Strategy

  1. Build systems with and without PDF (reduced 175k, full ~ 2M atoms).
  2. Using MD simulations generate conformational ensembles.
  3. Analyze structure and dynamics and search for differences caused by PDF.
  4. Perturb MD simulations and analyze systems' responses.

Maximally correlated motion

Hub, de Groot, PLoS Comput. Biol. 2009.

Aim: Get a statistical model to predict F.

  1. Cartesian coordinates ⟶ principle components (PCs).
  2. Dimensionality reduction (~100 PCs).
  3. Linear combination of selected PCs to correlate with F.

F ... true function (training)
mF ... model function (prediction)

10-residue uL22 tip

Summary

  • Surface of the ribosome and tunnel interior transfer information.
  • A model predicts presence/absence of PDF.
  • uL22 response depends on PDF.

Open questions

  • The connecting path remains to be described.
  • Some technical details need to be tested.
