A Simple Model of Backbone Flexibility Improves Modeling of Side-chain Conformational Variability

Abstract: The considerable flexibility of side-chains in folded proteins is important for protein stability and function, and may play a role in mediating pathways of energetic connectivity between allosteric sites. While sampling side-chain degrees of freedom has been an integral part of several successful computational protein design methods, the predictions of these approaches have not been directly compared to experimental measurements of side-chain motional amplitudes. In addition, protein design methods generally … Show more

“…For each sequence variant, we computed 10,000 trial moves to create each 25 uncorrelated and low energy backbone structures using backrub simulations provided within the Rosetta modeling software package [38][39][40] . To generate additional structural ensemble diversity, we used our recently developed Monte Carlo method (MC-SCE) 41 , for which we have performed extensive validation across ~60 proteins through comparison to high quality X-ray crystallography data and NMR experiments, to characterize the side chain structural ensemble on the 25 backbone structures for KE15.…”

“…All these methods have attained some degree of success; however, none has emerged as clearly superior 13,14,16 . Current methods require improvements in terms of computational efficiency and/or accuracy 18,[20][21][22][23] . For those approaches that generate an ensemble containing a large number of low-resolution structures, refinement algorithms must be very effi-!…”
