Automated minimization of steric clashes in protein structures.
Molecular modeling of proteins including homology modeling, structure determination, and knowledge-based protein design requires tools to evaluate and refine three-dimensional protein structures. Steric clash is one of the artifacts prevalent in low-resolution structures and homology models. Steric clashes arise due to the unnatural overlap of any two nonbonding atoms in a protein structure. Us...
متن کاملOn the role of steric clashes in methylation control of restriction endonuclease activity
Restriction-modification systems digest non-methylated invading DNA, while protecting host DNA against the endonuclease activity by methylation. It is widely believed that the methylated DNA would not 'fit' into the binding site of the endonuclease in the productive orientation, and thus steric clashes should account for most of the protection. We test this concept statistically by grafting met...
متن کاملProtein inherent structures by different minimization strategies
Network-based methods provide an accurate description of the free-energy landscape of peptides and proteins sampled by molecular dynamics simulations. To that end, it is necessary to group the individual snapshots in a meaningful way. The inherent structures (ISs) provide an appropriate discretization of the trajectory into microstates, avoiding problems that can arise in clustering algorithms ...
متن کاملRNABC: forward kinematics to reduce all-atom steric clashes in RNA backbone.
Although accurate details in RNA structure are of great importance for understanding RNA function, the backbone conformation is difficult to determine, and most existing RNA structures show serious steric clashes (>or= 0.4 A overlap) when hydrogen atoms are taken into account. We have developed a program called RNABC (RNA Backbone Correction) that performs local perturbations to search for alte...
متن کاملSteric clashes with bound OMP peptides activate the DegS stress-response protease.
Escherichia coli senses envelope stress using a signaling cascade initiated when DegS cleaves a transmembrane inhibitor of a transcriptional activator for response genes. Each subunit of the DegS trimer contains a protease domain and a PDZ domain. During stress, unassembled outer-membrane proteins (OMPs) accumulate in the periplasm and their C-terminal peptides activate DegS by binding to its P...
