Abstract:
:The x-ray conformations of 5-, 7-, 9-, and 12-residue loops in bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) were predicted by the use of multiple independent Monte Carlo simulating annealing (MCSA) runs starting from random conformations. Four buried water molecules interacted with a 12-residue loop that started at residue 8 and ended at residue 19, and that included the binding region. The final conformation at the end of an MCSA run was characterized. Solvation free energy based on the solvent accessible surface area was included in the energy function at low simulated annealing temperatures. Conformational states were interactively separated by a recently developed algorithm. Computed loops were characterized in terms of total energy, and backbone and side chain root mean square deviations (RMSDs) between computed native loop conformations and the x-ray conformation. The 12-residue loop was computed with and without buried water [called WL12(8-19) and L12(8-19), respectively]. The backbone was reliably and reproducibly computed to within 1.1 A in L12(8-19) and 0.9 A in WL12(8-19). L12(8-19) required significantly more MCSA runs to achieve the same level of reproducibility as WL12(8-19). Based on the size of the cluster of low energy native loop conformations, and the computational effort, WL12(8-19) had greater entropy. In calculations of 7-, 9-, and 12-residue loops without buried water, the effects of buried water became obvious in the 12-residue loop calculation, which interacted with all four buried water molecules. Nearly all conformations of the native loop conformer had a hydrogen bond between the Lys 15 side chain and the backbone of Gly 12, Pro 13, and Cys 14, which may have implications in the rate of exchange of buried water with bulk solvent and in protein folding. The present version of MCSA program was more efficient than earlier versions.
