Cluster expansions (CE) now model protein design by simplifying sequence space. This computational method accurately predicts protein sequence compatibility with structures.

Area of Science:

  • Computational Biology
  • Biophysics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Cluster expansions (CE) are established for modeling configurational disorder in solid-state materials.
  • Protein design and sequence-structure compatibility prediction are computationally intensive challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To extend the cluster expansion (CE) framework to the protein design problem.
  • To develop a generalized CE for unambiguous energy expansion in amino-acid sequence space.

Main Methods:

  • Coarse-graining non-sequence degrees of freedom (e.g., side-chain conformations).
  • Developing a generalized CE framework for protein sequence space.
  • Evaluating the CE using linear regression on energies of training sequences.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated accurate prediction of protein sequence-structure compatibility.
  • Showed good prediction accuracy with pairwise interactions for a coiled-coil backbone.
  • Identified the importance of triplet interactions for a zinc-finger backbone.

Conclusions:

  • The generalized CE framework significantly simplifies protein design and sequence-structure compatibility prediction.
  • CE offers a physically transparent and computationally efficient approach to protein design.
  • The method's accuracy is validated on different protein backbone types.
