Conformations of a highly expressed Z19 α-zein studied with AlphaFold2 and MD simulations
Niels Johan Christensen
Abstract:Alpha-zeins are amphiphilic maize proteins with interesting material properties suitable for numerous applications, e.g., in renewable plastics, foods, therapeutics and additive manufacturing (3D-printing). To exploit their full potential, molecular-level insights are essential. Since alpha-zeins have resisted experimental atomic-resolution characterization, molecular models have been central to elucidating their structure, but deep-learning alpha-zein models are largely unexplored. Therefore, this work studie… Show more
