Dual folding pathways of an / protein from all-atom ab initio folding simulations
Successful ab initio folding of proteins with both -helix and -sheet requires a delicate balance among a variety of forces in the simulation model, which may explain that the successful folding of any / proteins to within experimental error has yet to be reported. Here we demonstrate that it is an achievable goal to fold / proteins with a force field emphasizing the balance between the two majo...
متن کاملAb initio RNA folding.
RNA molecules are essential cellular machines performing a wide variety of functions for which a specific three-dimensional structure is required. Over the last several years, the experimental determination of RNA structures through x-ray crystallography and NMR seems to have reached a plateau in the number of structures resolved each year, but as more and more RNA sequences are being discovere...
متن کاملDominant folding pathways of a peptide chain from ab initio quantum-mechanical simulations.
Using the dominant reaction pathways method, we perform an ab initio quantum-mechanical simulation of a conformational transition of a peptide chain. The method we propose makes it possible to investigate the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of these systems, without resorting to an empirical representation of the molecular force field. It also allows to study rare transitions involving rearrangemen...
متن کاملAb Initio Folding of Multiple-Chain Proteins
Our previous methodology for ab initio prediction of protein structure is extended here to treat multiple-chain proteins. This involved modification of our united-residue (UNRES) force field and our Conformational Space Annealing (CSA) Global Optimization procedure. Good results have been obtained for both a four- and a three-helix protein from the CASP3 exercise.
متن کاملSolvent effect on the folding dynamics and structure of E6-associated protein characterized from ab initio protein folding simulations.
Solvent effect on protein conformation and folding mechanism of E6-associated protein (E6ap) peptide are investigated using a recently developed charge update scheme termed as adaptive hydrogen bond-specific charge (AHBC). On the basis of the close agreement between the calculated helix contents from AHBC simulations and experimental results, we observed based on the presented simulations that ...
