Computational Methods for Modeling Protein Folding and Structure
1. Homology ModelingAssumes that proteins with similar sequences have
similar structures, alignments
2. Threading“Threads” sequence of unknown structure through
database of known structures and scores match based on contact potentials
3. Ab initio or de novo approachesDeduce 3-d structure for given sequence by finding
minimum energy based on force field

Types of Computer SimulationsTypes of Computer Simulations
1. Molecular Dynamics
a. Decide on model intermolecular forces
b. Distribute 500-100,000 molecules in simulation cell assigning random positions and velocities to each molecule
c. Monitor molecule’s motion as a function of time by solving Newton’s equation of motion (F=m*a) at each time step to predict new position and velocity
d. Take time averages of properties of interest
2. Monte Carlo
a. Decide on model intermolecular forces
b. Distribute 500-10,000 molecules at random locations in cell
c. Generate configurations of these molecules randomly (in proportion to their probability of occurring)
d. Take averages over all configurations generated to calculate properties of interest

Representing Protein Geometry• Atomic Resolution Models
Each atom on protein and on solvent molecules is represented as a sphere interacting via a realistic set of potentials based on the Lennard Jones potential and electrostatic Coulomb potential Includes correct bond lengths, bond angles, planar trans peptide bond, leads to faithful representation of protein geometry.
• Low resolution models ( Coarse-grained or Simplified Folding Models)Solvent molecules not included in the simulation.
Lattice Models: protein is chain of single-site amino acid residues arranged on the sites of a square or cubic lattice
Off-Lattice models: protein is a flexible chain of single-sphere amino acid residues interacting via Lennard Jones or other potentials
• Intermediate Resolution Models – in between

Why use simplified ( coarse-grained) protein models?
• All atom simulations take too long, can depend sensitively on the details, and sample only very early folding events.
• Simplified models allow us to learn general physical principles of protein folding. contain few parameters ,implicit biases.
• Allow complete exploration of conformational and sequence space

Lattice Models -The HP Model
• Energy function: amino acids are either hydrophobic (H) or polar(P),
• Hydrophobic beads, H, attract each other with strength ε when they are on neighboring lattice sites
U= ε [number H-H contacts]
