Sampling Realistic Protein Conformations Using Local Structural Bias
The prediction of protein structure from sequence remains a major unsolved problem in biology. The most successful protein structure prediction methods make use of a divide-and-conquer strategy to attack the problem: a conformational sampling method generates plausible candidate structures, which are subsequently accepted or rejected using an energy function. Conceptually, this often correspond...
متن کاملSampling protein conformations and pathways
Protein flexibility and rigidity can be analyzed using constraint theory, which views proteins as 3D networks of constraints involving covalent bonds and also including hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds. This article describes an algorithm, ROCK (Rigidity Optimized Conformational Kinetics), which generates new conformations for these complex networks with many interlocked rings while ...
متن کاملExploring structural variability in X-ray crystallographic models using protein local optimization by torsion-angle sampling.
Modeling structural variability is critical for understanding protein function and for modeling reliable targets for in silico docking experiments. Because of the time-intensive nature of manual X-ray crystallographic refinement, automated refinement methods that thoroughly explore conformational space are essential for the systematic construction of structurally variable models. Using five pro...
متن کاملUsing Local States To Drive the Sampling of Global Conformations in Proteins
Conformational changes associated with protein function often occur beyond the time scale currently accessible to unbiased molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, so that different approaches have been developed to accelerate their sampling. Here we investigate how the knowledge of backbone conformations preferentially adopted by protein fragments, as contained in precalculated libraries known as ...
متن کاملSampling experimentally observed ring conformations during protein-ligand docking
Successful protein-ligand docking depends upon two factors: exhaustive exploration of search space and effective scoring. In this case study we explore the improvements that can be gained in both pose prediction and scoring by applying two different algorithms to explore conformational space of flexible rings. The first algorithm, ring corner flipping 2 has been part of GOLD since its inception...
