Inhibitors bovine pancreatic trypsin

As examples of applications, we present the overall accuracy of predicted ionization constants for about 50 groups in 4 proteins, changes in the average charge of bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor at pH 7 along a molecular dynamics trajectory, and finally, we discuss some preliminary results obtained for protein kinases and protein phosphatases. 

The presented algorithm was applied to 4 proteins (lysozyme, ribonuclease A, ovomucid and bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor) containing 51 titratable residues with experimentally known pKaS [32, 33]. Fig. 2 shows the correlation between the experimental and calculated pKaS. The linear correlation coefficient is r = 0.952 the slope of the line is A = 1.028 and the intercept is B = -0.104. This shows that the overall agreement between the experimental and predicted pKaS is good.

In periodic boimdary conditions, one possible way to avoid truncation of electrostatic interaction is to apply the so-called Particle Mesh Ewald (PME) method, which follows the Ewald summation method of calculating the electrostatic energy for a number of charges [27]. It was first devised by Ewald in 1921 to study the energetics of ionic crystals [28]. PME has been widely used for highly polar or charged systems. York and Darden applied the PME method already in 1994 to simulate a crystal of the bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) by molecular dynamics [29].

The details of many all-atom unfolding simulation studies have been summarized in several reviews [17,46,47]. These studies include unfolding simulations of a-lactalbumin, lysozyme, bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI), barnase, apomyoglobin, [3-lacta-mase, and more. The advantage of these simulations is that they provide much more detailed information than is available from experiment. However, it should be stressed that there is still only limited evidence that the pathways and intermediates observed in the nanosecond unfolding simulations correlate with the intermediates observed in the actual experiments.

We extrapolate from two simulations, the 10 ps simulation on bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) reported over twenty years ago [61] and the recent 1 gs simulation on the villin headpiece subdomain. [9] Each of these was a state-of-the-art simulation, using the best algorithms and the most powerful hardware available at the time.

Several proteins from different sources have been shown to maintain stability at high temperatures and NMR studies have been carried out in order to reveal their structures and/or to understand their activity. The most relevant references of a miscellany of thermostable proteins are reported in Table 3. Some of them such as bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI), thermolysin and lysozyme have been widely studied as model systems in protein science.
