计算HOMFLY多项式的拓扑框架及其在蛋白质中的应用

A Topological Framework for the Computation of the HOMFLY Polynomial and Its Application to Proteins

Federico Comoglio, Maurizio Rinaldi

摘要:

聚合物可以被建模为开放的多边形路径,它们的闭合会生成结。结蛋白的检测目前是通过高通量的方法,基于一个共同的框架不敏感的结的手性。在这里,我们提出了一个拓扑框架的HOMFLY多项式,一个handedness敏感的不变的计算。我们的方法耦合多分量减少计划与多项式计算。在对列表结和链接进行验证后,将该框架应用于整个蛋白质数据库以及一组选定的拓扑检查,这些检查允许丢弃人工纠缠的结构。这导致了一个最新的打结蛋白质表,其中还包括两个新发现的右手三叶结在最近沉积的蛋白质结构。我们的框架的应用范围不限于蛋白质,它可以扩展到生物和合成聚合物的拓扑分析,更一般地任意多边形路径。

英文摘要:

Polymers can be modeled as open polygonal paths and their closure generates knots. Knotted proteins detection is currently achieved via high-throughput methods based on a common framework insensitive to the handedness of knots. Here we propose a topological framework for the computation of the HOMFLY polynomial, an handedness-sensitive invariant. Our approach couples a multi-component reduction scheme with the polynomial computation. After validation on tabulated knots and links the framework was applied to the entire Protein Data Bank along with a set of selected topological checks that allowed to discard artificially entangled structures. This led to an up-to-date table of knotted proteins that also includes two newly detected right-handed trefoil knots in recently deposited protein structures. The application range of our framework is not limited to proteins and it can be extended to the topological analysis of biological and synthetic polymers and more generally to arbitrary polygonal paths.
