蛋白質(zhì)熱穩(wěn)定性的計算機(jī)模擬.pdf

1、我們采用并行計算的分子動力學(xué)研究了蛋白質(zhì)的熱穩(wěn)定性,利用蛋白質(zhì)敲除的技術(shù)研究了局部的結(jié)構(gòu)對蛋白質(zhì)整體結(jié)構(gòu)的熱穩(wěn)定性的影響,另外還通過全電子結(jié)構(gòu)計算來研究蛋白質(zhì)分子的前線軌道和蛋白質(zhì)活性和熱穩(wěn)定性的聯(lián)系.我們的研究工作主要包括三個方面的內(nèi)容:1.用并行計算分子動力學(xué)模擬耐熱性鄰苯二酚雙加氧酶(TC23O)的熱穩(wěn)定性.蛋白質(zhì)的動力學(xué)轉(zhuǎn)變溫度的差異,說明了TC23O與同源蛋白1MPY相比有較高的熱穩(wěn)定性.通過分析與中子散射譜相關(guān)的指數(shù)β和定壓

2、熱容量Cp,揭示了蛋白質(zhì)中的228位的脯氨酸殘基、鹽橋Lys188N-Glu291OE1、金屬離子和水溶劑對蛋白質(zhì)熱穩(wěn)定性的影響存在一定的差異,其中突變體Pro228Ser和Glu291Gly的動力學(xué)相變溫度分別降低了10℃和19℃,四種金屬離子的替換后發(fā)現(xiàn)沒有顯著地影響蛋白質(zhì)的熱穩(wěn)定性,而水溶劑通過在一定程度上影響蛋白質(zhì)可能構(gòu)象的改變過程來改變蛋白質(zhì)的熱穩(wěn)定性.而所有的結(jié)果和已知實(shí)驗得到的結(jié)果有很好的吻合.2.用敲除蛋白質(zhì)分子的部分片

3、斷來研究相應(yīng)突變體的熱穩(wěn)定性.我們選擇的敲除主要有尾部的敲除、無規(guī)則卷曲的敲除和α-helix的去除,其中的突變體mut1在尾部切除了從300-319的9個殘基,突變體mut2從61-66的無規(guī)則卷曲上切除了6個殘基,突變體mut3從21-26的包含有部分α-helix的片段上切除6個殘基.3.用蛋白質(zhì)的全電子結(jié)構(gòu)計算研究了前線軌道與蛋白質(zhì)TC23O和突變體P228S的生物活性以及穩(wěn)定性的聯(lián)系.分析前線軌道發(fā)現(xiàn),在野生型突變體P228S

4、中出現(xiàn)的活性位點(diǎn)中心的殘基及其能級為TRP_196-10.63526和-9.98105,而突變體P228S中TYR_262-10.66049和TRP_196-9.98779.可以看出在蛋白質(zhì)的活性中心位點(diǎn),盡管二者有差距,但能級差距很小.也可能正因為如此,二者在常溫下并沒有特別明顯的酶催化活性的差別.另外在前線軌道里面出現(xiàn)了大量的參與維持蛋白質(zhì)穩(wěn)定的鹽橋的氨基酸殘基,在野生型和突變體P228的前線軌道中出現(xiàn)比例為1/6,說明前線軌道的成
