Opis:
The main structural element of biological membranes is a liquid-crystalline lipid bilayer. Other constituents, i.e. proteins, sterols and peptides, either intercalate into or loosely attach to the bilayer. We applied a molecular dynamics simulation method to study membrane systems at various levels of compositional complexity. The studies were started from simple lipid bilayers containing a single type phosphatidylcholine (PC) and water molecules (PC bilayers). As a next step, cholesterol (Chol) molecules were introduced to the PC bilayers (PC-Chol bilayers). These studies provided detailed information about the structure and dynamics of the membrane/water interface and the hydrocarbon chain region in bilayers built of various types of PCs and Chol. This enabled studies of membrane systems of higher complexity. They included the investigation of an integral membrane protein in its natural environment of a PC bilayer, and the antibacterial activity of magainin-2. The latter study required the construction of a model bacterial membrane which consisted of two types of phospholipids and counter ions. Whenever published experimental data were available, the results of the simulations were compared with them.

Opis:
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations complement experimental methods in studies of the structure and dynamics of lipid bilayers. The choice of algorithms employed in this computational method represents a trade-off between the accuracy and real calculation time. The largest portion of the simulation time is devoted to calculation of long-range electrostatic interactions. To speed-up evaluation of these interactions, various approximations have been used. The most common ones are the truncation of long-range interactions with the use of cut-offs, and the particle-mesh Ewald (PME) method. In this study, several multi-nanosecond cut-off and PME simulations were performed to establish the influence of the simulation protocol on the bilayer properties. Two bilayers were used. One consisted of neutral phosphatidylcholine molecules. The other was a mixed lipid bilayer consisting of neutral phosphatidylethanolamine and negatively charged phosphatidylglycerol molecules. The study shows that the cut-off simulation of a bilayer containing charge molecules generates artefacts; in particular the mobility and order of the charged molecules are vastly different from those determined experimentally. In the PME simulation, the bilayer properties are in general agreement with experimental data. The cut-off simulation of bilayers containing only uncharged molecules does not generate artefacts, nevertheless, the PME simulation gives generally better agreement with experimental data.

Opis:
Molecular dynamics simulations of 1,2-di-O-acyl-3-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-sn-glycerol (MGDG) and 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DOPC) bilayers were carried out to compare the effect of the lipid head group's chemical structure on the dynamics and orientational order of the water molecules hydrating the bilayer. The effect of the bilayers on the diffusion of water is strong for the neighbouring water molecules i.e., those located not further than 4 Å from any bilayer atom. This is because the neighbouring water molecules are predominantly hydrogen bonded to the lipid oxygen atoms and their mobility is limited to a confined spatial volume. The choline group of DOPC and the galactose group of MGDG affect water diffusion less than the polar groups located deeper in the bilayer interface, and similarly. The latter is an unexpected result since interactions of water with these groups have a vastly different origin. The least affected by the bilayer lipids is the lateral diffusion of unbound water in the bilayer plane (x,y-plane) - it is because the diffusion is not confined by the periodic boundary conditions, whereas that perpendicular to the plane is. Interactions of water molecules with lipid groups also enforce certain orientations of water dipole moments. The profile of an average water orientation along the bilayer normal for the MGDG bilayer differs from that for the DOPC bilayer. In the DOPC bilayer, the ordering effect of the lipid head groups extends further into the water phase than in the MGDG bilayer, whereas inside the bilayer/water interface, ordering of the water dipoles in the MGDG bilayer is higher. It is possible that differences in the profiles of an average water orientation across the bilayer in the DOPC and MGDG bilayers are responsible for differences in the lateral pressure profiles of these bilayers.

Opis:
The structure of native α1-antitrypsin, the most abundant protease inhibitor in human plasma, is characterised primarily by a reactive loop containing the centre of proteinase inhibition, and a β-sheet composed of five strands. Mobility of the reactive loop is confined as a result of electrostatic interactions between side chains of Glu342 and Lys290, both located at the junction of the reactive loop and the β structure. The most common mutation in the protein, resulting in its inactivation, is Glu342→Lys, named the Z mutation. The main goal of this work was to investigate the influence of the Z mutation on the structure of α1-antitrypsin. Commonly used molecular modelling methods have been applied in a comparative study of two protein models: the wild type and the Z mutant. The results indicate that the Z mutation introduces local instabilities in the region of the reactive loop. Moreover, even parts of the protein located far apart from the mutation region are affected. The Z mutation causes a relative change in the total energy of about 3%. Relatively small root mean square differences between the optimised structures of the wild type and the Z mutant, together with detailed analysis of 'conformational searching' process, lead to the hypothesis that the Z mutation principally induces a change in the dynamics of α1-antitrypsin.
