    <title>Abstract</title>Non-structural protein 15 (Nsp15) of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) forms a homo hexamer and functions as an endoribonuclease. Here, we propose that Nsp15 activity may be inhibited by preventing its hexamerization through drug binding. We first explored the stable conformation of the Nsp15 monomer as the global free energy minimum conformation in the free energy landscape using a combination of parallel cascade selection molecular dynamics (PaCS-MD) and the Markov state model (MSM), and found that the Nsp15 monomer forms a more open conformation with larger druggable pockets on the surface. Targeting the pockets with high druggability scores, we conducted ligand docking and identified compounds that tightly bind to the Nsp15 monomer. The top poses with Nsp15 were subjected to binding free energy calculations by dissociation PaCS-MD and MSM (dPaCS-MD/MSM), indicating the stability of the complexes. One of the identified pockets, which is distinctively bound by inosine analogues, may be an alternative binding site to stabilize viral RNA binding and/or an alternative catalytic site. We constructed a stable RNA structure model bound to both UTP and alternative binding sites, providing a reasonable proposed model of the Nsp15/RNA complex.

  • The role of the half-turn in determining structures of Alzheimer's Aβ wild-type and mutants. Reviewed International coauthorship International journal

    Half-turns are shown to be the main determinants of many experimental Alzheimer's Aβ fibril structures. Fibril structures contain three half-turn types, βαRβ, βαLβ and βεβ which each result in a ∼90° bend in a β-strand. It is shown that only these half-turns enable cross-β stacking and thus the right-angle fold seen in fibrils is an intrinsic feature of cross-β. Encoding a strand as a conformational sequence in β, αR, αL and ε(βL), pairwise combination rules for consecutive half-turns are used to decode this sequence to give the backbone path. This reveals how structures would be dramatically affected by a deletion. Using a wild-type Aβ(42) fibril structure and the pairwise combination rules, the Osaka deletion is predicted to result in exposure of surfaces that are mutually shielding from the solvent. Molecular dynamics simulations on an 11-mer β-sheet of Alzheimer's Aβ(40) of the Dutch (E22Q), Iowa (D23N), Arctic (E22G), and Osaka (E22Δ) mutants, show the crucial role glycine plays in the positioning of βαRβ half-turns. Their "in-phase" positions along the sequence in the wild-type, Dutch mutant and Iowa mutant means that the half-folds all fold to the same side creating the same closed structure. Their out-of-phase positions in Arctic and Osaka mutants creates a flatter structure in the former and an S-shape structure in the latter which, as predicted, exposes surfaces on the inside in the closed wild-type to the outside. This is consistent with the gain of interaction model and indicates how domain swapping might explain the Osaka mutant's unique properties.

    G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent a ubiquitous membrane protein family and are important drug targets. Their diverse signaling pathways are driven by complex pharmacology arising from a conformational ensemble rarely captured by structural methods. Here, fluorine nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (19F NMR) is used to delineate key functional states of the adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) complexed with heterotrimeric G protein (Gαsβ1γ2) in a phospholipid membrane milieu. Analysis of A2AR spectra as a function of ligand, G protein, and nucleotide identifies an ensemble represented by inactive states, a G-protein-bound activation intermediate, and distinct nucleotide-free states associated with either partial- or full-agonist-driven activation. The Gβγ subunit is found to be critical in facilitating ligand-dependent allosteric transmission, as shown by 19F NMR, biochemical, and computational studies. The results provide a mechanistic basis for understanding basal signaling, efficacy, precoupling, and allostery in GPCRs.

    Abstract

    Biological systems are composed of and regulated by intricate and diverse biomolecular interactions. Experimental and computational approaches have been developed to elucidate the mechanisms of these interactions; however, owing to cost, time, and accuracy issues, large-scale spatiotemporal analyses of molecular pairs remains challenging. Thus, the molecular recognition mechanisms underlying these diverse interactions remain unclear. We successfully simulated the large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) of 4,275 protein–compound pairs by combining a method to accelerate the MD simulations with the supercomputer Fugaku. Our spatiotemporal analysis of generated big MD data revealed universal features underlying molecular recognition and binding processes. This study expands our understanding of the concept of MD simulations from a technique to investigate the dynamic properties of individual protein–drug pairs to an approach to perform large-scale spatiotemporal analysis and compound screening. This study opens an avenue in biological research for subsequent drug discovery.

