摘要

The folding cooperativity is an important issue of protein folding dynamics. Since the nativetopology plays a significant role in determining the folding behavior of proteins, we believe that italso has close relationship with the folding cooperativity. In the present work, we performsimulations on proteins Naf-BBL, QNND-BBL, CI2, and SH3 with the Gō model and compare theirdifferent folding behaviors. By analyzing the weak cooperative folding of protein Naf-BBL in detail,we found that the folding of Naf-BBL shows relatively weak thermodynamic coupling betweenresidues, and such weak coupling is found mainly between the nonlocal native contacts. This findingcomplements our understandings on the source of barrierless folding of Naf-BBL and promotes usto analyze the topological origins of the poor thermodynamic coupling of Naf-BBL. Then, wefurther extend our analysis to other two-state and multistate proteins. Based on the considerations ofthe thermodynamic coupling and kinetic coupling, we conclude that the fraction of scattered nativecontacts, the difference in loop entropy of contacts, and the long range relative contact order are themajor topological factors that influence the folding cooperativity. The combination of these threetertiary structural features shows significant correlations with the folding types of proteins.Moreover, we also discuss the topological factors related to downhill folding. Finally, the genericrole of tertiary structure in determining the folding cooperativity is summarized.
