- Abstract
- Protein model refinement a the crucial step in improving the quality of a predicted protein model. This study presents an NMR refinement protocol called TrioSA (torsion-angle and implicit-solvation-optimized simulated annealing) that improves the accuracy of backbone/side-chain conformations and the overall structural quality of proteins. TrioSA was applied to a subset of 3752 solution NMR protein structures accompanied by experimental NMR data: distance and dihedral angle restraints. We compared the initial NMR structures with the TrioSA-refined structures and found significant improvements in structural quality. In particular, we observed a reduction in both the maximum and number of NOE (nuclear Overhauser effect) violations, indicating better agreement with experimental NMR data. TrioSA improved geometric validation metrics of NMR protein structure, including backbone accuracy and the secondary structure ratio. We evaluated the contribution of each refinement element and found that the torsional angle potential played a significant role in improving the geometric validation metrics. In addition, we investigated protein-ligand docking to determine if TrioSA can improve biological outcomes. TrioSA structures exhibited better binding prediction compared to the initial NMR structures. This study suggests that further development and research in computational refinement methods could improve biomolecular NMR structural determination.
