摘 要: Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) or intrinsically disordered regions have not fixed tertiary structure, but play key roles in signal regulation, molecule recognition, and drug target. However it is difficult to study the structure and function of IDPs by traditional experimental methods because of their diverse conformations. Limitations of current generic protein force fields were reported in the previous simulations of IDPs. We have also explored to overcome these limitations by developing precise force fields to correct the dihedral distribution for all 20 naturally occurring amino acids, and environmental specific residues to further improve the quality in the modeling of IDPs. Extensive tests of IDPs and unstructured short peptides show that the simulated Cα chemical shifts with the precise force field are in quantitative agreement with those from NMR experiment and are more accurate than the base generic force field. Furthermore, the simulation effectiveness is also higher than other force fields. These findings confirm that the newly developed precise force field can improve the conformer sampling of intrinsically disordered proteins.
