  1. ON (dis)ORDERED AGGREGATION OF PROTEINS Adam Gadomski & Jacek Siódmiak Institute of Mathematics and Physics University of Technology and Agriculture Bydgoszcz, Poland Workshop on Structure and Function of Biomolecules May 13 - 15, 2004, Będlewo near Poznań, Poland

  2. OBJECTIVE TO PROPOSE A CONCEPTUAL AND THEORETICAL STRATEGY, BASED ON THE GROWTH RULE AND GROWTH MECHANISM, POSSIBLY OF USEFULNESS FOR QUALITY AND MANUFACTURE TESTS IN PROTEIN-BASED TECHNOLOGY AND PROTEIN-CLUSTER DESIGN

  3. Matter aggregation models, leading to (poly)crystallization in complex polyelectrolytic environments: (A) aggregation on a single seed in a diluted solution, (B) agglomeration on many nuclei in a more condensed solution

  4. GENERAL RULE BASED ON THE GROWTH RATE - time - mechanism – dependent continuous function - system’s main variables - control parameters (desirable behavior in time: )

  5. ONE-NUCLEUS BASED SCENARIO - volume - internal concentration (density) - surface - external concentration - time - position vector GENERAL SCHEME FOR THE MASS CONSERVATION LAW

  6. EMPHASIS PUT ON A CLUSTER – CLUSTER MECHANISM: - time- and size- dependent diffusion coefficient interaction (solution) parameter of Flory-Huggins type geometrical parameter (fractal dimension) - initial cluster mass - characteristic time constant

  7. Na+ion Lysozyme protein water dipole random walk DOUBLE LAYER surface of the growing crystal Cl-ion PIVOTAL ROLE OF THE DOUBLE LAYER (DL):

  8. Growth rates for the DL-controlledon-one-nucleus-based aggregation model supersaturation parameter deterministic: Frenkel-like macroion velocity an (un)correlated noise stochastic (an example):

  9. MANY-NUCLEI BASED SCENARIO GRAIN (CLUSTER)-MERGING MECHANISM

  10. RESULTING 2D-MICROSTRUCTURE: VORONOI-like MOSAIC FOR AGGREGATION INITIAL STRUCTURE FINAL STRUCTURE

  11. RESULTING FORMULA FOR VOLUME-PRESERVING d-DIMENSIONAL MATTER AGGREGATION time derivative of the specific volume (inverse of the polycrystal density) adjusting time-dependent kinetic prefactor responsible for spherulitic growth hypersurface inverse term

  12. ADDITIONAL FORMULA EXPLAINING THE MECHANISM (to be inserted in continuity equation) drift term diffusion term surface - to - volume characteristic exponent - hypervolume of a single crystallite - independent parameters scaling: holds !

  13. where TAKEN USUALLY FOR THE d-DEPENDENT MODELING AFTER SOLVING THE STATISTICAL PROBLEM is obtained USEFUL PHYSICAL QUANTITIES:

  14. CONCLUSION • THERE ARE PARAMETER RANGES WHICH SUPPORT THE AGGREGATION AS A RATE-LIMITING STEP, MAKING THE PROCESS KINETICALLY SMOOTH, THUS ENABLING THE CONSTANT CRYSTALLIZATION SPEED TO BE EFFECTIVE (AGGREGATION AS A BENEFACTOR) • OUTSIDE THE RANGES MENTIONED ABOVE AGGREGATION SPOILS THE CRYSTALLIZATION OF INTEREST (see lecture by A.Gadomski)
