The decryption of sequence of structural events during protein conformational transitions is essential to a detailed understanding of molecular functions ofvarious biological nanomachines. Coarse‐grained models have proven useful by allowing highly efficient simulations of protein conformational dynamics. By combining two coarse‐grained elastic network models constructed based on the beginning and end conformations of a transition, we have developed an interpolated elastic network model to…

  • 2019
TLDR
A new adaptive bond bending elastic network model is presented for studying the conformational transition pathway of adenylate kinase and leucine transporter and the observed intermediate states and the transition pathways were in good agreement with those of the other methods and molecular dynamics simulations.
Protein folding pathways and state transitions described by classical equations of motion of an elastic network model
TLDR
A model of protein dynamics based on the classical equations of motion of a damped network model (DNM) that describes the folding path from a completely unfolded state to the native conformation through a single‐well potential derived purely from thenative conformation is developed.
Prediction and validation of protein intermediate states from structurally rich ensembles and coarse-grained simulations
TLDR

Protein conformational transitions explored by a morphing approach based on normal mode analysis in internal coordinates
TLDR
This study proposes a new computational methodology called internal coordinate normal mode-guided elastic network interpolation (ICONGENI) to predict conformational transition pathways in proteins and generates an ensemble of transition pathways through ICONGENI and investigates the possibility of using this method to reveal the transition mechanisms even when there are unknown metastable states on rough energy landscapes.

Exploring the Conformational Transitions of Biomolecular Systems Using a Simple Two-State Anisotropic Network Model
TLDR
Application to several systems of broad biological interest such as adenylate kinase, ATP-driven calcium pump SERCA, leucine transporter and glutamate transporter shows that ANMPathway yields results in good agreement with those from other similar methods and with data obtained from all-atom molecular dynamics simulations, in support of the utility of this simple and efficient approach.

TLDR
Two alternative approaches to the coarse-grained modeling of dynamic properties of protein systems are presented, including two CG representations of polypeptide chains used for Monte Carlo dynamics simulations of protein local dynamics and conformational transitions and highly simplified structure-based elastic network models of protein flexibility.

TLDR
This study emphasizes the preexisting equilibrium/conformational selection as a mechanism for protein-protein interaction and lends support to the concept that proteins, in their native conformation, are predisposed to undergo conformational fluctuations that are relevant to, or even required for, their biological functions.
