Preference of Small Molecules for Local Minimum Conformations when Binding to Proteins
It is well known that small molecules (ligands) do not necessarily adopt their lowest potential energy conformations when binding to proteins. Analyses of protein-bound ligand crystal structures have reportedly shown that many of them do not even adopt the conformations at local minima of their potential energy surfaces (local minimum conformations). The results of these analyses raise a concer...
متن کاملProtein folding by restrained energy minimization and molecular dynamics.
Native-like folded conformations of bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor protein are calculated by searching for conformations with the lowest possible potential energy. Twenty-five random starting structures are subjected to soft-atom restrained energy minimization with respect to both the torsion angles and the atomic Cartesian co-ordinates. The restraints used to limit the search include the ...
متن کاملLimitation of Conformational Space for Proteins – Early Stage Folding Simulation of Human Α and Β Hemoglobin Chains
The starting structure of ab initio protein structure prediction methods is problematic as the energy minimization procedure stops searching for an optimal structure of the function’s local minimum. The method presented in the paper helps to find the starting structure. Although it is based on the known native protein structure, it seems to deliver a key to the formation of a common universal s...
متن کاملLocal Minima-Based Exploration for O -Lattice Protein Folding
Proteins have speci c native folding structures, but without proper folding, these proteins function incorrectly and lead to disease. The major challenge lies in e ectively predicting such native conformations. We present a new and simple algorithmic approach to help predict protein structures from amino acid sequences based on energy minimization. In the search for the minimal energy conformat...
متن کاملMulti-Component-Multiphase Flash Calculations for Systems Containing Gas Hydrates by Direct Minimization of Gibbs Free Energy
The Michelsen stability and multiphase flash calculation by direct minimization of Gibbs free energy of the system at constant temperature and pressure, was used for systems containing gas hydrates. The solid hydrate phase was treated as a solid solution. The fugacities of all components of the hydrate phase were calculated as a function of compositions by the rearranged model of van der Wa...
