2 Virtual bond representation

3 Virtual bond representation of the protein backbone. Dotted lines are the virtual bonds connecting successive α-carbons. This representation takes advantage of the planarity of the three successive backbone bonds, Cαi-1-Ci, Ci-Ni and Ni-Cαi corresponding to each amino acid. The lengths of the virtual bonds are fixed to the extent that the bond lengths and bond angles are fixed and the amide bond adheres to the trans conformation.

4 Interatomic Distances for Hard-sphere Potentials As used in Ramachandran plots {Ramachandran, Ramakrishnan, et al ID: 501}.

5 Atomic Interactions Strong bonded interactions b Non bonded interactions r U = K( b b ) 0 2 θ U = K( θ θ ) 0 2 U = A r 12 B r 6 q 1 q 2 φ U = K( 1 cos( nφ)) = q1q r U 2

6 One could also include soft potentials (attractions) to the hard sphere potentials the intrinsic torsional potentials of the respective bonds N-Cα and Cα- C. They are threefold symmetric with minima at trans, gauche+ and gauche- states. repulsive attractive ionic

7 Number distribution of virtual bond torsions NA(ϕi, ϕi+1) for A = Gly, and Pro.

8 Coupling between virtual bond torsion and bending angles. The surfaces represent the number distributions from 150 PDB structures, irrespective of residue type.

9 Amino acid sidechains prefer angles near their ideal rotational isomeric states In addition to φ and ψ angles, proteins also have freedom in the side chain rotational angles. Moving along the side chain away from the backbone defines carbons identified as Cβ, Cγ, etc., and rotational angles as χ1, χ2, etc.; Two examples, Trp and Lys, illustrating the definition of the torsion angles χ1, χ2, etc. of amino acid side chains in proteins, along with the labels α, β, γ δ, etc. assigned to successive atoms for distinguishing their position along the sidechain. Nitrogen atoms are shown in black. Backbone atoms are on the right end in each case.

11 Distribution of the χ1 sidechain torsion angles for amino acids in α-helical and β-sheet regions compiled from 150 high resolution protein structures. The ordinate represents the total number of observations for each interval of size χ1 = 100. Note the relatively low probability of the gauchestate (χ1 = 60 o) for side chains on α-helices.

12 Coordination number (z) defines the number of neighbors (nonbonded) on the first coordination shell Distance from the center of the residue 6.8 Å Z = 7 in the core Z is 4 on the surface Z is smaller in small size proteins
