Protein Design
• Create an amino acid sequence that adopts a desired conformation– Binds a desired small molecule– Catalyses a desired reaction

Dezymer
From Homme Hellinga’s Lab
• Use backbone of a known protein as a scaffold– Hang different sidechains from original C
• Sample the sidechain conformation space– Rotamer library
• Sample the ligand conformations inside binding pocket

Dezymer
• Combinatorial optimization– Find the best combination of rotamers to pack
around the ligand of interest.
• Dead End Elimination– Technique for pairwise-decomposable energy
functions

Why Move Backbones?
• We know backbones move.

Why Move Backbones?
• Increase power of design tools– Small motions can allow more rotamers to fit at a
given location Now search a larger sequence space.
– Understand more completely the result of sequence selection on backbone motion

Tools for Backbone Motion
• PROBIK @ UNC– Small motions for short backbone segments– Offers
• Motion Derivative Vectors• Matlab Interface

Incorporating Backbone Motion
• Generate Backbones Offline– Feed them into Dezymer
• Goal: Incorporate motions into DEE itself

Success of Dezymer
• TNT Binding Protein– 2 nM Kd
• R3– Ribose Binding Protein (2dri) scaffold
• Relaxed by molecular dynamics– Forces two phenylalanine rings in the binding pocket

R3 – Case Study
• Model of R3s structure is imperfect– Multiple Bad (>0.4 A) Overlaps– Phenylalanine rings un-stacked.

R3 – Case Study
• Use backbone motion to better explain R3’s success
• Suggest sequence modifications for more powerful receptors

R3 – PHE 190
• Small motion from 189 N-Ca-C Bond angle

R3 – Preliminary Results
• Dezymer result after PHE 190 BB Motion
