Folding Pathways for Initiator and Effector Procaspases from Computer Simulations

Folding Pathways for Initiator and Effector Procaspases from Computer Simulations

The folding pathways of procaspases 3, 7, and 8 have been studied using a Go-like Hamiltonian and molecular dynamics simulations coupled with a parallel tempering scheme. The folding pathways and the overall structures of procaspases 3 and 7 are similar, and are characterized by monomeric as well as...
