Conserved Binding Sites

4.3K
Many proteins’ biological role depends on their interactions with their ligands, small molecules that bind to specific locations on the protein known as ligand-binding sites. Ligand-binding sites are often conserved among homologous proteins as these sites are critical for protein function.
Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally...

Protein-protein Interfaces

12.6K
Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a...

Area of Science:

  • Nanotechnology
  • Biomaterials Science
  • Protein Chemistry

Background:

  • Protein orientation on nanoparticle surfaces is crucial for bioactivity and biological interactions.
  • Understanding this orientation is key for developing effective nanomedicines.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create a residue-based affinity scale for predicting protein orientation on citrate-gold nanoparticles (AuNPs).
  • To enable high-throughput predictions of protein behavior on nanoparticles and improve nanomedicine design.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a residue-based affinity scale considering thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of protein adsorption.
  • Incorporated steric considerations for hydrophobic residues and electrostatic interactions for hydrophilic residues.
  • Validated the scale using the GB3 protein, two enzymes, and six additional enzymes from literature.

Main Results:

  • The scale accurately predicts protein orientation and active site accessibility on AuNPs.
  • Successfully rationalized the binding of GB3 protein and predicted enzyme behavior.
  • Accounted for the activity of five out of six additional enzymes on AuNPs.

Conclusions:

  • The developed model enables accurate, high-throughput prediction of protein orientation on nanoparticles.
  • Enhances understanding of the biomolecular corona, crucial for in vivo nanomedicine performance and safety.
