Abstract

The heat capacity has played a major role in proteins Its calculation by atomistic simulation methods remains a significant challenge due to the complex and dynamic nature of protein structures and this work compares the denaturation effect of bovine carbonic anhydrase BCA by heat pH and scan rate dependence of protein denaturation by molecular dynamics MD simulation To better understand this factor on calculating a protein heat capacity and Tm we have provided a comparative analysis of simulation models that differ in their scan rate and pH description Our model protein system is the carbonic anhydrase and a series of 20 ns simulated DSC with different scan rate v 0 10 0 0125 0 015 and 0 02 K ps and pH have been reported by simulated annealing performed at temperatures ranging from 250 to 575 K starting from the carbonic anhydrase native structure It was observed that our systems were quite sensitive to the description and the calculated melting temperature Tm varied in the range 353-438 K and was higher for higher scan rates systems and lower for acidic condition It was also demonstrated that increasing scan rate causes a slight shift to right and acidic pH cause a shift to left in Tm value
