    Notes: [Auszug] The fundamental event in biological assembly is association of two biological macromolecules. Here we present a successful, accurate ab initio prediction of the binding of uncomplexed lysozyme to the HyHel5 antibody. The prediction combines pseudo Brownian Monte Carlo minimization with a ...

    Notes: An efficient methodology, further referred to as ICM, for versatile modeling operations and global energy optimization on arbitrarily fixed multimolecular systems is described. It is aimed at protein structure prediction, homology modeling, molecular docking, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) structure determination, and protein design. The method uses and further develops a previously introduced approach to model biomolecular structures in which bond lengths, bond angles, and torsion angles are considered as independent variables, any subset of them being fixed. Here we simplify and generalize the basic description of the system, introduce the variable dihedral phase angle, and allow arbitrary connections of the molecules and conventional definition of the torsion angles. Algorithms for calculation of energy derivatives with respect to internal variables in the topological tree of the system and for rapid evaluation of accessible surface are presented. Multidimensional variable restraints are proposed to represent the statistical information about the torsion angle distributions in proteins. To incorporate complex energy terms as solvation energy and electrostatics into a structure prediction procedure, a “double-energy” Monte Carlo minimization procedure in which these terms are omitted during the minimization stage of the random step and included for the comparison with the previous conformation in a Markov chain is proposed and justified. The ICM method is applied successfully to a molecular docking problem. The procedure finds the correct parallel arrangement of two rigid helixes from a leucine zipper domain as the lowest-energy conformation (0.5 Å root mean square, rms, deviation from the native structure) starting from completely random configuration. Structures with antiparallel helixes or helixes staggered by one helix turn had energies higher by about 7 or 9 kcal/mol, respectively. Soft docking was also attempted. A docking procedure allowing side-chain flexibility also converged to the parallel configuration starting from the helixes optimized individually. To justdy an internal coordinate approach to the structure prediction as opposed to a Cartesian one, energy hypersurfaces around the native structure of the squash seeds trypsin inhibitor were studied. Torsion angle minimization from the optimal conformation randomly distorted up to the rms deviation of 2.2 Å or angular rms deviation of l0° restored the native conformation in most cases. In contrast, Cartesian coordinate minimization did not reach the minimum from deviations as small as 0.3 Å or 2°. We conclude that the most promising detailed approach to the protein-folding problem would consist of some coarse global sampling strategy combined with the local energy minimization in the torsion coordinate space. © 1994 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: An efficient algorithm for parallelization of a molecular mechanics program operating in the space of internal coordinates such as dihedral angles, bond angles, and bond lengths is described. The iterative procedure to calculate analytical energy derivatives with respect to the internal coordinates was modified to allow parallelization. Computationally intensive modules that calculate energy and its derivatives, solvent-accessible surface, electrostatic polarization energy and that update lists of interactions were parallelized with nearly 100% efficiency. The proposed strategy for the shared-memory computer architecture is easily scalable and requires minimum changes in a program code. The overall speedup for a realistic calculation minimizing the energy of a myoglobin reaches a factor of 3 for 4 processors. © 1994 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Eight protein-ligand complexes were simulated by using global optimization of a complex energy function, including solvation, surface tension, and side-chain entropy in the internal coordinate space of the flexible ligand and the receptor side chains [Abagyan, R.A., Totrov, M.M. J. Mol. Biol. 235:983-1002, 1994]. The procedure uses two types of efficient random moves, a pseudobrownian positional move [Abagyan, R.A., Totrov, M.M., Kuznetsov, D.A. J. Comp. Chem. 15:488-506, 1994] and a Biased-Probability multitorsion move [Abagyan, R.A., Totrov, M.M. J. Mol. Biol. 235:983-1002, 1994], each accompanied by full local energy minimization. The best docking solutions were further ranked according to the interaction energy, which included intramolecular deformation energies of both receptor and ligand, the interaction energy, surface tension, side-chain entropic contribution, and an electrostatic term evaluated as a boundary element solution of the Poisson equation with the molecular surface as a dielectric boundary. The geometrical accuracy of the docking solutions ranged from 30% to 70% according to the relative displacement error measure at a 1.5 Å scale. Similar results were obtained when the explicit receptor atoms were replaced with a grid potential. Proteins, Suppl. 1:215-220, 1997. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Five models by homology containing insertions and deletions and ranging from 33% to 48% sequence identity to the known homologue, and one high sequence identity (85%) model were built for the CASP2 meeting. For all five low identity targets: (i) our starting models were improved by the Internal Coordinate Mechanics (ICM) energy optimization, (ii) the refined models were consistently better than those built with the automatic SWISS-MODEL program, and (iii) the refined models differed by less than 2% from the best model submitted, as judged by the residue contact area difference (CAD) measure [Abagyan, R.A., Totrov, M.J. Mol. Biol. 268:678-685, 1997]. The CAD measure is proposed for ranking models built by homology instead of global root-mean-square deviation, which is frequently dominated by insignificant yet large contributions from incorrectly predicted fragments or side chains. We demonstrate that the precise identification of regions of local backbone deviation is an independent and crucial step in the homology modeling procedure after alignment, since aligned fragments can strongly deviate from the template at various distances from the alignment gap or even in the ungapped parts of the alignment. We show that a local alignment score can be used as an indicator of such local deviation. While four short loops of the meeting targets were predicted by database search, the best loop 1 from target T0028, for which the correct database fragment was not found, was predicted by Internal Coordinate Mechanics global energy optimization at 1.2 Å accuracy. A classification scheme for errors in homology modeling is proposed. Proteins, Suppl. 1:29-37, 1997.© 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Five models have been built by the ICM method for the Comparative Modeling section of the Meeting on the Critical Assessment of Techniques for Protein Structure Prediction. The targets have homologous proteins with known three-dimensional structure with sequence identity ranging from 25 to 77%. After alignment of the target sequence with the related three-dimensional structure, the modeling procedure consists of two subproblems: side-chain prediction and loop prediction. The ICM method approaches these problems with the following steps: (1) a starting model is created based on the homologous structure with the conserved portion fixed and the noncon-served portion having standard covalent geometry and free torsion angles; (2) the Biased Probability Monte Carlo (BPMC) procedure is applied to search the subspaces of either all the nonconservative side-chain torsion angles or torsion angles in a loop backbone and surrounding side chains. A special algorithm was designed to generate low-energy loop deformations. The BPMC procedure globally optimizes the energy function consisting of ECEPP/3 and solvation energy terms. Comparison of the predictions with the NMR or crystallographic solutions reveals a high proportion of correctly predicted side chains. The loops were not correctly predicted because imprinted distortions of the backbone increased the energy of the near-native conformation and thus made the solution unrecognizable. Interestingly, the energy terms were found to be reliable and the sampling of conformational space sufficient. The implications of this finding for the strategies of future comparative modeling are discussed. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
