摘要
Chignolin is an artificial mini-protein composed of 10 residues (GYDPETGTWG) that has been shown to cooperatively fold into a beta-hairpin structure in water. We extensively explored the conformational space of chignolin using a 180-ns multicanonical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and analyzed its folding free-energy landscape. In the MD trajectory, we found structures that satisfy 99% of the experimental restraints and are quite close to the experimentally determined structures with C-alpha root-mean-square-deviations of less than 0.5 angstrom. These structures formed a large cluster in the conformational space with the largest probability of existence, agreeing well with the experiment.
