Mapping transiently formed and sparsely populated conformations on a complex energy landscape
Determining the structures, kinetics, thermodynamics and mechanisms that underlie conformational exchange processes in proteins remains extremely difficult. Only in favourable cases is it possible to provide atomic-level descriptions of sparsely populated and transiently formed alternative conformations. Here we benchmark the ability of enhanced-sampling molecular dynamics simulations to determ...
متن کاملConformational selection and adaptation to ligand binding in T4 lysozyme cavity mutants.
The studies presented here explore the relationship between protein packing and molecular flexibility using ligand-binding cavity mutants of T4 lysozyme. Although previously reported crystal structures of the mutants investigated show single conformations that are similar to the WT protein, site-directed spin labeling in solution reveals additional conformational substates in equilibrium exchan...
متن کاملProbing Protein Multidimensional Conformational Fluctuations by Single-Molecule Multiparameter Photon Stamping Spectroscopy
Conformational motions of proteins are highly dynamic and intrinsically complex. To capture the temporal and spatial complexity of conformational motions and further to understand their roles in protein functions, an attempt is made to probe multidimensional conformational dynamics of proteins besides the typical one-dimensional FRET coordinate or the projected conformational motions on the one...
متن کاملMeasurement of slow (micros-ms) time scale dynamics in protein side chains by (15)N relaxation dispersion NMR spectroscopy: application to Asn and Gln residues in a cavity mutant of T4 lysozyme.
A new NMR experiment is presented for the measurement of micros-ms time scale dynamics of Asn and Gln side chains in proteins. Exchange contributions to the (15)N line widths of side chain residues are determined via a relaxation dispersion experiment in which the effective nitrogen transverse relaxation rate is measured as a function of the number of refocusing pulses in constant-time, variabl...
متن کاملCavity as a source of conformational fluctuation and high-energy state: high-pressure NMR study of a cavity-enlarged mutant of T4 lysozyme.
Although the structure, function, conformational dynamics, and controlled thermodynamics of proteins are manifested by their corresponding amino acid sequences, the natural rules for molecular design and their corresponding interplay remain obscure. In this study, we focused on the role of internal cavities of proteins in conformational dynamics. We investigated the pressure-induced responses f...
