ABSTRACT
|
|
|
| |
|
To demonstrate the utility of the coarse-grained united-residue (UNRES) force
field to compare experimental and computed kinetic data for folding proteins, we
have performed long-time millisecond-timescale canonical Langevin molecular
dynamics simulations of the triple β-strand from the Formin binding protein 28
WW domain and six nonnatural variants, using UNRES. The results have been
compared with available experimental data in both a qualitative and a
quantitative manner. Complexities of the folding pathways, which cannot be
determined experimentally, were revealed. The folding mechanisms obtained from
the simulated folding kinetics are in agreement with experimental results, with
a few discrepancies for which we have accounted. The origins of single- and
double-exponential kinetics and their correlations with two- and three-state
folding scenarios are shown to be related to the relative barrier heights
between the various states. The rate constants obtained from time profiles of
the fractions of the native, intermediate, and unfolded structures, and the
kinetic equations fitted to them, correlate with the experimental values;
however, they are about three orders of magnitude larger than the experimental
ones for most of the systems. These differences are in agreement with the
timescale extension derived by scaling down the friction of water and averaging
out the fast degrees of freedom when passing from all-atom to a coarse-grained
representation. Our results indicate that the UNRES force field can provide
accurate predictions of folding kinetics of these WW domains, often used as
models for the study of the mechanisms of proein folding.
