Structures and relative free energies of partially folded states of proteins.
The ability of proteins to fold to well defined compact structures is one of the most remarkable examples of the effect of natural selection on biological molecules. To understand their properties, including the stability, the mechanism of folding, and the possibilities of misfolding and association, it is necessary to know the protein free energy landscape. We use NMR data as restraints in a M...
متن کاملCharacterisation of low free-energy excited states of folded proteins.
It is demonstrated that the identity of residues accessing excited conformational states that are of low free energy relative to the ground state in proteins can be obtained from amide proton NMR chemical shift temperature dependences displaying significant curvature. For the N-terminal domain of phosphoglycerate kinase, hen egg-white lysozyme and BPTI, conformational heterogeneity arises from ...

The nature of folded states of globular proteins.
We suggest, using dynamical simulations of a simple heteropolymer modelling the alpha-carbon sequence in a protein, that generically the folded states of globular proteins correspond to statistically well-defined metastable states. This hypothesis, called the metastability hypothesis, states that there are several free energy minima separated by barriers of various heights such that the folded ...
متن کاملMetastability of the folded states of globular proteins.
The possibility that several metastable minima exist in which the folded forms of a polypeptide chain have similar structural characteristics but different energies is suggested. The validity of this hypothesis is illustrated with the aid of simulation methods on a model protein that folds into a beta-barrel structure. Some implications of this hypothesis such as the existence of multiple pathw...
