How optimization of potential functions affects protein folding.
The relationship between the optimization of the potential function and the foldability of theoretical protein models is studied based on investigations of a 27-mer cubic-lattice protein model and a more realistic lattice model for the protein crambin. In both the simple and the more complicated systems, optimization of the energy parameters achieves significant improvements in the statistical-...
متن کاملProtein folding potential functions
There has been a great deal of activity recently on approaches to the calculation of protein folding using specially devised empirical potential functions. We have developed one such function that solves the protein structure recognition problem: given the sequence for a globular protein and a collection of plausible protein conformations, including the native conformation for that sequence, id...
متن کاملLearning about protein folding via potential functions.
Over the last few years we have developed an empirical potential function that solves the protein structure recognition problem: given the sequence for an n-residue globular protein and a collection of plausible protein conformations, including the native conformation for that sequence, identify the correct, native conformation. Having determined this potential on the basis of only some 6500 na...
متن کاملEvolutionary Optimization of Protein Folding
Nature has shaped the make up of proteins since their appearance, [Formula: see text]3.8 billion years ago. However, the fundamental drivers of structural change responsible for the extraordinary diversity of proteins have yet to be elucidated. Here we explore if protein evolution affects folding speed. We estimated folding times for the present-day catalog of protein domains directly from thei...
