Can protein unfolding simulate protein folding?
Since the discovery that the native structure of a globular protein can fold spontaneously (Anfinsen et al., 1961), numerous experimental and theoretical efforts have been made to elucidate folding pathways, intermediates, transition states, etc. (for recent reviews, see Bryngelson et al., 1995; Fersht, 1995, 1997; Karplus and Šali, 1995; Ptitsyn, 1995; Miranker and Dobson, 1996; Shakhnovich, 1...
متن کاملProtein Folding: An unfolding story
A unified and coherent picture for the mechanism of protein folding is emerging. The crucial factor in folding is the cooperativity of multiple interactions that is required for stability of the folded state.
متن کاملPressure-induced protein-folding/unfolding kinetics.
We use an off-lattice minimalist model to describe the effects of pressure in slowing down the folding/unfolding kinetics of proteins when subjected to increasingly larger pressures. The potential energy function used to describe the interactions between beads in the model includes the effects of pressure on the pairwise interaction of hydrophobic groups in water. We show that pressure affects ...
متن کاملProtein Folding and Unfolding at Atomic Resolution
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.
متن کاملProtein unfolding and folding by GroEL-GroES
Background: Chaperonins like the GroEL-GroES complex facilitate protein folding in the cell. Results: Substrate proteins are captured by the open, trans ring of the GroEL-ATP-GroES complex and are partially unfolded. Conclusion: Maximally efficient folding requires repeated cycles of substrate protein unfolding by the GroEL-GroES complex. Significance: Establishing how substrate proteins are pr...
