15 Concept 1: Relevant vs. irrelevant degrees of freedom; Separation of time scales Water molecules: fast Brownian particle: slow 3 + noise

16 Concept 2: Collective degrees of freedom (quasi particles) m 1 m 2 x 2 c 2 x 1 x 2 c 1 x 1 M R c 1

17 Concept 2: Collective degrees of freedom (quasi particles)

18 Principal Component Analysis (PCA) Projection onto 2-dim subspace: v 2 v 1 Trajectory x(t) in 3N-dim configuration space

19 Idea: Combine two concepts: Concept 1: Relevant vs. irrelevant degrees of freedom Concept 2: Collective degrees of freedom PCA 95% of atomic motion Water molecules: fast Brownian particle: slow 3 + noise C i relevant...irrelevant

20 Fluctuation spectrum of BPTI Consider many-body system: M conformational coordinates c 95% of atomic motion Treat c M+1...c 3N as heat bath; then the c s form a canonical ensemble in the free energy landscape with: C i relevant...irrelevant H. Grubmüller, et al., Proceedings Nonlin. Excitations in Biomol., Les Houches (1994)

21 Quasi-harmonic approximation v 2 v 1

22 Quasi-harmonic approximation v 2 v 1

23 STEP 1: compute quasi harmonic free energy approximation from a conventional simulation STEP 2: compute flooding potential V fl STEP 3: carry out flooding simulations by including V fl into the molecular force field H.

51 Open Questions GTP hydrolysis sufficient to rapidly dissociate complexes? - Large surface, high interaction energy high affinity - Does distortion of NTRs serve as energy storage? Spring loaded molecules? (Matsuura and Stewart, Nature, 2004) CAS Discrete regions of flexibility or continuum of conformations? (Chook and Blobel, Curr. Opin. Struct. Biol., 2001) - Two independent arches?

52 Simulation of CAS/Cse1 Fast Spontaneous ring closure 20 Å change. Four independent simulations 10 ns simulation time Control: cargo present -> no changes
