摘要

Molecular dynamics (MD) is the only technique available for obtaining dynamic protein data at atomic spatial resolution and picosecond or finer temporal resolution. In recent years, the cost of computational resources has decreased exponentially while the number of known protein structures, many of which are not characterized biochemically, has increased rapidly. These events have led to an increase in the use of MD in biological research, both to examine phenomena that cannot be resolved experimentally and to generate hypotheses that direct further experimental research. In fact, several databases of MD simulations have arisen in recent years. MD simulations, and especially MD simulation databases, contain massive amounts of data, yet interesting phenomena often occur over very short time periods and on the scale of only a few atoms, Analysis of such data must balance these fine-detail events with the global picture they create. Here, we address the multiscale nature of the problem by comparing several MD analysis methods to show their strengths and weaknesses at various scales using the wild-type and R282W mutant forms of the DNA-binding domain of protein p53..By leveraging these techniques together, we are able to pinpoint fine-detail and big picture differences between the protein's variants. Our analyses indicate that the R282W mutation of p53 destabilizes the L1 loop and loosens the H2 helix conformation, but the loosened LI loop can be rescued by residue H115, preventing the R282W mutation from completely destabilizing the protein or abolishing activity.
