Use of the Molecular Dynamics Method to Investigate the Stability of α-α-Corner Structural Motifs in Proteins

This study investigated the stability of structural motifs via molecular dynamics, using α-α-corners as an example. A molecular dynamics experiment was performed on a sample of α-α-corners selected by the authors from the PDB database. For the first time during a molecular dynamics experiment, we investigated the characteristics of structural motifs by describing their geometry, including the interplanar distance, area of polygon of the helices projections intersection, and torsion angles between axes of helices in helical pairs. The torsion angles for the constriction amino acids in the equilibrium portion of the molecular dynamics trajectory were analyzed. Using the molecular dynamics method, α-α-corners were found to be autonomous structures that are stable in aquatic environments.