    Signal transduction proteins perceive external stimuli in their sensor module and regulate the biological activities of the effector module, allowing cellular adaptation in response to environmental changes. FixL is a dimeric heme protein kinase that senses the oxygen level in plant root nodules to regulate the transcription of nitrogen fixation genes via the phosphorylation of its cognate transcriptional activator. Dissociation of oxygen from the heme induces conformational changes in the protein, converting it from the inactive form for phosphorylation to the active form. However, how FixL undergoes conformational change to regulate kinase activity upon oxygen dissociation remains poorly understood. Here we report time-resolved ultraviolet resonance Raman spectra showing conformational changes for FixL from Sinorhizobium meliloti. We observed spectral changes with a time constant of about 3 μs, which were oxygen-specific. Furthermore, we found that the conformational changes in the sensor and kinase domains are coupled, enabling allosteric control of kinase activity. Our results demonstrate that concerted structural changes on the microsecond time scale serve as the regulatory switch in FixL.

    <title>Abstract</title>Cell-penetrating peptides have important therapeutic applications in drug delivery, but the variety of known cell-penetrating peptides is still limited. With a promise to accelerate peptide development, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques including deep generative models are currently in spotlight. Scientists, however, are often overwhelmed by an excessive number of unannotated sequences generated by AI and find it difficult to obtain insights to prioritize them for experimental validation. To avoid this pitfall, we leverage molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to obtain mechanistic information to prioritize and understand AI-generated peptides. A mechanistic score of permeability is computed from five steered MD simulations starting from different initial structures predicted by homology modelling. To compensate for variability of predicted structures, the score is computed with sample variance penalization so that a peptide with consistent behaviour is highly evaluated. Our computational pipeline involving deep learning, homology modelling, MD simulations and synthesizability assessment generated 24 novel peptide sequences. The top-scoring peptide showed a consistent pattern of conformational change in all simulations regardless of initial structures. As a result of wet-lab-experiments, our peptide showed better permeability and weaker toxicity in comparison to a clinically used peptide, TAT. Our result demonstrates how MD simulations can support de novo peptide design by providing mechanistic information supplementing statistical inference.

    High pressure below 100 MPa interferes inter-molecular interactions without causing pressure denaturation of proteins. In Escherichia coli, the binding of the chemotaxis signaling protein CheY to the flagellar motor protein FliM induces reversal of the motor rotation. Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and parallel cascade selection MD (PaCS-MD), we show that high pressure increases the water density in the first hydration shell of CheY and considerably induces water penetration into the CheY-FliM interface. PaCS-MD enabled us to observe pressure-induced dissociation of the CheY-FliM complex at atomic resolution. Pressure dependence of binding free energy indicates that the increase of pressure from 0.1 to 100 MPa significantly weakens the binding. Using high-pressure microscopy, we observed that high hydrostatic pressure fixes the motor rotation to the counter-clockwise direction. In conclusion, the application of pressure enhances hydration of the proteins and weakens the binding of CheY to FliM, preventing reversal of the flagellar motor.

    <title>ABSTRACT</title>The membrane-shaping ability of PACSIN2 (also known as syndapin II), which is mediated by its F-BAR domain, has been shown to be essential for caveolar morphogenesis, presumably through the shaping of the caveolar neck. Caveolar membranes contain abundant cholesterol. However, the role of cholesterol in PACSIN2-mediated membrane deformation remains unclear. Here, we show that the binding of PACSIN2 to the membrane can be negatively regulated by cholesterol. We prepared reconstituted membranes based on the lipid composition of caveolae. The reconstituted membrane with cholesterol had a weaker affinity for the F-BAR domain of PACSIN2 than a membrane without cholesterol. Consistent with this, upon depletion of cholesterol from the plasma membrane, PACSIN2 localized at tubules that had caveolin-1 at their tips, suggesting that cholesterol inhibits membrane tubulation mediated by PACSIN2. The tubules induced by PACSIN2 could be representative of an intermediate of caveolae endocytosis. Consistent with this, the removal of caveolae from the plasma membrane upon cholesterol depletion was diminished in the PACSIN2-deficient cells. These data suggest that PACSIN2-mediated caveolae internalization is dependent on the amount of cholesterol, providing a mechanism for cholesterol-dependent regulation of caveolae.

