蛋白质/DNA复合物平衡的晶体结构研究

Equilibrium study of Protein/DNA Complexes from Crystal Structure Data

Sudipta Samanta, J. Chakrabarti, Dhananjay Bhattacharyya

摘要:

从晶体结构数据和使用平衡统计力学的概念,我们展示了如何计算蛋白质/DNA复合物的热力学。我们将该方法应用于TATA盒结合蛋白(TBP)/TATA序列复合物。我们估计了每个碱基对(bp)的自由能和熵的变化。从自由能的曲率估计DNA的局部刚性。我们还估计了由于与特定bp形成键而导致的蛋白质的自由能增益。因此,我们计算出负责特异性结合的bp。

英文摘要:

From the crystal structure data and using the concept of equilbrium statistical mechanics we show how to calculate the thermodynamics of protein/DNA complexes. We apply the method to the TATA-box binding protein (TBP)/TATA sequence complex. We have estimated the change in free energy and entropy for each of the base pair (bp). The local rigidity of the DNA is estimated from the curvature of the free energy. We also estimate the free energy gain of the protein due to bond formation with a particular bp. We thus figure out the bps responsible for specific binding.
