抗菌肽具有广谱抗菌特性,有望成为抗生素较好的替代产品.研究抗菌肽的抗菌机制,可以为新型抗菌肽的设计提供指导.无论抗菌肽采用哪种抗菌机制,其首先要稳定地吸附到细胞膜之上.因此,本文利用分子动力学模拟方法比较了抗菌小肽BLFcin6与5种不同细胞膜之间的相互作用.对这5种细胞膜而言,小肽会很快结合在POPG膜和DPPC-CHOL膜的表面,倾向于进入DPPC膜的疏水内部,与POPC膜和POPC-CHOL膜的接触很少.考察相互作用能,小肽与POPG膜的相互作用最强,主要是小肽与细胞膜亲水头部存在静电相互作用;小肽与DPPC膜的疏水尾部的相互作用较强,但受胆固醇影响,小肽只结合在DPPC-CHOL膜表面.在结合过程中,小肽N端的Arg会先结合到细胞膜上,静电相互作用在小肽锚定细胞膜的过程中起关键作用.以上研究从原子水平上解释了为什么BLFcin6小肽具有抗菌作用,哪些残基起关键作用,也为进一步开展BLFcin6小肽及其衍生小肽的研究奠定基础.  相似文献

Ydj1p是酵母细胞质中一种主要的I型Hsp40分子伴侣,Ydj1p锌指结构在传递底物给Hsp70时发挥重要的作用,锌指结构域的两个锌离子结合位点区域(ZBDⅠ和ZBDⅡ)与半胱氨酸形成配位键对底物传递中维持结构稳定非常重要。本研究通过分子动力学手段对Ydj1p与各锌指结构突变体进行了模拟,分析ZBDⅠ突变体关键残基C143S、C201S,ZBDⅡ突变体关键残基C162S、C185S的突变影响Hsp40与Hsp70的底物传递。分析结果表明,当锌指部位的氨基酸发生突变,不仅能影响Ydj1p的结构稳定性,也能影响底物的传递,并且锌指结构Ⅰ突变体和锌指结构Ⅱ突变体之间也具有明显差异。通过结合能量的分析以及构象变化比对,揭示了Ydj1p以及各锌指结构突变体底物结合能力的强弱,这与生化实验研究了Ydj1p锌指结构与Hsp70合作,帮助多肽传递的功能是至关重要的结果较为相近。  相似文献

采用分子动力学方法和全原子模型研究尿素和水分子对模型蛋白S-肽链结构转化的影响。模拟结果显示S-肽链的变性速率常数k值随着尿素浓度的增加而先降低后升高,在尿素浓度为2.9 mol/L时达到最低值。模拟了不同尿素浓度下尿素-肽链、水-肽链以及肽链分子氢键的形成状况。结果表明:尿素浓度较低时,尿素分子与S-肽链的极性氨基酸侧链形成氢键,但不破坏其分子内的骨架氢键,尿素在S-肽链水化层外形成限制性空间,增强了S-肽链的稳定性。随着尿素的升高,尿素分子进入S-肽链内部并与其内部氨基酸残基形成氢键,导致S-肽链的骨架氢键丧失,S-肽链发生去折叠。上述模拟结果与文献报道的实验结果一致,从分子水平上揭示了尿素对蛋白质分子结构变化的影响机制,对于研究和发展蛋白质折叠及稳定化技术具有指导意义。  相似文献

Val55是鸡胱抑素(Chicken cystatin,cC)铰链环状区的重要位点。本文采用分子动力学模拟的方法研究了V55位点突变对cC典型的淀粉样突变体I66Q结构稳定性的影响情况,并深入探讨了其分子机制。研究表明V55N和V55D对I66Q突变体都有稳定其结构的作用,但V55N的稳定作用更显著。进一步研究发现V55N和V55D对I66Q的这种稳定作用是由于突变后的55位残基与邻近残基形成了较多稳定的氢键,从而增加了自身位点及Loop1、β2-β3的稳定性,并进一步稳定了I66Q的α-螺旋和疏水核心结构。这可能最终阻碍胱抑素淀粉样突变体I66Q结构域交换的发生。  相似文献

