Predicting protein folding pathways
A structured folding pathway, which is a time ordered sequence of folding events, plays an important role in the protein folding process and hence, in the conformational search. Pathway prediction, thus gives more insight into the folding process and is a valuable guiding tool to search the conformation space. In this paper, we propose a novel 'unfolding' approach to predict the folding pathway...
متن کاملModeling Protein Folding Pathways
Proteins fold through a series of intermediate states called a pathway. Protein folding pathways have been modeled using either simulations or a heirarchy of statistical models. Here we present a series of related statistical models that attempt to predict early, middle and late intermediates along the folding pathway. Isites motifs are discrete models for folding initiation sites. HMMSTR is a ...
متن کاملDisulfide-linked protein folding pathways.
Determining the mechanism by which proteins attain their native structure is an important but difficult problem in basic biology. The study of protein folding is difficult because it involves the identification and characterization of folding intermediates that are only very transiently present. Disulfide bond formation is thermodynamically linked to protein folding. The availability of thiol t...
متن کاملDominant pathways in protein folding.
We present a method to investigate the kinetics of protein folding and the dynamics underlying the formation of secondary and tertiary structures during the entire reaction. By writing the solution of the Fokker-Planck equation in terms of a path integral, we derive a Hamilton-Jacobi variational principle from which we are able to compute the most probable pathway of folding. The method is appl...
متن کاملNetwork Structure of Protein Folding Pathways
The classical approach to protein folding inspired by statistical mechanics avoids the high dimensional structure of the conformation space by using effective coordinates. Here we introduce a network approach to capture the statistical properties of the structure of conformation spaces. Conformations are represented as nodes of the network, while links are transitions via elementary rotations a...
