Molecular motion is an essential process of life Mad cow disease is caused by misfolding Drug molecules act bybinding to proteins
Stanford BioX cluster NMR spectrometer So, studying molecular motion is of critical importance in molecular biology However, few tools are available • Computer simulation: • Monte Carlo simulation • Molecular Dynamics
Two Major Drawbacks of MD and MC Simulation • Each simulation run yields a single pathway, while molecules tend to move along many different pathways Interest in ensemble properties

Other Examples of Ensemble Properties • Folding: • Order of formation of SSE’s • Folding rate / Mean first passage time • Key intermediates • Binding: • Average time to escape from active site • Average energy barrier
Two Major Drawbacks ofMD and MC Simulation • Each simulation run yields a single pathway, while molecules tend to move along many different pathways • Each simulation run tends to waste much time in local minima
Roadmap-Based Representation • Compact representation of many motion pathways • Coarse resolution relative to MC and MD simulation • Efficient algorithms for analyzing multiple pathways

Initial WorkA.P. Singh, J.C. Latombe, and D.L. Brutlag. A Motion Planning Approach to Flexible Ligand Binding. Proc. 7th ISMB, pp. 252-261, 1999 • Study of ligand-protein binding • The ligand is a small flexible molecule, but the protein is assumed rigid • A fixed coordinate system P is attached to the protein and a moving coordinate system L is defined using three bonded atoms in the ligand • A conformation of the ligand is defined by the position and orientation of L relative to P and the torsional angles of the ligand
Roadmap Construction (Node Generation) • The nodes of the roadmap are generated by sampling conformations of the ligand uniformly at random in the parameter space (around the protein) • The energy E at each sampled conformation is computed: E = Einteraction + Einternal Einteraction = electrostatic + van der Waals potential Einternal = Snon-bonded pairs of atoms electrostatic + van der Waals
P = if Emin E Emax Roadmap Construction (Node Generation) • The nodes of the roadmap are generated by sampling conformations of the ligand uniformly at random in the parameter space (around the protein) • The energy E at each sampled conformation is computed: E = Einteraction + Einternal Einteraction = electrostatic + van der Waals potential Einternal = Snon-bonded pairs of atoms electrostatic + van der Waals • A sampled conformation is retained as a node of the roadmap with probability:0 if E > Emax Emax-E Emax-Emin 1 if E < Emin Denser distribution of nodes in low-energy regions of conformational space
qi qi+1 q q’ Emax Roadmap Construction (Edge Generation) • Each node is connected to its closest neighbors by straight edges • Each edge is discretized so that between qi and qi+1 no atom moves by more than some ε (= 1Å) • If any E(qi) > Emax , then the edge is rejected E
qi qi+1 q q’ Heuristic measureof energetic difficultyor moving from q to q’ Roadmap Construction (Edge Generation) • Any two nodes closer apart than some threshold distance are connected by a straight edge • Each edge is discretized so that between qi and qi+1 no atom moves by more than some ε (= 1Å) • If all E(qi) Emax , then the edge is retained and is assigned two weights w(qq’) and w(q’q) where: (probability that the ligand moves from qi to qi+1 when it is constrained to move along the edge)
Querying the Roadmap • For a given goal node qg (e.g., binding conformation), the Dijkstra’s single-source algorithm computes the lowest-weight paths from qg to each node (in either direction) in O(NlogN) time, where N = number of nodes • Various quantities can then be easily computed in O(N) time, e.g., average weights of all paths entering qg and of all paths leaving qg(~ binding and dissociation rates Kon and Koff) Protein: Lactate dehydrogenase Ligand: Oxamate (7 degrees of freedom)
Experiments on 3 Complexes • PDB ID: 1ldm Receptor: Lactate Dehydrogenase (2386 atoms, 309 residues) Ligand: Oxamate (6 atoms, 7 dofs) • PDB ID: 4ts1 Receptor: Mutant of tyrosyl-transfer-RNA synthetase (2423 atoms, 319 residues) Ligand: L- leucyl-hydroxylamine (13 atoms, 9 dofs) • PDB ID: 1stp Receptor: Streptavidin (901 atoms, 121 residues) Ligand: Biotin (16 atoms, 11 dofs)
active site Computation of Potential Binding Conformations • Sample many (several 1000’s) ligand’s conformations at random around protein • Repeat several times: • Select lowest-energy conformations that are close to protein surface • Resample around them • Retain k (~10) lowest-energy conformations whose centers of mass are at least 5Å apart lactate dehydrogenase
Results for 1ldm • Some potential binding sites have slightly lower energy than the active site Energy is not a discriminating factor • Average path weights (energetic difficulty) to enter and leave binding site are significantly greater for the active site Indicates that the active site is surrounded by an energy barrier that “traps” the ligand

Application of Roadmaps to Protein FoldingN.M. Amato, K.A. Dill, and G. Song. Using Motion Planning to Map Protein Folding Landscapes and Analyze Folding Kinetics of Known Native Structures. J. Comp. Biology, 10(2):239-255, 2003 • Known native state • Degrees of freedom: φ-ψ angles • Energy: van der Waals, hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic effect • New idea: Sampling strategy • Application: Finding order of SSE formation
Sampling Strategy(Node Generation) • High dimensionality non-uniform sampling • Conformations are sampled using Gaussian distribution around native state • Conformations are sorted into bins by number of native contacts (pairs of C atoms that are closeapart in native structure) • Sampling ends when all bins have minimum number of conformations “good” coverage of conformational space
Application: Order of Formation of Secondary Structures • The lowest-weight path is extracted from each denatured conformation to the folded one • The order of formation of SSE’s is computed along each path • The formation order that appears the most often over all paths is considered the SSE formation order of the protein
Method • The contact matrix showing the time step when each native contact appears is built