Molecular dynamics simulations of three model lipid monolayers of 2,3-diacyl-D-glycerolipids, that contained stearoyl (18:0) in the position 3 and oleoyl (18:9cis), linoleoyl (18:26cis), or linolenoyl (18:33cis) in the position 2, have been carried out. The simulation systems consisted of 24 lipid molecules arranged in a rectangular simulation cell, with periodic boundary conditions in the surface plane. 1 nanosecond simulations were performed at T = 295 K. C-C and C-H bond order parameter profiles and the bond orientation distributions about the monolayer normal have been calculated. The relation of the distributions to the order parameters was analyzed in terms of maxima and widths of the distributions. The cis double bond order parameter is found to be higher than those of adjacent single C-C bonds. The widths of the two distributions of C-H bonds of the cis double bond segment in di- and triunsaturated molecules are much smaller than that obtained for methylene group located between the double bonds. The bond orientation distribution function widths depend on both the segment location in the chain and the segment chemical structure.  相似文献

In this paper it is shown that for 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene there exists a simple analytical relation between the orientational order parameter and the steady-state fluorescence anisotropy. This relation is derived on semi-empirical grounds. The order parameter and the true microviscosity for membranes as calculated from steady-state measurements are evaluated. For biological membranes the estimation of the order parameter from steady-state experiments is feasible, but the evaluation of the true microviscosity is not reliable. Also, the physiological relevance of the order parameter is discussed.  相似文献

The force fields Tersoff, CHARMM, COMPASS, CVFF and PCFF are compared using molecular calculations and simulations of SWNT thermal properties. The heat capacity results from the force fields vary significantly in the low (room) temperature range. The COMPASS force field best reproduces the phonon frequencies calculated from density functional theory and is consistent with the Raman scattering results. The temperature dependent behavior of SWNT heat capacity is investigated using harmonic and quasi-harmonic dynamics theories. The impact of quasi-harmonic analysis is not significant in the low and intermediate temperature range (below 500 K). Thus, force field comparisons based on the harmonic approximation are valid in that temperature range. Above 500 K, heat capacity results based on the Tersoff force field using a quasi-harmonic approximation are further investigated.  相似文献

Understanding the mechanisms of peptide-induced membrane disorder is critical to the design of novel antimicrobial and cell-penetrating peptides. One means of quantifying local structure and order/disorder is through the orientational order parameter, typically obtained using various spectroscopic approaches. We report here on the use of an image-based means of tracking the order parameter in supported lipid bilayers during peptide-induced disordering. By coupling polarized total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy with in situ atomic force microscopy, it is now possible to track changes in order parameter associated with peptide binding and insertion, as well as lipid headgroup and acyl chain reordering, while simultaneously resolving molecular-scale topographical changes. Interactions between the model antimicrobial peptide, indolicidin, and its fluorescent analog, TAMRA-indolicidin, with model eukaryotic (DOPC:DSPC:cholesterol) and prokaryotic (DOPE/DOPG) membranes were tracked using the fluorescent lipid reporters, DiI-C20 and BODIPY-PC. Changes in the order parameter upon membrane binding and insertion provided insights into the orientation of the peptide and the role of membrane chemistry and composition on insertion dynamics and membrane restructuring.  相似文献

Interaction of the calcium-channel antagonist dihydropyridines (DHPs), lacidipine and nifedipine, with a phospholipid bilayer was studied using 600 ps molecular dynamic simulations. We have constructed a double layer membrane model composed of 42 dimirystoyl-phosphatidylcholine molecules. The DHP molecules locate at about 7 Å from the centre of the membrane, inducing an asymmetry in the bilayer. While lacidipine did not induce significant local perturbations as judged by the gauche-trans isomerisation rate, nifedipine significantly decreased this rate, probably by producing a local rigidity of the membrane in the vicinity of the DHP.  相似文献

