Protein energy landscape roughness.
The 'new view' of proteins sees protein reactions as parallel processes occurring along funnelled energy landscapes. These landscapes are generally not smooth, but are superimposed by hills and valleys of different heights and widths leading to roughness on the energy surface. In the present paper, we describe the origins of protein energy landscape roughness, measurements of its scale and its ...
متن کاملEnergy Landscape Analysis of Protein Dimers
Many cellular functions are carried out by proteins that are bound together in multiprotein complexes. The binding between two highly flexible proteins to form homodimers is studied here using energy landscape theory and simulations based on a perfectly funneled energy landscape. With the aim to survey the range of binding mechanisms, two sets of homodimers were selected based on the experiment...
متن کاملEnergy landscape theory for cotranslational protein folding
Abstract Energy landscape theory describes how a full-length protein can attain its native fold after sampling only a tiny fraction of all possible structures. Although protein folding is now understood to be concomitant with synthesis on the ribosome there have been few attempts to modify energy landscape theory by accounting for cotranslational folding. This paper introduces a model for cotra...
متن کاملEnergy landscape in protein folding and unfolding.
We use (1)H NMR to probe the energy landscape in the protein folding and unfolding process. Using the scheme ⇄ reversible unfolded (intermediate) → irreversible unfolded (denatured) state, we study the thermal denaturation of hydrated lysozyme that occurs when the temperature is increased. Using thermal cycles in the range 295 < T < 365 K and following different trajectories along the protein e...
متن کاملEnergy landscape of knotted protein folding.
Recent experiments have conclusively shown that proteins are able to fold from an unknotted, denatured polypeptide to the knotted, native state without the aid of chaperones. These experiments are consistent with a growing body of theoretical work showing that a funneled, minimally frustrated energy landscape is sufficient to fold small proteins with complex topologies. Here, we present a theor...
