Phase Transitions in a Protein Folding Channel
In 2008 P. Nurse advocated the pursuit of biological phenomena through information processing. Along these lines, we aim to explain some of the salient characteristics of the mapping between amino acid sequences to protein folds through an information theoretic lens. To this end, we propose a protein folding channel that maps protein sequences into two-dimensional self-avoiding walks (also call...
متن کاملA protein model exhibiting three folding transitions
We explain the physical basis of a model for small globular proteins with water interactions. The water is supposed to access the protein interior in an “all-or-none” manner during the unfolding of the protein chain. As a consequence of this mechanism (somewhat speculative), the model exhibits fundamental aspects of protein thermodynamics, as cold, and warm unfolding of the polypeptide chain, a...
متن کاملMolecular Simulations of Cotranslational Protein Folding: Fragment Stabilities, Folding Cooperativity, and Trapping in the Ribosome
Although molecular simulation methods have yielded valuable insights into mechanistic aspects of protein refolding in vitro, they have up to now not been used to model the folding of proteins as they are actually synthesized by the ribosome. To address this issue, we report here simulation studies of three model proteins: chymotrypsin inhibitor 2 (CI2), barnase, and Semliki forest virus protein...
متن کاملUsing Protein Folding Rates to Test
The fastest simple, kinetically two-state protein folds a million times more rapidly than the slowest. Here we review many recent theories of protein folding kinetics in terms of their ability to qualitatively rationalize, if not quantitatively predict, this fundamental experimental observation. INTRODUCTION: TWO-STATE FOLDING RATES AS AN EXPERIMENTAL BENCHMARK Simple, single-domain proteins ty...
متن کاملLecture Title: Combining Simulations and Experiment to Characterize Protein Folding/unfolding at Atomic Resolution
Until recently, most enzymes known to human had been found by obtaining organisms or tissues and assaying them biochemically and genetically. This has traditionally been a slow process. With the advent of recombinant DNA technologies, new methods involving cloning and sequencing have changed this paradigm. Now that large quantities of DNA sequence are available it is possible to use quite sophi...
