Protein and Protein Structure

87.4K
Proteins are one of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and have the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules. Proteins may be structural, regulatory, contractile, or protective. They may serve in transport, storage, or membranes; or they may be toxins or enzymes. Their structures, like their functions, vary greatly. They are all, however, amino acid polymers arranged in a linear sequence.
A protein's shape is critical to its function. For example, an enzyme...

Structural Protein Function

29.9K
Structural proteins are a category of proteins responsible for functions ranging from cell shape and movement to providing support to major structures such as bones, cartilage, hair, and muscles. This group includes proteins such as collagen, actin, myosin, and keratin.
Collagen, the most abundant protein in mammals, is found throughout the body. In connective tissue, such as skin, ligaments, and tendons, it provides tensile strength and elasticity.  In bones and teeth, it mineralizes to...

Relaxation of Skeletal Muscles

5.8K
The period of muscle contraction primarily influences the duration of stimulation at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), the presence of free calcium ions in the sarcoplasm, and the availability of energy or ATP to support contractions.
When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, it depolarizes the membrane and opens voltage-gated sodium channels. Sodium ions enter the cell, further depolarizing the presynaptic membrane. This depolarization causes voltage-gated calcium channels to open....

Machines01:19

Machines

577
Machines are complex structures consisting of movable, pin-connected multi-force members that work together to transmit forces. One example of a machine is the cutting plier, which is used to cut wires by applying forces to its handles. When equal and opposite forces are exerted on the handles of the cutting plier, they cause the cutting edges to come together and apply equal and opposite reaction forces on the wire, which are greater than the applied forces.

Area of Science:

  • Computational biology
  • Structural bioinformatics
  • Machine learning in structural biology

Background:

  • Protein structure refinement aims to improve the accuracy of existing protein models.
  • Guiding conformational sampling with effective restraints is a key challenge in refinement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a machine learning-based protocol for protein structure refinement using probabilistic restraints.
  • To enhance the accuracy of template-based protein models.

Main Methods:

  • Developed refineD, a protocol using deep discriminative learning to predict multi-resolution probabilistic restraints.
  • Integrated predicted restraints into the Rosetta all-atom energy function as scoring terms.
  • Utilized four restraint resolutions (0.5, 1, 2, 4 Å) based on Cα atom positions.

Main Results:

  • refineD demonstrated consistent and substantial structural refinement on 150 benchmarking targets.
  • The method outperformed unrestrained relaxation, Rosetta's FastRelax, ModRefiner, and FG-MD protocols.
  • Adjusting restraint resolutions allowed control over the degree and consistency of refinement.

Conclusions:

  • Machine learning-based restraints offer a promising approach to guide conformational sampling in protein structure refinement.
  • refineD effectively improves the accuracy of template-based protein models.
  • The method provides a flexible way to balance refinement degree and consistency.
