Quantitative prediction of protein-protein binding affinity with a potential of mean force considering volume correction.
Quantitative prediction of protein-protein binding affinity is essential for understanding protein-protein interactions. In this article, an atomic level potential of mean force (PMF) considering volume correction is presented for the prediction of protein-protein binding affinity. The potential is obtained by statistically analyzing X-ray structures of protein-protein complexes in the Protein ...
متن کاملA scoring function based on solvation thermodynamics for protein structure prediction
We predict protein structure using our recently developed free energy function for describing protein stability, which is focused on solvation thermodynamics. The function is combined with the current most reliable sampling methods, i.e., fragment assembly (FA) and comparative modeling (CM). The prediction is tested using 11 small proteins for which high-resolution crystal structures are availa...
متن کاملOrientation-dependent potential of mean force for protein folding.
We present a solvent-implicit minimalistic model potential among the amino acid residues of proteins, obtained by using the known native structures [deposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB)]. In this model, the amino acid side chains are represented by a single ellipsoidal site, defined by the group of atoms about the center of mass of the side chain. These ellipsoidal sites interact with other...
متن کاملQuantitative theory of hydrophobic effect as a driving force of protein structure.
Various studies suggest that the hydrophobic effect plays a major role in driving the folding of proteins. In the past, however, it has been challenging to translate this understanding into a predictive, quantitative theory of how the full pattern of sequence hydrophobicity in a protein shapes functionally important features of its tertiary structure. Here, we extend and apply such a phenomenol...
متن کاملResidue-residue mean-force potentials for protein structure recognition.
We present two new sets of energy functions for protein structure recognition, given the primary sequence of amino acids along the polypeptide chain. The first set of potentials is based on the positions of alpha- and the second on positions of beta- and alpha-carbon atoms of amino acid residues. The potentials are derived using a theory of Boltzmann-like statistics of protein structure. The en...
