Title: A Multiscale Computational Model for Simulating the Kinetics of Protein Complex Assembly. Author: Chen J, Wu Y. Journal: Methods Mol Biol; 2018; 1764():401-411. PubMed ID: 29605930. Abstract: Proteins fulfill versatile biological functions by interacting with each other and forming high-order complexes. Although the order in which protein subunits assemble is important for the biological function of their final complex, this kinetic information has received comparatively little attention in recent years. Here we describe a multiscale framework that can be used to simulate the kinetics of protein complex assembly. There are two levels of models in the framework. The structural details of a protein complex are reflected by the residue-based model, while a lower-resolution model uses a rigid-body (RB) representation to simulate the process of complex assembly. These two levels of models are integrated together, so that we are able to provide the kinetic information about complex assembly with both structural details and computational efficiency.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