    Computational techniques for accurate and efficient prediction of protein-protein complex structures are widely used for elucidating protein-protein interactions, which play important roles in biological systems. Recently, it has been reported that selecting a structure similar to the native structure among generated structure candidates (decoys) is possible by calculating binding free energies of the decoys based on all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with explicit solvent and the solution theory in the energy representation, which is called evERdock. A recent version of evERdock achieves a higher-accuracy decoy selection by introducing MD relaxation and multiple MD simulations/energy calculations; however, huge computational cost is required. In this paper, we propose an efficient decoy selection method using evERdock and the best arm identification (BAI) framework, which is one of the techniques of reinforcement learning. The BAI framework realizes an efficient selection by suppressing calculations for nonpromising decoys and preferentially calculating for the promising ones. We evaluate the performance of the proposed method for decoy selection problems of three protein-protein complex systems. Their results show that computational costs are successfully reduced by a factor of 4.05 (in the best case) compared to a standard decoy selection approach without sacrificing accuracy.

    Phagocytosis is a cellular process for internalization of micron-sized large particles including pathogens. The Bin-Amphiphysin-Rvs167 (BAR) domain proteins, including the FCH-BAR (F-BAR) domain proteins, impose specific morphologies on lipid membranes. Most BAR domain proteins are thought to form membrane invaginations or protrusions by assembling into helical submicron-diameter filaments, such as on clathrin-coated pits, caveolae, and filopodia. However, the mechanism by which BAR domain proteins assemble into micron-scale phagocytic cups was unclear. Here, we show that the two-dimensional sheet-like assembly of Growth Arrest-Specific 7 (GAS7) plays a critical role in phagocytic cup formation in macrophages. GAS7 has the F-BAR domain that possesses unique hydrophilic loops for two-dimensional sheet formation on flat membranes. Super-resolution microscopy reveals the similar assemblies of GAS7 on phagocytic cups and liposomes. The mutations of the loops abolishes both the membrane localization of GAS7 and phagocytosis. Thus, the sheet-like assembly of GAS7 plays a significant role in phagocytosis.

    The bacterial flagellar motor is a unique supramolecular complex which converts ion flow into rotational force. Many biological devices mainly use two types of ions, proton and sodium ion. This is probably because of the fact that life originated in seawater, which is rich in protons and sodium ions. The polar flagellar motor in Vibrio is coupled with sodium ion and the energy converting unit of the motor is composed of two membrane proteins, PomA and PomB. It has been shown that the ion binding residue essential for ion transduction is the conserved aspartic acid residue (PomB-D24) in the PomB transmembrane region. To reveal the mechanism of ion selectivity, we identified essential residues, PomA-T158 and PomA-T186, other than PomB-D24, in the Na+-driven flagellar motor. It has been shown that the side chain of threonine contacts Na+ in Na+-coupled transporters. We monitored the Na+-binding specific structural changes using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. The signals were abolished in PomA-T158A and -T186A, as well as in PomB-D24N. Molecular dynamics simulations further confirmed the strong binding of Na+ to D24 and showed that T158A and T186A hindered the Na+ binding and transportation. The data indicate that two threonine residues (PomA-T158 and PomA-T186), together with PomB-D24, are important for Na+ conduction in the Vibrio flagellar motor. The results contribute to clarify the mechanism of ion recognition and conversion of ion flow into mechanical force.

    This paper proposes a novel molecular simulation method, called tree search molecular dynamics (TS-MD), to accelerate the sampling of conformational transition pathways, which require considerable computation. In TS-MD, a tree search algorithm, called upper confidence bounds for trees, which is a type of reinforcement learning algorithm, is applied to sample the transition pathway. By learning from the results of the previous simulations, TS-MD efficiently searches conformational space and avoids being trapped in local stable structures. TS-MD exhibits better performance than parallel cascade selection molecular dynamics, which is one of the state-of-the-art methods, for the folding of miniproteins, Chignolin and Trp-cage, in explicit water.

    BACKGROUND: Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is well-recognized as a powerful tool to investigate protein structure, function, and thermodynamics. MD simulation is also used to investigate high pressure effects on proteins. For conducting better MD simulation under high pressure, the main issues to be addressed are: (i) protein force fields and water models were originally developed to reproduce experimental properties obtained at ambient pressure; and (ii) the timescale to observe the pressure effect is often much longer than that of conventional MD simulations. SCOPE OF REVIEW: First, we describe recent developments in MD simulation methodologies for studying the high-pressure structure and dynamics of protein molecules. These developments include force fields for proteins and water molecules, and enhanced simulation techniques. Then, we summarize recent studies of MD simulations of proteins in water under high pressure. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS: Recent MD simulations of proteins in solution under pressure have reproduced various phenomena identified by experiments using high pressure, such as hydration, water penetration, conformational change, helix stabilization, and molecular stiffening. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE: MD simulations demonstrate differences in the properties of proteins and water molecules between ambient and high-pressure conditions. Comparing the results obtained by MD calculations with those obtained experimentally could reveal the mechanism by which biological molecular machines work well in collaboration with water molecules.

