摘要:

多肽链的卷曲到球状转变是球状蛋白折叠背后的物理现象。具有单个结构域的球状蛋白通常由约30至100个氨基酸残基组成,并且这种有限的大小延长了螺旋-球状相变的过渡间隔。在对两态模型进行迂腐推导的基础上,我们在两个协同性度量的表达式中引入了多肽链的氨基酸残基数量作为参数,并揭示了它们的物理意义。结果表明,与变性态简并度相关的$k_2$测度描述了参与跃迁的协同单元数,同时发现著名的条件$k_2=1$是将蛋白质分类为双态折叠的必要条件.我们还发现,$Ω_c$是简单的过渡时间间隔的平方成正比。这一事实使我们能够进行经典的尺寸标度分析的线圈球相变。此外,这两个措施被证明是描述不同的特点,蛋白质折叠。

英文摘要:

The coil to globule transition of the polypeptide chain is the physical phenomenon behind the folding of globular proteins. Globular proteins with a single domain usually consist of about 30 to 100 amino acid residues, and this finite size extends the transition interval of the coil-globule phase transition. Based on the pedantic derivation of the two-state model, we introduce the number of amino acid residues of a polypeptide chain as a parameter in the expressions for two cooperativity measures and reveal their physical significance. We conclude that the $k_2$ measure, related to the degeneracy of the denatured state, describes the number of cooperative units involved in the transition; additionally is found that the famous condition $k_2=1$ is just the necessary condition to classify the protein as the two-state folder. We also find that $Ω_c$ is simply proportional to the square of the transition interval. This fact allows us to perform the classical size scaling analysis of the coil-globule phase transition. Moreover, these two measures are shown to describe different characteristics of protein folding.
