    Area of Science:

    • Biophysics
    • Computational Chemistry
    • Protein Dynamics

    Background:

    • Understanding activated processes like ligand binding and enzymatic reactions in proteins is crucial.
    • Simulating these processes requires accurate modeling of molecular motion and interactions within the protein environment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline a procedure for the dynamical simulation of activated processes in globular proteins.
    • To present preliminary calculations for a model reaction involving aromatic ring rotation.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a dynamical simulation procedure for activated protein processes.
    • Calculation of transition state geometry and barrier crossing trajectories for a model system.

    Main Results:

    • Repulsive nonbonded interactions between ring atoms and the protein matrix are key.
    • These interactions define the dynamical character of reorientation processes.
    • Nonbonded interactions are the source of the rotational barrier and influence motion during barrier crossings.

    Conclusions:

    • The dynamical simulation procedure effectively captures the factors governing activated processes in proteins.
    • Nonbonded interactions play a critical role in controlling the dynamics of molecular reorientations within proteins.
