Atomic Four - Body Statistical Potential for Macromolecular Structure Analysis
Over recent years, exponential growth of the Protein Data Bank (PDB) has facilitated selection of larger, nonredundant subsets of experimentally solved macromolecular structures at higher resolutions, which in turn have provided the data used in developing more effective knowledge-based statistical potentials for improved structure prediction. In contrast to physics-based energy functions, stat...
متن کاملContinuous anisotropic representation of coarse-grained potentials for proteins by spherical harmonics synthesis.
A new method is presented for extracting statistical potentials dependent on the relative side chain and backbone orientations in proteins. Coarse-grained, anisotropic potentials are constructed for short-, medium-, and long-range interactions using the Boltzmann method and a database of non-homologous protein structures. The new orientation-dependent potentials are analyzed using a spherical h...
متن کاملProtein modeling and structure prediction with a reduced representation.
Protein modeling could be done on various levels of structural details, from simplified lattice or continuous representations, through high resolution reduced models, employing the united atom representation, to all-atom models of the molecular mechanics. Here I describe a new high resolution reduced model, its force field and applications in the structural proteomics. The model uses a lattice ...

متن کاملIn quest of an empirical potential for protein structure prediction.
Key to successful protein structure prediction is a potential that recognizes the native state from misfolded structures. Recent advances in empirical potentials based on known protein structures include improved reference states for assessing random interactions, sidechain-orientation-dependent pair potentials, potentials for describing secondary or supersecondary structural preferences and, m...
