小球状蛋白质上的旋转摩擦:介电和流体动力学效应的组合

Rotational friction on small globular proteins: Combined dielectric and hydrodynamic effect

Arnab Mukherjee, Biman Bagchi

摘要:

已知蛋白质和大分子上的旋转摩擦至少来自两个不同的来源-流体动力学(由于粘度)和介电摩擦(由于极性相互作用)。在现有的理论方法中,后者的影响是以{ \it ad hoc}方式考虑的,通过增加蛋白质的尺寸并添加水合层。本文采用广义任意电荷分布模型(其中电荷由量子化学计算得到)计算了蛋白质表面的转动介电摩擦($ζ_{hyd}^{stick}$),并采用Harding [S. E. Harding,Comp. Biol. Med. { \bf 12},75(1982)]。流体动力学摩擦的计算仅用蛋白质的干体积(无水合层)进行。我们发现,通过对$ζ_{DF}$和$ζ_{hyd}^{stick}$求和获得的总摩擦力与实验结果具有合理的一致性,即,$ζ_{exp} \approx ζ_{DF} + ζ_{hyd}^{stick}$。

英文摘要:

Rotational friction on proteins and macromolecules is known to derive contributions from at least two distinct sources -- hydrodynamic (due to viscosity) and dielectric friction (due to polar interactions). In the existing theoretical approaches, the effect of the latter is taken into account in an {\it ad hoc} manner, by increasing the size of the protein with the addition of a hydration layer. Here we calculate the rotational dielectric friction on a protein ($ζ_{DF}$) by using a generalized arbitrary charge distribution model (where the charges are obtained from quantum chemical calculation) and the hydrodynamic friction with stick boundary condition, ($ζ_{hyd}^{stick}$) by using the sophisticated theoretical technique known as tri-axial ellipsoidal method, formulated by Harding [S. E. Harding, Comp. Biol. Med. {\bf 12}, 75 (1982)]. The calculation of hydrodynamic friction is done with only the dry volume of the protein (no hydration layer). We find that the total friction obtained by summing up $ζ_{DF}$ and $ζ_{hyd}^{stick}$ gives reasonable agreement with the experimental results, i.e., $ζ_{exp} \approx ζ_{DF} + ζ_{hyd}^{stick}$.
