Two-dimensional stimulated resonance Raman spectroscopy study of the Trp-cage peptide folding.

چکیده
We report a combined molecular dynamics (MD) and ab initio simulation study of the ultrafast broadband ultraviolet (UV) stimulated resonance Raman (SRR) spectra of the Trp-cage mini protein. Characteristic two dimensional (2D) SRR features of various folding states are identified. Structural fluctuations erode the cross peaks and the correlation between diagonal peaks is a good indicator of the α-helix formation.

UV-resonance raman thermal unfolding study of Trp-cage shows that it is not a simple two-state miniprotein.
Trp-cage, a synthetic 20 residue polypeptide, is proposed to be an ultrafast folding synthetic miniprotein which utilizes tertiary contacts to define its native conformation. We utilized UV resonance Raman spectroscopy (UVRS) with 204 and 229 nm excitation to follow its thermal melting. Our results indicate that Trp-cage melting is complex, and it is not a simple two-state process. Using 204 nm...

متن کاملSignatures of the Protein Folding Pathway in Two-Dimensional Ultraviolet Spectroscopy
The function of protein relies on their folding to assume the proper structure. Probing the structural variations during the folding process is crucial for understanding the underlying mechanism. We present a combined quantum mechanics/molecular dynamics simulation study that demonstrates how coherent resonant nonlinear ultraviolet spectra can be used to follow the fast folding dynamics of a mi...
متن کاملElucidating Peptide and Protein Structure and Dynamics: UV Resonance Raman Spectroscopy.
UV resonance Raman spectroscopy (UVRR) is a powerful method that has the requisite selectivity and sensitivity to incisively monitor biomolecular structure and dynamics in solution. In this perspective, we highlight applications of UVRR for studying peptide and protein structure and the dynamics of protein and peptide folding. UVRR spectral monitors of protein secondary structure, such as the A...
متن کاملFolding Trp-cage to NMR resolution native structure using a coarse-grained model
We develop a coarse-grained protein model with a simplified amino acid interaction potential. We perform discrete molecular dynamics folding simulations of a small 20 residue protein – Trp-cage – from a fully extended conformation. We demonstrate the ability of the Trp-cage model to consistently reach conformations within 2Å backbone root-mean-square distance (RMSD) from the corresponding NMR s...