    Bacteria use a type III protein export apparatus for construction of the flagellum, which consists of the basal body, the hook, and the filament. FlhA forms a homo-nonamer through its C-terminal cytoplasmic domains (FlhAC) and ensures the strict order of flagellar assembly. FlhAC goes through dynamic domain motions during protein export, but it remains unknown how it occurs. Here, we report that the FlhA(G368C) mutation biases FlhAC toward a closed form, thereby reducing the binding affinity of FlhAC for flagellar export chaperones in complex with their cognate filament-type substrates. The G368C mutations also restrict the conformational flexibility of a linker region of FlhA (FlhAL), suppressing FlhAC ring formation. We propose that interactions of FlhAL with its neighboring subunit converts FlhAC in the ring from a closed conformation to an open one, allowing the chaperon/substrate complexes to bind to the FlhAC ring to form the filament at the hook tip.

    <p>We examine the dynamic features of non-trivial allosteric binding sites to elucidate potential drug binding sites. These allosteric sites were previously found to be allosteric after determination of the protein-drug co-crystal structure. After comprehensive search in the Protein Data Bank, we identify 10 complex structures with allosteric ligands whose structures are very similar to their functional forms. Then, possible pockets on the protein surface are searched as potential ligand binding sites. To mimic ligand binding to the pocket, complex models are generated to fill out each pocket with pseudo ligand blocks consisting of spheres. Normal mode analysis of the elastic network model is performed for the complex models and unbound structures to assess the change of protein dynamics induced by ligand binding. We examine nine profiles to describe the dynamic and positional characteristics of the pockets, and identify the change of fluctuation around the ligand, ΔMSFbs, as the best profile for distinguishing the allosteric sites from the other sites in 8 structures. These cases should be considered as examples of dynamics-driven allostery, which accompanies significant changes in protein dynamics. ΔMSFbs is suggested to be used for the search of potential dynamics-driven allosteric sites in proteins for drug discovery.</p>

    We have developed a new simulation algorithm for free-energy calculations. The method is a multidimensional extension of the replica-exchange method. While pairs of replicas with different temperatures are exchanged during the simulation in the original replica-exchange method, pairs of replicas with different temperatures and/or different parameters of the potential energy are exchanged in the new algorithm. This greatly enhances the sampling of the conformational space and allows accurate calculations of free energy in a wide temperature range from a single simulation run, using the weighted histogram analysis method.

    Parallel Cascade Selection Molecular Dynamics simulation (PaCS-MD) is among the enhanced sampling methods without applying extra bias potential/force. Here we report our recent advances in applying PaCS-MD to investigate association and dissociation of protein/peptide complexes. In combination with the Markov state model (MSM), PaCS-MD/MSM exhibits its ability to predict native complex structure and calculate the binding free energy, association and dissociation rate constants of the complexes in agreement with experimental data.

  • Molecular Interaction and Energy Frustration Play Essential Roles in Polymorphic Supercoiling of Bacterial Flagellar Filament

    KITAO Akio, IMADA Katsumi, NAMBA Keiichi

    Biophysics   48 ( 1 )   011 - 017   2008

     More details

    Language:Japanese   Publisher:The Biophysical Society of Japan  

    The bacterial flagellar filament controls the swimming mode of bacteria by its polymorphic structural change. We investigated dynamics of the flagellar filament by massive molecular dynamic simulation and found that three types of inter-molecular interactions, permanent, sliding and switch interactions, play essential roles in the structural change. The polymorphic structure of the flagellar filament is thought to be due to energy frustration between intra- and inter-molecular interactions.

    Language:Japanese   Publisher:The Biophysical Society of Japan General Incorporated Association  

    A novel method has been developed in order to determine both structure and dynamics of proteins using a molecular simulation and experimental data. This is based on the concept of the Jumping-Among-Minima model. In this method, inter-substate fluctuations are determined by molecular simulation and inter-substate motions are determined so as to reproduce experimental data. Slow dynamics of proteins and its relation to protein functions are discussed.

