]222 ) -22 600 deg‚cm2‚dmol-1, indicating a 80.5% R-helical content. Sed...
