    Notes: The uncertainties in the refined parameters for a 1.5-Å X-ray structure of carbon-monoxy (FeII) myoglobin are estimated by combining energy minimization with least-squares refinement against the X-ray data. The energy minimization, done without reference to the X-ray data, provide perturbed structures which are used to restart conventional X-ray refinement. The resulting refined structures have the same, or better, R-factor and stereochemical parameters as the original X-ray structure, but deviate from it by 0.13 Å rms for the backbone atoms and 0.31 Å rms for the sidechain atoms. Atoms interacting with a disordered sidechain, Arg 45 CD3, are observed to have larger positional uncertainties. The uncertainty in the B-factors, within the isotropic harmonic motion approximation, is estimated to be 15%. The resulting X-ray structures are more consistent with the energy parameters used in simulations.

    Notes: Positional probability density functions (pdf) for the atomic fluctuations are determined from a molecular dynamics simulation for hen egg-white lysozyme. Most atoms are found to have motions that are highly anisotropic but only slightly anharmonic. The largest deviations from harmonic motion are in the direction of the largest rms fluctuations in the local principal axis frame. Backbone atoms tend to be more nearly harmonic than sidechain atoms. The atoms with the largest anharmonicities tend to have pdfs with multiple peaks, each of which is close to harmonic. Several model pdfs are evaluated on the basis of how well they fit probability densities from the dynamics simulations when parameterized in terms of the moments of the distribution. Gram-Charlier and Edgeworth perturbation expansions, which have been successful in describing the motions of small molecules in crystals, are shown to be inadequate for the distributions found in the dynamics of proteins. Multipeaked distribution functions are found to be more appropriate.

    Exploration of disorder in protein structures by X-ray restrained molecular dynamics (1991)

    Notes: Conformational disorder in crystal structures of ribonuclease-A and crambin is studied by including two independent structures in least-squares optimizations against X-ray data. The optimizations are carried out by X-ray restrained molecular dynamics (simulated annealing refinement) and by conventional least-squares optimization. Starting from two identical structures, the optimizations against X-ray data lead to significant deviations between the two, with rms backbone displacements of 0.45 Å for refinement of ribonuclease at 1.53 Å resolution, and 0.31 Å for crambin at 0.945 Å. More than 15 independent X-ray restrained molecular dynamics runs have been carried out for ribonuclease, and the displacements between the resulting structures are highly reproducible for most atoms. These include residues with two or more conformations with significant dihedral angle differences and alternative hydrogen bonding, as well as groups of residues that undergo displacements that are suggestive of rigid-body librations. The crystallographic R-values obtained are ≈ 13%, as compared to 15.3% for a comparable refinement with a single structure. Least-squares optimization without an intervening restrained molecular dynamics stage is sufficient to reproduce most of the observed displacements. Similar results are obtained for crambin, where the higher resolution of the X-ray data allows for refinement of unconstrained individual anisotropic temperature factors. These are shown to be correlated with the displacements in the two-structure refinements.

    Notes: The relation between protein secondary structure and internal motions was examined by using molecular dynamics to calculate positional fluctuations of individual helix, β-sheet, and loop structural elements in free and substrate-bound hen egg-white lysozyme. The time development of the fluctuations revealed a general correspondence between structure and dynamics; the fluctuations of the helices and β-sheets converged within the 101 psec period of the simulation and were lower than average in magnitude, while the fluctuations of theloop regions were not converged and were mostly larger than average in magnitude. Notable exceptions to this pattern occurred in the substrate-bound simulation. A loop region (residues 101-107) of the active site cleft had significantly reduced motion due to interactions withthe substrate. Moreover, part of a loop and a 310 helix (residues of 67-88) not in contact with the substrate showeda marked increase in fluctuations. That these differences in dynamics of free and substrate-bound lysozyme did not result simply from sampling errors was established by an analysis of the variations in the fluctuationsof the two halves of the 101 psec simulation of free lysozyme. Concerted transitions of four to five mainchain φ and ψ angles between dihedral wells were shown to be responsible for large coordinate shifts in the loops. These transitions displaced six or fewer residues and took place eitherabruptly, in 1 psec or less, or with a diffusive character over 5-10 psec. Displacements of rigid secondary structures involved longer timescale motions in bound lysozyme; a 0.5 Å rms change in the position of a helix occurred over the 55 psec simulation period. This helix reorientation within the protein appears to be a response to substrate binding. There was little correlation between the solvent accessible surface areaand the dynamics of the different structural elements.
