Agenda • Problem definition • The Tripeptide Loop-Closure Problem • Generalization • Applications
The Loop Closure problem Finding the ensemble of possible backbone structures of a chain segment of a protein that is geometrically consistent with preceding & following parts of the chain whose structures are given. SER ILE HIS ASP ALA ALA THR SER LEU ASN
R R R Constants : bond lengths, bond angles Variables : backbone torsions
Special case • Six free rotation angles • The angles form three/four rigid pairs
R R R
The Tripeptide Loop-Closure Problem Problem definition : Special case six torsion angles at three Ca atoms located consecutively along a peptide backbone. The atoms are fixed in space Output : The exact position of the loop atoms 3 variables 3 constrains
C N Notation
r2 r1 Derivation of a 16th Degree Polynomial for the 6-angle Loop Closure
Find the rotation angles Position the atoms
Noncontiguous Ca atoms The problem characteristic do not depend on the Ca atoms continuity
Rigid sampling coverage of the real protein structure space Dataset : Top500
sampling with perturbation 5 degree perturbation of the NCaC angles 10 degree perturbation of the NCaC angles
Application to Loop Modeling • Use PLOP to sample all the torsions except for a three residue gap in the middle of the loop.
Plop - 0.29(459,0.73) 1.66(236,1.6) 3.25(42,106) 0.27(5000,8.5) 1.04 (5000,6.1) 1.89(5000,23)
Biological motivation • Homology modeling • Monte Carlo simulation
TODO • Check that the bond angles are really constant in proteins? • Which angles do we try to find in the coarser proble m? • Why the consec helps , what is the big problem in non consecutive ? • Condtion 3 in the special case?
