Single-molecule mechanical unfolding and folding of a pseudoknot in human telomerase RNA.
RNA unfolding and folding reactions in physiological conditions can be facilitated by mechanical force one molecule at a time. By using force-measuring optical tweezers, we studied the mechanical unfolding and folding of a hairpin-type pseudoknot in human telomerase RNA in a near-physiological solution, and at room temperature. Discrete two-state folding transitions of the pseudoknot are seen a...
متن کاملBiphasic folding kinetics of RNA pseudoknots and telomerase RNA activity.
Using a combined master equation and kinetic cluster approach, we investigate RNA pseudoknot folding and unfolding kinetics. The energetic parameters are computed from a recently developed Vfold model for RNA secondary structure and pseudoknot folding thermodynamics. The folding kinetics theory is based on the complete conformational ensemble, including all the native-like and non-native states...
متن کاملAbsence of reptation in the high-temperature folding of the trpzip2 beta-hairpin peptide.
We have carried out extensive all atom explicit solvent simulations of the high-temperature folding and unfolding of the trpzip2 beta-hairpin peptide and examined the resulting trajectories for evidence of folding via a reptation mechanism. Over 300 microcanonical simulations of 10 ns each were initiated from a Boltzmann ensemble of conformations at 425 K. Though we observed numerous folding an...
متن کاملThermodynamics and kinetics of the hairpin ribozyme from atomistic folding/unfolding simulations.
We report a set of atomistic folding/unfolding simulations for the hairpin ribozyme using a Monte Carlo algorithm. The hairpin ribozyme folds in solution and catalyzes self-cleavage or ligation via a specific two-domain structure. The minimal active ribozyme has been studied extensively, showing stabilization of the active structure by cations and dynamic motion of the active structure. Here, w...
متن کاملMechanical unfolding of a beta-hairpin using molecular dynamics.
Single-molecule mechanical unfolding experiments have the potential to provide insights into the details of protein folding pathways. To investigate the relationship between force-extension unfolding curves and microscopic events, we performed molecular dynamics simulations of the mechanical unfolding of the C-terminal hairpin of protein G. We have studied the dependence of the unfolding pathwa...
