IBM PLANS SUPERCOMPUTER THAT WORKS AT SPEED OF LIFE IBM today will announce its intention to invest $100 million over the next five years to build Blue Gene, a supercomputer that will be 500 times faster than current supercomputing technology. Researchers plan to use the supercomputer to simulate the natural biological process by which amino acids fold themselves into proteins. (New York Times 12/06/99)
Exploring the Folding Landscape Protein Folding
Uses of Molecular Dynamics Simulation: • structure • flexibility • solvent effects • chemical reactions • ion channels • thermodynamics (free energy changes, binding) • spectroscopy • NMR/crystallography
Model System Atomic-Detail Computer Simulation Molecular Mechanics Potential Energy Surface Exploration by Simulation..
Model System • set of atoms • explicit/implicit solvent • periodic boundary conditions • Potential Function • empirical • chemically intuitive • quick to calculate Tradeoff: simplicity (timescale) versus accuracy

Properties of the prion protein • The natural prion protein is encoded by a single exon as a polypeptide chain of about 250 to 260 amino acid residues. • Posttranslational modification: cleavage of a 22 (N-terminal) and 23 (C-terminal) residue signal sequence => about 210 amino acid residues • PrP contains a single disulfide bridge. • PrP contains 2 glycosylation sites. • PrP inserts into the cellular plasma membrane through a glycosyl-phosphatidyl-inositol anchor at the C-terminus.
Superimposed PrP structures The first image below shows the structure of part of the hamster and mouse PrPC molecules superimposed. The close similarity in the structures is obvious, as is the preponderance of alpha helical structure.
Location of human mutations The picture shows the position of various mutations important for prion disease development in humans modelled on the hamster structure PrPC. Many of these mutations are positioned such that they could disrupt the secondary structure of the molecule.

Structure of PrPSc The PrPSc has a much higher b-sheet content.
