Astellas Protein Modeling Challenge

1. Astellas Protein Modeling Challenge February 28, 2013

2. SIZE RESTRICTION NEW THIS YEAR The finished model must fit into a box that is 44cm x 28cm x 21cm. You may bring additional display materials with you on the day of the competition.

3. Location • Registration in SAC Ballroom A • Testing and Model Building on the 3rd floor of the SAC • The Astellas Scientists want to CHAT with your students so after the exam and modeling building the students will display their prebuilt models in SAC Ballroom A. They will stand by their model ready to discuss and explain it. This interlude will not be judged. • Your students may bring handouts or whatever to show during the chat session

5. To compete successfully in the Protein Modeling Challenge, you will: Meet and get to know the estrogen receptor and why it is an important target for rational drug design Build models that illustrate what you know about the receptor, steroid hormone signaling, and breast cancer. Become a maven of protein structure Enhance your computer skills with Jmol Protein Modeling Challenge

6. Useful Web sites • Protein Data Bank http://www.pdb.org/pdb/home/home.do • Center for Biomolecular Modeling http://cbm.msoe.edu/ • Tutorial for using jmol note that the Protein Challenge is not exactly like the Science Olympiad so the tutorial is not an exact match • CBM jmol resources http://cbm.msoe.edu/stupro/smart/resources.html, you can download jmol from this site.

7. Web-Based Resources This powerpoint presentation will serve as an interactive resource for your team to gain the knowledge they need to be successful in the Protein Modeling Challenge You will find links distributed throughout this presentation, indicated by the blue underlined text Follow these links to the appropriate sources Good luck and have fun!

8. The following links will serve as tools to help you learn the basic information needed to be successful in this challenge. Please follow these links:Basic Introduction to Protein Structure and Modeling http://cbm.msoe.edu/teachRes/index.html go to the bottom of the page for links http://cbm.msoe.edu/stupro/so/index.html Protein Databank Molecule of the Month, THE ESTROGEN RECEPTOR, The category Infrastructure and Communication, subcatagory communication with hormones has useful background articles.http://www.pdb.org/pdb/101/structural_view_of_biology.do?c=Infrastructure_and_Communication Protein Structure Resources

9. Proteins are macromolecules Amino acids are the basic building blocks of proteins Working as a team, make an amino acid Protein Structure Sidechain (R-Group) Alpha-Carbon Carboxyl Group Nitrogen Amino Group • is your amino acid L or D form?

11. Amino Acids Have Unique Chemical Characteristics Each amino acid has the same “backbone” structure, but has different chemical groups (R groups or sidechains) attached Working with another team, construct an amino acid and a dipeptide with a molymod kit NH2-CH-COOH R

12. A linear chain of amino acids is the protein “primary” structure A chain of amino acids will spontaneously form stable “secondary structures”, ie: beta-sheet or alpha-helix Hydrogen bonds may stabilize these structures Science researchers would like to understand what controls this folding. http://fold.it/portal/ Proteins Have Secondary Structure Alpha Helix Beta-sheet

13. Protein folding is due to the behavior of different chemical groups on amino acids in an aqueous environment Proteins Fold Into a Tertiary Structure Structural Biologists and Computer Scientists are collaborating improve our ability to predict protein structure and better understand MOTIFS and DOMAINS in proteins You can explore amino acid sidechain chemistry and protein structure through the game and programs at: Fold It: http://fold.it/portal/ or Rosetta@Homehttp://boinc.bakerlab.org/

14. Proteins spontaneously fold into a specific three dimensional “tertiary” structure that governs a protein’s function Proteins Fold Into a Tertiary Structure

15. Protein Data Bank The 3-dimensional structure of proteins is often determined by x-ray diffraction or NMR analysis PDB file lists the X, Y, Z coordinates for each atom in a protein Protein Data Bankhttp://www.pdb.org/pdb/home/home.do PDB Molecule of the Month features the structure and function of a different protein each monthhttp://www.pdb.org/pdb/static.do?p=education_discussion/molecule_of_the_month/alphabetical_list.html

16. Molecule of the Month (MOM) A monthly PDB feature written by David Goodsell http://www.pdb.org/pdb/static.do?p=education_discussion/molecule_of_the_month/alphabetical_list.html Features a specific molecule Describes protein function Relates structure with function This figure is a science-artist’s interpretation of a tyrosine kinase receptor (it is not the estrogen receptor) The image is based on biochemical, genetic and structural (NMR and crystallography) data. Notice how many types of scientist were involved.

17. Jmol Jmol is a computer visualization software that displays data from a PDB file as a “3D” image of the molecule on the computer screen Jmol is Java-based and will work on most computers http://cbm.msoe.edu/teachRes/jmol/index.html Be sure that you know how to use the downloaded version before the day of the competition. Also be sure that you can use the console display. http://jmol.sourceforge.net/ has jmol for downloading and userguides. http://bioportal.weizmann.ac.il/oca-docs/fgij/index.htm Note that this version of jmol is easier to use but is not the interface the students will use at the competition. Your students should practice using the console and a downloaded version! We will be using version 13.0

18. Exploring Protein Structure with Jmol Jmol allows you to identify elements of protein structure Helix (magenta) Sheet (yellow) N-terminus (blue) C-terminus (red) Amino acid sidechains (CPK) Alpha-carbon backbone model format Spacefill to get a sense of the volume Surface view to give a holistic view of the protein

19. Mini-Toober Models (cont.) Mark location of structures on Mini-Toober Fold Mini-Toober into a 3D model representing protein
