A minimalistic all-atom approach to protein folding
(2003) In Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter 15(18). p.1797-1807- Abstract
- Using simple sequence-based potentials, the folding properties of a designed three-helix-bundle protein, an alpha-helix and a beta-hairpin are studied. The three-helix-bundle protein is modelled using 5-6 atoms per amino acid and is found to undergo a first-order-like folding transition in which chain collapse and helix formation cannot be separated, which is in-accord with experimental data. The other two sequences are studied using a model that contains all atoms and are indeed found to make an alpha-helix and a beta-hairpin, respectively, for exactly the same choice of parameters. The calculated melting curves are, moreover, in reasonable quantitative agreement with experimental data, for both peptides. The melting curves are found to... (More)
