Mechanism for the Unfolding of the TOP7 Protein in Steered Molecular Dynamics Simulations as Revealed by Mutual Information Analysis

We employed mutual information (MI) analysis to detect motions affecting the mechanical resistance of the human-engineered protein Top7. The results are based on the MI analysis of pair contact correlations measured in steered molecular dynamics (SMD) trajectories and their statistical dependence on...
