    Summary

    This study introduces a lattice model for predicting protein folding, evaluating polypeptide chain conformations based on amino acid sequences. The model, using hydrophobic interactions, accurately predicts protein structures like trypsin inhibitor and ribonuclease S.

    Area of Science:

    • Computational biology
    • Protein structure prediction
    • Biophysics

    Context:

    • Understanding protein folding is crucial for deciphering biological functions and developing new therapeutics.
    • Current models often struggle with accurately predicting the complex three-dimensional structures of globular proteins from their amino acid sequences.
    • A simplified, yet effective, model is needed to approximate polypeptide chain folding.

    Purpose:

    • To develop a discrete, deterministic lattice model for evaluating globular protein folding.
    • To predict protein conformations based on amino acid sequences using a diamond lattice.
    • To incorporate hydrophobic interactions and beta-sheet contributions into an 'aim function' for optimization.

    Summary:

    • A self-avoiding chain growth model on a diamond lattice is proposed, starting from the N-terminus.
    • The model calculates an 'aim function' based on residue contacts and beta-sheet contributions, optimizing conformation via a cut-off method.
    • Applied to trypsin inhibitor and ribonuclease S, the model's accuracy depends on parameterization and search depth, with a proposed parametrization aligning with experimental data.

    Impact:

    • Provides a method for rough evaluation of polypeptide chain folding in globular proteins.
    • The proposed parametrization achieves agreement with experimental data for radii of gyration and interresidue contact matrices.
    • Highlights the limitations of lattice models while offering insights into protein structure prediction.
