RNA分子的平衡性质和力驱动的去折叠途径

Equilibrium properties and force-driven unfolding pathways of RNA molecules

A. Imparato, A. Pelizzola, M. Zamparo

摘要:

利用Ising样模型研究了一个简单的RNA发夹和一个236个碱基的四膜虫核酶的机械解折叠。相图和自由能景观计算精确,并建议一个简单的两个状态行为的发夹和核酶的中间状态的存在。非平衡态模拟给出了核酶可能的解折叠途径,主要的解折叠途径与实验观察到的解折叠途径一致。

英文摘要:

The mechanical unfolding of a simple RNA hairpin and of a 236--bases portion of the Tetrahymena thermophila ribozyme is studied by means of an Ising--like model. Phase diagrams and free energy landscapes are computed exactly and suggest a simple two--state behaviour for the hairpin and the presence of intermediate states for the ribozyme. Nonequilibrium simulations give the possible unfolding pathways for the ribozyme, and the dominant pathway corresponds to the experimentally observed one.
