What is Protein structure? Sang Hoon Kim
Post Reductionism • Data processing of biological Information • Rightly interpretation of biological data • So, bioinformatics is more important • And We need new paradigm
Bioinformatics • DNA chip analysis • Protein engineering or modeling • Pattern analysis tool • Alignment tool and algorithm
Analysis of protein structure • Residue conformation • Periodic, non-periodic second structure • Residue burial and interactions • Association of secondary structure • Fold of protein domain • Evolution of protein
Principle of protein structure • Primary structure (20 amino acids) • Secondary structure ( Alpha structure and beta structure ) • Tertiary structure ( motif, domain ) • Quaternary structure
Definition of some words • Ramanchandran plot - A plot that show the ranges of bond angles that are permissible and the main type of structure of an L-polypeptide chain , ( = c-c = c-n) • Motif • Specific geometric arrangement ex) -- motif, Greek key motif • Domain • Topological region having specific characteristics
Dominant effects in protein folding • Net protein stability • The hydrophobic effect • Atomic packing • Conformational entropy • Electro static effect • Disulfide bridges
Approaches to prediction • Sequence analysis • Secondary structure prediction • Tertiary structure prediction • Modeling of protein structures • Verification
Protein fold recognition Predicted Fold ? Algorithm of Protein modeling Alignment of Secondary structure Analysis of Fold family Multiple Sequence alignment Secondary structure prediction Alignment of Sequence to structure Experimental data Comparative modeling Protein sequence Data base searching Homologue In PDB Protein model
Sequence analysis • Pam matrix • Global alignment of closely related protein • Blasum • Local alignment • Blast(basic local alignment search tool) • The list of high scoring words • Compare the word list to the database • Extend alignment in both directions
Identification of sequenced motifs • Make use of internet site for identification of sequence motifs • The algorithm is a set membership matrix where rows correspond to the type of residue and columns to positions in the motif • Prosite (http :// expasy.pku.edu.cn/prosite) • ATP/GTP binding site motif = [AG]-X(4)-G-k-[ST]
Prediction of secondary structure • Empirical statical method • Based on studies of the data base of protein of known primary and secondary structure (ex : Chou-Fasman, GOR, nearst neighbor, neural network) • Lim method • Based on knowledge about the physical and chemical basis of protein structure • Predictprotein • http://www.embl-heidelberg.de/predictprotein/predictprotein.html
Comparative modelling • Many of the models were built using rule-based procedure encodes as computer programs (composer, SYBYL) • Using Composer one can get an approximate model and subsequently the interatomic interactions could be optimized using Modeller and energy minimization
Molecular mechanics and dynamics • Two methods from the basis of molecular mechanics – energy minimization and molecular dymamics • Energy minimization • Search very localized region of conformational space, search around the initial conditions • Identify minima in energy funtion • Molecular dynamic • Homology modeling, conformational searching, sampling as required in free energy calculations
Docking ligands to proteins Atomic resolution protein structure Database of small molecule structure Remove undesired waters, ions, atoms Eliminate very flexible molecules Calculate active site hot spots Calculate partial atomic charge Calculate molecular potential Calculate solvation energies Next ligand Calculate an orientation in the site Evaluate receptor-ligand complementary Graphically evaluate best scoring ligands
