摘要:

本文提出了一个具有异位对相互作用的球形蛋白质的极小模型来描述溶菌酶的平衡相行为。考虑到颗粒之间的排斥屏蔽库仑相互作用,假设净电荷均匀地涂抹在球形蛋白质表面上。我们将有吸引力的表面补丁,补丁之间的相互作用,在不同的领域建模的一个有吸引力的汤川潜力。进入吸引力汤川势部分的参数确定使用的实验访问的气体-液体的临界点上的信息。采用二阶热力学微扰理论计算了液固相的亥姆霍兹自由能。我们对溶解度曲线的预测与实验数据相当一致。此外,我们提出了新的实验数据的气液共存曲线在不同的盐浓度,并比较这些与我们的模型计算。与先前的研究结果一致,我们观察到的强度和范围的吸引力的潜力的一部分,只有弱依赖于盐的含量。

英文摘要:

We propose a minimal model for spherical proteins with aeolotopic pair interactions to describe the equilibrium phase behavior of lysozyme. The repulsive screened Coulomb interactions between the particles are taken into account assuming that the net charges are smeared out homogeneously over the spherical protein surfaces. We incorporate attractive surface patches, with the interactions between patches on different spheres modeled by an attractive Yukawa potential. The parameters entering the attractive Yukawa potential part are determined using information on the experimentally accessed gas-liquid-like critical point. The Helmholtz free energy of the fluid and solid phases is calculated using second-order thermodynamic perturbation theory. Our predictions for the solubility curve are in fair agreement with experimental data. In addition, we present new experimental data for the gas-liquid coexistence curves at various salt concentrations and compare these with our model calculations. In agreement with earlier findings, we observe that the strength and the range of the attractive potential part only weakly depend on the salt content.
