Protein Folding and Unfolding at Atomic Resolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
Experiment and simulation are now conspiring to give atomic-level descriptions of protein folding relevant to folding, misfolding, trafficking, and degradation in the cell. We are on the threshold of predicting those protein folding events using simulation that has been carefully benchmarked by experiment.

Interaction Networks in Protein Folding via Atomic-Resolution Experiments and Long-Time-Scale Molecular Dynamics Simulations
The integration of atomic-resolution experimental and computational methods offers the potential for elucidating key aspects of protein folding that are not revealed by either approach alone. Here, we combine equilibrium NMR measurements of thermal unfolding and long molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the folding of gpW, a protein with two-state-like, fast folding dynamics and cooper...

متن کاملComputational analysis of unfolding and folding pathways of proteins from amide proton exchange
The exchange rate of amide proton is dependent on primary sequence of amino acids, pH and temperature. A novel computational program has been developed to predict the exchange rates of amide protons in a protein and their relationship with unfolding and folding has been analyzed. The structure -function relationship of proteins can be well probed at atomic level resolution using Hydrogen deuter...
متن کاملHow do chemical denaturants affect the mechanical folding and unfolding of proteins?
We present the first single-molecule atomic force microscopy study on the effect of chemical denaturants on the mechanical folding/unfolding kinetics of a small protein GB1 (the B1 immunoglobulin-binding domain of protein G from Streptococcus). Upon increasing the concentration of the chemical denaturant guanidinium chloride (GdmCl), we observed a systematic decrease in the mechanical stability...
متن کاملSynergy between simulation and experiment in describing the energy landscape of protein folding.
Experimental data from protein engineering studies and NMR spectroscopy have been used by theoreticians to develop algorithms for helix propensity and to benchmark computer simulations of folding pathways and energy landscapes. Molecular dynamic simulations of the unfolding of chymotrypsin inhibitor 2 (CI2) have provided detailed structural models of the transition state ensemble for unfolding/...
