项目摘要

We have been advocating the uses of Monte Carlo simulated annealing and multi-canonical algorithms for the prediction of protein tertiary structures.We have been mainly trying the predictions from the first principles.However, it is the purpose of the present project to show that these methods can also be used for the structural refinement in X-ray and NMR experiments.In the first year of the project, we first introduced the RISM theory for accurate inclusion of solvent effects and combined RISM and simulated annealing method.As for multicanonical algorithms, it is non-trivial to obtain the probability factor for simulations.It is thus important to develop an efficient method that allows an easy determination of the weight factor.We have invented such a method based on Tsallis statistical mechanics and tested the effectiveness with a penta peptide, Met-enkephalin.In the second year of the project, we first developed a molecular dynamics version of the above new method that is based on Tsallis statistical mechanics.This is important, since structural refinements in X-ray and NMR experiments are usually based on molecular dynamics method.We further succeeded in the prediction of the tertiary structures of C-peptide of ribonuclease A by multicanonical simulations.We also predicted the tertiary structures of a bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor fragment by simulated annealing.It was found that these simulation results are in good agreement with those of X-ray and NMR experiments.

我们一直提倡使用蒙特卡罗模拟退火和多规范算法来预测蛋白质三级结构。我们主要尝试从第一原理进行预测。但是，本项目的目的是表明这些方法还可以用于 X 射线和核磁共振实验中的结构细化。在项目的第一年，我们首先引入了 RISM 理论以精确包含溶剂效应，并将 RISM 和模拟退火相结合对于多规范算法来说，获得用于模拟的概率因子并非易事。因此，开发一种能够轻松确定权重因子的有效方法非常重要。我们发明了这种基于 Tsallis 统计力学的方法并测试了五肽 Met-enkephalin 的有效性。在该项目的第二年，我们首先开发了上述新方法的分子动力学版本，该方法基于 Tsallis 统计力学。这很重要，因为结构改进X射线和核磁共振实验通常基于分子动力学方法。我们进一步通过多规范模拟成功预测了核糖核酸酶A的C肽的三级结构。我们还通过模拟预测了牛胰蛋白酶抑制剂片段的三级结构发现这些模拟结果与X射线和核磁共振实验结果吻合得很好。
