  1. Protein Structure Tertiary structure determination Evaluation Comparison Supplemental primer on protein structure: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/About/primer/molecularmod.html Reading: Chapter 13 BIO520 Bioinformatics Jim Lund

  2. X-ray crystallography Nobel prizes: Perutz and Kendrew,1962 (myoglobin) MacKinnon 2002 (ion channels) Kornberg, 2006 (ribosome) requires crystals NMR methods Nobel prize 2002, Kurt Wüthrich <30kD Protein Structure3D Determination

  3. Purify protein Crystallize protein Test an array of conditions to determine which give good quality crystals. X-ray diffraction Compute atom locations (C, N, O, S) Relax structure computationally (energy minimization) X-ray crystallography

  4. X-ray crystallography

  5. X-ray crystallography

  6. X-ray crystallography

  7. Isotopically label protein NMR: NOEs, J-coupling constants measurements give structural constraints Compute structures using constraints. Relax structure computationally (energy minimization) NMR Structure Determination

  8. Local environment of an atom alters the emitted radio frequency The exact B field that a given nucleus “feels” is dependent on the shielding(s): - the chemical nature of bonded atoms - the dihedral angle - the presence of other local fields (ring currents in aromatic groups) - paramagnetic centers (unpaired e-) - the chemical shift (in Hz) depends on Bo and is small compared to the Larmour freq.

  9. NMR data

  10. Protein Structure Elucidation via NMR Structure Calculation – simulated annealing Fold up random conformation to minimize violations of constraints.

  11. Degree of folding (folded, partially folded, unfolded) and kind of fold (primarily alpha-helix or beta-sheet) of a protein independent from a biological test of activity. Optimization of conditions such as pH, temperature, salt concentration etc. for best solubility, folding, least aggregation etc in short time. With 15N-labelling (not radioactive!) counting of folded/unfolded residues becomes possible; this might help to determine domain borders more accurately when cloning protein domains. Binding studies are possible with and without isotope labeling. Ligand conformations can be determined. Reaction products or intermediates can be investigated. Folding and unfolding studies for slow kinetics (ms - sec - min) are possible, e.g. with H/D-exchange experiments or stopped-flow deuterium-pulse-experiments. Dynamics-investigations yield information on the degree of oligomerization (monomer/dimer/...) as well as mobility of active sites of the protein. Applications of NMR

  12. Torsion angles in disallowed Ramachandran plot regions Maximize H-bonding Minimize exposed hydrophobic side chains Maximize exposed polar/charged side chains Holes->bad Minimize distorted H-bonds, distorted helix angles Low R-factor (X-ray structure), low backbone RMSD (NMR) Structure Evaluation

  13. DSSP Identify secondary struct, solvent accessibility (buried or surface aa) PROCHECK Calculates torsion angles, bond angles, interatomic distances VADAR (Volume, Area, Dihedral Angle Reporter) Classifies secondary struct, salt bridges Solvent accessibility (buried or surface aa), buried charge Structure Evaluation Programs

  15. Align query protein to known structure. Replace known with query. Backbone insertions/deletions. Side chains. Refine model using energy minimization. SwissModel, SDSC1, CPH Models Homology modeling

  16. Align sequences, one has known structure “thread” backbone of test sequence into known structure. minimize energies predicts 3D structure Sequence of unknown structure “thread” through all possible folds Threading (Fold Recognition)

  17. Generate a .pdb from a thread of a >30% similar homolog http://www.expasy.ch/swissmod/SWISS-MODEL.html Search for “threads” in proteins 0-25% similar to your query (structural analogs without homology) http://www.predictprotein.org/ Threading Services

  19. Two components: Devising a scoring (ie, energy) function that can distinguish between correct (native or native-like) structures from incorrect ones. A search method to explore the conformational space. Ab initio prediction

  20. Nuclei, electrons lumped into atoms All atoms are spherical Atoms interact on springs, via classical potentials Interactions determine spatial distribution determine energies of states Molecular Mechanics Assumptions
