Stretching lattice models of protein folding.
A new class of experiments that probe folding of individual protein domains uses mechanical stretching to cause the transition. We show how stretching forces can be incorporated in lattice models of folding. For fast folding proteins, the analysis suggests a complex relation between the force dependence and the reaction coordinate for folding.
متن کاملProtein Folding: Flexible Lattice Models
In the post genomic era a possibility of theoretical prediction of protein structure from sequence of amino acids is one of the most important and challenging goals of molecular biology. High complexity of the problem requires simplification of molecular models and very efficient computational tools. Proposed here model of protein structure, dynamics and interaction scheme assumes a single inte...
متن کاملFolding Properties in Off-Lattice Protein Models
The thermodynamic behavior of an oo-lattice model for protein folding is probed in two and three dimensions. The model has only two types of residues, hydrophobic and hydrophilic. Our ability to map out the thermodynamics of the oo-lattice models relies heavily upon the eeciency of the simulated tempering algorithm. In this approach, the temperature is a uctuating variable, enabling the crossin...
متن کاملProtein folding and models of dynamics on the lattice
We study folding in 16-monomer heteropolymers on the square lattice. For a given sequence, thermodynamic properties and stability of the native state are unique. However, the kinetics of folding depends on the model of dynamics adopted for the time evolution of the system. We consider three such models: Rouse-like dynamics with either single monomer moves or with single and double monomer moves...
متن کاملLattice models of protein folding permitting disordered native states
Self-avoiding lattice walks are often used as minimalist models of proteins. Typically, the polypeptide chain is represented as a lattice walk with each amino acid residue lying on a lattice point, and the Hamiltonian being a sum of interactions between pairs of sequentially nonadjacent residues on adjacent points. Interactions depend on the types of the two residues, and there are usually two ...