The size, location and structure of Pt clusters in H-mordenite have been investigated by molecular mechanics energy minimization and molecular dynamics simulation techniques using the Catalysis software of Molecular Simulations (MSI). Lattice energy minimizations are performed to study the effects of the specific framework aluminum positions on the location and stability of monoatomic Pt sites in H-mordenite. The lattice energies relative to the siliceous platinum-aluminosilicate structure reveal that the stability of a single Pt atom in H-mordenite is remarkably influenced by the specific location of the Al atoms in the lattice. At the studied Si/Al ratio of two Al ions per unit cell, a stabilization of the H-mordenite lattice upon Pt deposition is obtained. Moreover, lattice energy calculations on Pt/aluminosilicate mordenites of different metal contents per unit cell have been performed. An optimum size for the aggregate confined to the 12-ring main channel that is almost independent of the Pt content per mordenite unit cell has been found. The structural features of the resulting clusters at the end of molecular dynamics simulations on Pt/alumina-mordenites reflect a strong metal-zeolite interaction. The present results are consistent with a previous molecular dynamics simulation study on the structure of platinum deposited on SiO2 surfaces.  相似文献

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed for the prediction of chiral discrimination of N-acetylphenylalanine enantiomers by cyclomaltoheptaose (beta-cyclodextrin, beta-CD). Binding free energies and various conformational properties were obtained using by the MM-PBSA (molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann/surface area) approach. The calculated relative difference (DeltaDeltabinding) of binding free energy was in fine agreement with the experimentally determined value. The difference of rotameric distributions of guest N-acetylphenylalanine enantiomers complexed with the host, beta-CD, was observed after the conformational analyses, suggesting that the conformational changes of guest captured within host cavity would be a decisive factor for enantiodifferentiation at a molecular level.  相似文献

Molecular dynamics simulations have become a popular and powerful technique to study lipids and membrane proteins. We present some general questions and issues that should be considered prior to embarking on molecular dynamics simulation studies of membrane proteins and review common simulation methods. We suggest a practical approach to setting up and running simulations of membrane proteins, and introduce two new (related) methods to embed a protein in a lipid bilayer. Both methods rely on placing lipids and the protein(s) on a widely spaced grid and then 'shrinking' the grid until the bilayer with the protein has the desired density, with lipids neatly packed around the protein. When starting from a grid based on a single lipid structure, or several potentially different lipid structures (method 1), the bilayer will start well-packed but requires more equilibration. When starting from a pre-equilibrated bilayer, either pure or mixed, most of the structure of the bilayer stays intact, reducing equilibration time (method 2). The main advantages of these methods are that they minimize equilibration time and can be almost completely automated, nearly eliminating one time consuming step in MD simulations of membrane proteins.  相似文献

Recombinant Desulfovibrio vulgaris flavodoxin was produced inEscherichia coli. A complete backbone NMR assignment for the two-electronreduced protein revealed significant changes of chemical shift valuescompared to the oxidized protein, in particular for the flavinemononucleotide (FMN)-binding site. A comparison of homo- and heteronuclearNOESY spectra for the two redox states led to the assumption that reductionis not accompanied by significant changes of the global fold of the protein.The backbone dynamics of both the oxidized and reduced forms of D. vulgarisflavodoxin were investigated using two-dimensional15N-1H correlation NMR spectroscopy.T1, T2 and NOE data are obtained for 95%of the backbone amide groups in both redox states. These values wereanalysed in terms of the model-free approach introduced by Lipari andSzabo [(1982) J. Am. Chem. Soc., 104, 4546-;4559, 4559-;4570]. Acomparison of the two redox states indicates that in the reduced speciessignificantly more flexibility occurs in the two loop regions enclosing FMN.Also, a higher amplitude of local motion could be found for the N(3)H groupof FMN bound to the reduced protein compared to the oxidized state.  相似文献
