Fabry:Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Fabry Disease » Molecular Dynamics Simulations

The following analyses were performed on the basis of the α-Galactosidase A sequence. Please consult the journal for the commands used to generate the results.

Preparation

<figtable id="tab:MutSCWRL"> Mutagenesis of the 2 selected SNPs performed with SCWRL in Task 8. This was done on the basis of a backbone dependant library. The wildtype amino acid is shown in green, the mutated one in red. The whole structure of the wildtype is colored light blue, the mutant light red. Hydrogen bonds of the mutant to the surrounding are depicted in red, those of the not mutated site in green.

R118H

R356W

</figtable>

We chose to use the SNPs R118H and R356W. For the first one we want to examine if it is really not disease causing, although all results indicate otherwise so far. The second one has a strong effect on the protein. For both, we used the structur obtained by Scwrl in Task 8

Intermediate PDB files

<figtable id="tab:files"> The following files were obtained from a short test run with the wild type structure 3S5Y. The chain itself is shown in pink, everything else in blue.

file name	properties	picture
3S5Y_chainA_repaired.pdb	Original pdb file of structure 3S5Y, after applying repairPDB to it
3S5Y_chainA_repaired_br.pdb	Structure 3S5Y, removed ligands, water
3S5Y_chainA_repaired_dna.pdb	Contains potential included DNA from original structure file	--
3S5Y_chainA_repaired_nh.pdb	No hydrogens
3S5Y_chainA_repaired_repair.pdb	repaired pdb file for structure 3S5Y
3S5Y_chainA_repaired_sc.pdb	SCWRL applied to the structure. Although we used the SCWRL output file from last week's task there were some changes in the secondary structure. One example can be seen in the lower picture. The original structure is shown in pink, the SCWRL changed one in green.
