Protein Organization01:24

Protein Organization

6.7K
Proteins are polymers of amino acid residues. They are versatile and responsible for different cellular functions, including DNA replication, molecular transport, catalysis, and structural support. Proteins have a hierarchical structure comprising at least three levels of organization: primary, secondary, and tertiary structure. Some large proteins have a quaternary structure where individual protein subunits are linked together.
The primary structure of a protein is its amino acid sequence....

Protein and Protein Structure

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...

Different notations are used to represent the three-dimensional structure of molecules on two-dimensional surfaces. One of the most commonly used representations is the dash-wedge formula. The dashed wedges, solid wedges, and the plane lines indicate the groups situated behind the plane, coming out of the plane, and in the plane, respectively.
The organic molecules rotate across the single bonds leading to numerous temporary three-dimensional structures of varying energy known as...

Polar and Cylindrical Coordinates

The Cartesian coordinate system is a very convenient tool to use when describing the displacements and velocities of objects and the forces acting on them. However, it becomes cumbersome when we need to describe the rotation of objects. So, when describing rotation, the polar coordinate system is generally used.

Area of Science:

  • Computational Biology
  • Structural Bioinformatics
  • Machine Learning

Background:

  • Biomolecular structure representation often uses internal coordinates (bonds, angles) which are transformed into 3D Cartesian coordinates.
  • Accurate transformation requires understanding subtle chemical correlations between internal coordinates.
  • Existing methods may lack fidelity or rely on static libraries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a machine learning algorithm for predicting internal coordinates (bond lengths, angles) from protein backbone torsion angles and residue types.
  • To improve the fidelity of 3D Cartesian coordinate representation of biomolecules.
  • To enable applications in protein structure validation and modeling of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs).

Main Methods:

  • Developed the Int2Cart machine learning algorithm.
  • Trained the algorithm to predict bond lengths and angles using backbone torsion angles and residue types.
  • Applied Int2Cart for protein structure reconstruction and IDP ensemble modeling.

Main Results:

  • Int2Cart reconstructs protein structures with higher fidelity compared to methods using fixed geometries or static libraries.
  • The agreement between Int2Cart-predicted and AlphaFold 2-derived geometries can serve as a model quality estimation metric.
  • Using Int2Cart to reconstruct IDP ensembles reduced the occurrence of steric clashes.

Conclusions:

  • Learning correlations among internal coordinates enhances the accuracy of biomolecular structure representation.
  • The Int2Cart algorithm offers a novel approach for protein structure prediction, validation, and IDP modeling.
  • Int2Cart is available as a public Python package, facilitating its use in the research community.
