蛋白质折叠的微正则与正则分析

Microcanonical versus Canonical Analysis of Protein Folding

J. Hernández-Rojas, J. M. Gomez Llorente

摘要:

微正则分析被证明是一个强大的工具来表征的蛋白质折叠过渡和整齐区分好和坏的文件夹。一个离格模型与参数选择代表这两种类型的聚合物被用来说明这种方法。正则和微正则系综。使用并行回火蒙特卡罗模拟进行所需的计算。折叠过渡的最显着的特点是有关其一阶的字符,即,S-弯曲模式的热量曲线,这引起负微正则比热,和双峰的能量分布函数在过渡温度。一个良好的文件夹模型被证明是相当强大的相互作用势参数的扰动。

英文摘要:

The microcanonical analysis is shown to be a powerful tool to characterize the protein folding transition and to neatly distinguish between good and bad folders. An off-lattice model with parameter chosen to represent polymers of these two types is used to illustrate this approach. Both canonical and microcanonical ensembles are employed. The required calculations were performed using parallel tempering Monte Carlo simulations. The most revealing features of the folding transition are related to its first-order-like character, namely, the S-bend pattern in the caloric curve, which gives rise to negative microcanonical specific heats, and the bimodality of the energy distribution function at the transition temperatures. Models for a good folder are shown to be quite robust against perturbations in the interaction potential parameters.
