Stability of tubular structures based on beta-helical proteins: self-assembled versus polymerized nanoconstructs and wild-type versus mutated sequences.

Abstract excerpt

In this work we used atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to examine different aspects of tubular nanostructures constructed using protein building blocks with a beta-helical conformation. Initially, we considered two different natural protein building blocks, which were extracted from the protein data base, to compare the relative stabilities of the nanotubes obtained made of self-assembled and covalently...
