Microsecond molecular dynamics simulation of guanidinium chloride induced unfolding of ubiquitin
文献信息

An all atom molecular dynamics simulation was used to explore the atomic detail mechanism of guanidinium induced unfolding of the protein ubiquitin. Ubiquitin unfolds through pre-unfolded (intermediate) states, i.e. guanidinium induced unfolding of ubiquitin appears to be a multi-step process, and loss of hydrophobic contacts of C-terminal residues is crucial for ubiquitin unfolding. Free-energy landscapes show that barrier separation between folded and unfolded basins is ∼5.0 kcal mol−1, and both the basins are of comparable energy. It was observed that guanidinium ions interact directly with ubiquitin. Favorable electrostatic interaction is the main driving force for such accumulation of guanidinium ions near protein, but van der Waals energy also contributes. RDF plots show that accumulation of guanidinium ions near specific residues is the main cause for destabilization of intra-residue interactions crucial to maintain the three-dimensional fold of the protein. One salt-bridge interaction between Lys11 and Glu34 appears to be important to maintain the crystal structure of ubiquitin and this salt-bridge can map the unfolding process of ubiquitin.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
