Internal protein dynamics shifts the distance to the mechanical transition state

Daniel K. West, Emanuele Paci, Peter D. Olmsted

摘要:

机械展开的多蛋白力谱提供了宝贵的洞察他们的自由能景观。展开过程的大多数唯象模型是两态和/或一维的,蛋白质及其动力学的细节通常被归入零力展开速率和到过渡态的单一距离$x_u^{1\textrm{D}}$。我们认为,在一个恒定的力的模型蛋白质的整个相空间,并显示距离$x_u^{1\textrm{D}}$包含一个相当大的贡献,从探索全多维能量景观。具有更多自由度的蛋白质预期具有更大的$x_u^{1\textrm{D}}$值。我们表明,外部连接的灵活的连接器也有助于测量的展开特性。

英文摘要:

Mechanical unfolding of polyproteins by force spectroscopy provides valuable insight into their free energy landscapes. Most phenomenological models of the unfolding process are two-state and/or one dimensional, with the details of the protein and its dynamics often subsumed into a zero-force unfolding rate and a single distance $x_u^{1\textrm{D}}$ to the transition state. We consider the entire phase space of a model protein under a constant force, and show that the distance $x_u^{1\textrm{D}}$ contains a sizeable contribution from exploring the full multidimensional energy landscape. Proteins with more degrees of freedom are expected to have larger values for $x_u^{1\textrm{D}}$. We show that externally attached flexible linkers also contribute to the measured unfolding characteristics.
