Abstract

On the basis of extensive molecular dynamics trajectories of several proteins into the submicrosecond range, quantitative relationships between the configurational entropy and NMR S2 order parameters are derived. Configurational entropies determined in dihedral angle space for each amino acid type are accurately parametrized in terms of arithmetically-averaged order parameters of selected N−H, C−H, and C−CH3 vectors that are accessible by NMR spectroscopy. The resulting amino acid-specific relationships have high accuracy and provide a simple dictionary for the quantitative conversion of experimental NMR S2 order parameters into the total configurational entropy and its changes. This dictionary overcomes important limitations of previous entropy estimates from NMR dynamics data.

Da-Wei Li, Scott A. Showalter, and Rafael BrüschweilerThe Journal of Physical Chemistry B2010 114 (48), 16036-16044The configurational entropy of a protein is under physiological conditions a major contributor to the free energy. Its quantitative characterization is therefore an important step toward the understanding of protein function. The configurational entropy ...
