- Abstract:
- Crystallization of alcohol dehydrogenase from Lactobacillus brevis and mutants was modeled in silico. Neutron and X-ray crystallography allowed the generation of valid crystal structure models as input for subsequent molecular dynamics free energy simulations. Protein nucleation and crystal growth is guided by thermodynamically stabilizing interactions at crystal contacts. Free energy guided design of protein variants was found to be a powerful new tool to control protein crystallization.

- Die Kristallisation der Alkoholdehydrogenase aus Lactobacillus brevis und Mutanten wurde in silico modelliert. Mit Neutronen- und Röntgenkristallographie wurden Strukturmodelle für Molekulardynamik Simulationen erzeugt. Nukleation und Wachstum von Proteinkristallen wird thermodynamisch durch stabilisierende Interaktionen an Kristallkontakten bestimmt. Die Gestaltung von Proteinvarianten über freie Energie Berechnungen stellt somit ein neues Werkzeug zur Kontrolle der Proteinkristallisation dar.