     More details

    Language:Japanese   Publisher:The Biophysical Society of Japan General Incorporated Association  

    The role of the denatured state in protein stability is studied by theoretical methods based on molecular dynamics simulations. The results show that the free energy differences depend significantly on the denatured-state structures in the case of thermal denaturation. By modeling the denatured-state structures in various denaturation conditions, more quantitative analyses of protein stability and folding will be possible.

    In this study, human A2A adenosine receptor (A2AR), a G protein-coupled receptor activated by adenosine, was elucidated as the research target. We investigated the differences in dynamics upon various ligand binding and developed computational methods to predict binding affinity. We also performed state-of-the-art molecular simulations of the activated state of the A2AR bound by a ligand (NECA) and full G proteins consisting of three subunits (Gs and Go) and were able to determine dynamics differences.

    The bacterial flagellar motor is a nanometer-size rotary molecular machine driven by ion flux. One remarkable feature of the motor is that its rotation can be instantaneously switched from counterclockwise to clockwise upon binding of the active form of the cytoplasmic signaling protein CheY. Here we found that higher hydrostatic pressure weakens the CheY-FliM interaction, demonstrating that is a critical step for the regulation of motor rotation. We also showed that in bacteria with a polar flagellum, cooperativity of the CheY-FliM interaction is tuned to be low and that this is a key feature essential for repellent responses. Our finding sheds new light on the motor switching mechanism.

    In the "soft molecular systems" project, we organized a group that supports international activities of members, and conducted two programs. The first program aims at sending young researchers abroad. We started this program at the beginning of the "soft molecular systems" project, 2 years before this grant project (15K21740) started. We requested young researchers not only to participate in the conference abroad, but also to visit laboratories for discussion. They are requested to report their activities in Newsletter. Using this grant, we sent 20 young researchers abroad, whose active communications with foreign researchers can be seen in Newsletter. The second program supported international collaboration of members, for which we sent 6 researchers abroad, and invited 7 researchers from abroad. As a result, 6 papers have been published in high-impact journals, including Nat. Commun. and PNAS. The two programs thus contributed the success of the "soft molecular systems" project.

    To investigate flexibility of multi-domain proteins by advance molecular simulation, we developed a method to efficiently simulate structure variations of multi-domain proteins, generate conformational transition pathways, and calculate free energy landscape. In the application of this method to FlhAc, a bacterial flagellar export apparatus protein, we found that a temperature sensitive mutant G368C does not show significant difference at 300 K but is stabilized to a closed form in which domain 2 and 4 are in contact. Since the open form of FlhAc involves with its function as the export apparatus, stabilization of the closed form in this mutant is expected to suppress its function.

    本研究では、タンパク質の複合体形成や解離のメカニズムを、構成する原子の集団的自由度(モード)間のカップリングというコンセプトを踏まえて、従来よりも詳細なレベルで明らかにするシミュレーション手法を開発することを目指してきた。
    第1の研究成果として、分子シミュレーションを応用した構造変化を効率的にサンプリングする手法の開発と自由エネルギー地形計算に進展があったことがあげられる。開発した効率的にサンプリングする手法の1つがTransform and Relax Sampling (TRS)と呼ぶシミュレーション法である。この手法は、シミュレーション中にシステムにランダムな摂動を与えることで、タンパク質のソフトモードを励起するシミュレーション法である。この手法は、複合体形成・解離にカップリングすると思われるモードをタンパク質が持っている本質的に性質に注目することで効率的に抽出することを可能にしたものだと解釈できる。また、粗視化モデルと全原子モデルを組み合わせて効率的な超並列シミュレーションを行うMSFEL法を用いた自由エネルギー計算をいくつかのシステムで実行した。
    次に2つの状態間をつなぐトラジェクトリを生成するPaCS-MD の開発を進めた。これは完全に独立な複数のトラジェクトリからターゲット構造に近いものを選択するプロセスを繰り返すことで、システムにバイアスをかけることなしに2状態間を接続するトラジェクトリを生成するものである。このシミュレーション法はタンパク質のフォールディング・アンフォールディングやドメイン運動、更に複合体形成時の構造変化を研究するために有効であることが明らかになった。
    更にタンパク質が形成する複合体モデルを生成し、エネルギー計算からこれらを評価する手法を開発した。これ以外にも、本領域に参画することで、いくつかの重要な共同研究が生まれた。

