Funnels, pathways, and the energy landscape of protein folding: a synthesis

JD Bryngelson, JN Onuchic, ND Socci… - Proteins: Structure …, 1995 - Wiley Online Library
… Here we illustrate this kind of discussion by focusing on some recent results of Socci and
Onuchic which find evidence for specific features arising from energy landscape analysis.” In …

Theory of protein folding: the energy landscape perspective

JN Onuchic, Z Luthey-Schulten… - Annual review of …, 1997 - annualreviews.org
… Lattice simulations by Socci & Onuchic support this notion (54). An important qualitative
result of their analysis was that the search difficulties that can only occur because of landscape …

Navigating the folding routes

PG Wolynes, JN Onuchic, D Thirumalai - Science, 1995 - science.org
Onuchic et aI. look at real protein folding by developing a law of corresponding states (2). …
Similarly, Onuchic et al. argue that the detailed local structural features like the hydrogen …

Theory of protein folding

JN Onuchic, PG Wolynes - Current opinion in structural biology, 2004 - Elsevier
… Other global trends of folding are predicted by purely analytical treatments, as reviewed by
Plotkin and Onuchic 37., 38.. Free energy functional schemes based on polymer theory 39., …

Direct-coupling analysis of residue coevolution captures native contacts across many protein families

…, C Sander, R Zecchina, JN Onuchic… - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
The similarity in the three-dimensional structures of homologous proteins imposes strong
constraints on their sequence variability. It has long been suggested that the resulting …

Protein electron transfer rates set by the bridging secondary and tertiary structure

DN Beratan, JN Betts, JN Onuchic - Science, 1991 - science.org
The rate of long-distance electron transfer in proteins rapidly decreases with distance,
which is indicative of an electron tunneling process. Calculations predict that the distance …

Topological and energetic factors: what determines the structural details of the transition state ensemble and “en-route” intermediates for protein folding? An …

C Clementi, H Nymeyer, JN Onuchic - Journal of molecular biology, 2000 - Elsevier
Recent experimental results suggest that the native fold, or topology, plays a primary role in
determining the structure of the transition state ensemble, at least for small, fast-folding …

Protein folding funnels: a kinetic approach to the sequence-structure relationship.

…, M Montal, JN Onuchic - Proceedings of the …, 1992 - National Acad Sciences
A lattice model of protein folding is developed to distinguish between amino acid sequences
that do and do not fold into unique conformations. Although Monte Carlo simulations …

Water mediation in protein folding and molecular recognition

Y Levy, JN Onuchic - Annu. Rev. Biophys. Biomol. Struct., 2006 - annualreviews.org
… Using the replica exchange method, Garcia & Onuchic (57) mapped the free-energy
landscape for folding of fragment B of protein A of Staphylococcus aureus in explicit water, …

Effect of friction on electron transfer in biomolecules

A Garg, JN Onuchic, V Ambegaokar - The Journal of chemical physics, 1985 - pubs.aip.org
In biological and chemical electron transfer, a nuclear reaction coordinate is coupled to
other nuclear and/or ‘‘solvent’’ coordinates. This coupling, or friction, if strong enough, may …