    Bacterial flagellar filament is a macromolecular assembly consisting of single protein, flagellin. Bacterial swimming is controlled by the conformational transitions of this filament between left- and right-handed supercoils induced by the flagellar motor torque. We present that a massive molecular dynamics simulation was successful in constructing the atomic-level supercoil structures consistent to various experimental data and further in elucidating the detailed underlying molecular mechanisms of the polymorphic supercoiling. We have found that the following three types of interactions are keys to understanding the supercoiling mechanism. "Permanent" interactions are always maintained between subunits in the various supercoil structures. "Sliding" interactions are formed between variable hydrophilic or hydrophobic residue pairs, allowing intersubunit shear without large change in energy. The formation and breakage of "switch" interactions stabilize inter- and intrasubunit interactions, respectively. We conclude that polymorphic supercoiling is due to the energy frustration between them. The transition between supercoils is achieved by a "transform and relax" mechanism : the filament structure is geometrically transformed rapidly and then slowly relaxes to energetically meta-stable states by rearranging interactions.

Our purposes of this project are 1) Investigate protein dynamics involved with the complex formation, 2) Estimate contribution from amino acid residues and energy terms by free energy analysis, 3) Investigate the role of CD2/CD58 complex formation in signal transfer. In order to attain the first purpose, a novel method has been developed in order to refine structure and dynamic of proteins in solution by using NMR restraints and relaxation parameters. This method is based on the concept of Jumping-Among...

    今年度は、タンパク質エネルギ-面の階層性について重点的に研究を行った。まず溶液中で1ナノ秒間のヒト・リゾチ-ムのダイナミックスを分子動力学を用いて再現した。タンパク質は自由度が多いため、そのダイナミックスをモ-ドに分解して観察する必要がある。このような方法のうち最も代表的なものは、我々が提唱してきた、2次モ-メントを用いてタンパク質の異方性をよく再現する集団座標を用いる方法である。この方法を更に発展させ、タンパク質の固有の物理的な仮定を導入することで、物理的な描像を与えることを可能にしたのがJAMモデルである。このモデルでは、各エネルギ-極小点近傍での揺らぎと極小間のジャンプを区別して解析することが可能になる。この分布の解析から、極小点は多数のモ-ドの軸方向にまんべんなく分布しているのではなく、少数のモ-ド(全体の5%)の軸方向にのみ広く分布し、他の95%の軸方向には、極小点が1つしか存在しないことが明らかになった

    The research project, "Principle of Protein Architecture," has continued its activity during FY1995-1998 for the purpose of pursuing an evolutional and/or physicochemical solution to the question "how the information of protein's three dimensional structure and function is coded in its amino acid sequence."When starting this project, we had relied on the hypothesis that the variety of protein folds is limited to a rather small number, about one thousand. Based on such a hypothesis, we imagined a realization of the prediction of protein structures using the 'threading' method. The results of...

    本計画研究班では、「蛋白質立体構造の構築原理」の物理・化学的側面を解明する。「構築原理」の物理・化学的側面を解明するために、(1)ヒト・リゾチームを集中的に研究する課題と(2)種々の蛋白質を用いて立体構造の安定性・ダイナミックス・折れたたみ機構に関するそれぞれの重要な問題を解決する課題に分かれている。(1)の課題(油谷、山縣、北尾)は、系統的で網羅的なヒトリゾチーム変異型を作成し(100種以上)、得られた全ての変異型について、カロリメトリーにより熱変性の熱力学的パラメータを求めると同時にX線結晶構造解析を行い変異に伴う構造変化を調べた。蓄積されたデータを基に、変異蛋白質の安定性の変化と構造の変化の相関を検討し、個々の安定化因子の定量化に成功した。そこでは、二次構造の傾向性、水分子の導入、水素結合の形成と消失、極性基(polar)なびに非極性基(non-polar)の変性に伴う表面露出面積の差(DDASA)などを考慮した。これらの結果は、非極性基

    Electron transfer is one of the most fundamental process in chemistry and biology. Theoretical frameworks describing non-adiabatic electron transfer process is well established through classical, semiclassical and quantum models. In all these theories, the basic assumption is that the electron transfer rate constant can be partitioned into two factors-the electronic coupling factor and the Frank-Condon factor.A new aproach is proposed in order to understand the relation between the protein modes and the electron transfer reaction, especially the Frank-Condon factor. We have presented a redu...
