If at all possible, prediction needs to be accurate and fast. In this project, it is proposed and tested the effects of cotranslation within an ideal ribosomal channel model in protein structure prediction using classical molecular dynamics and replica-exchange molecular dynamics simulations. An ideal ribosomal channel model was built, different translation speeds were used and compared the results to control simulations. Different translation speeds were tested to verify their influence on predictions, and the best results were observed at translation speeds between 80 and 200 ps. The quality of the predicted models were as low as 0.3 ? and 1.0 for the RMSDs and GDT-TS parameters, respectively, for simulations of just 50 ns. Overall, the use of this approach to protein structure prediction has successfully produced native and near-native structures in three of the four proteins investigated, thus reaching accuracy and speed as expected. As a conclusion, using cotranslation within an IRCM is a promising approach to predict native-like 3D structures of mini-proteins successfully. Improvements to the methodology should allow the prediction of 3D structures of larger proteins of biological and biomedical interest. / A predi??o de estrutura 3D de prote?nas partindo apenas da sequ?ncia de amino?cidos ainda ? um grande desafio em bioinform?tica estrutural. Apesar da dificuldade, a predi??o precisa de ser acurada e r?pida. Nesta disserta??o, prop?e-se e mesuram-se os efeitos da co-tradu??o e o uso de um modelo ideal de canal ribossomal na predi??o da estrutura 3D de prote?nas, fazendo uso de din?mica molecular cl?ssica e din?mica molecular com intercambio de r?plicas. O modelo do canal ribosomal constru?do foi testado com diferentes velocidades de tradu??o, e os resultados foram comparados com simula??es padr?o. Foram testadas diferentes velocidades de tradu??o para verificar sua influ?ncia nas predi??es, e as velocidades que apresentaram os melhores resultados ficaram na faixa de 80 at? 200 ps. A qualidade dos modelos preditos foram boas, apresentando valores de GDT-TS de 1,0, assim como 0,3 ? para RMSD para simula??es de apenas 50 ns. No geral, demostra-se que o uso desta abordagem na predi??o da estrutura de prote?nas, produz satisfatoriamente estruturas nativas ou perto da nativa em tr?s de quatro prote?nas testadas, atingindo assim a acur?cia e velocidade esperadas. Como conclus?o, o uso da co-tradu??o com um modelo do canal ribosomal ? uma abordagem promissora para a predi??o de estruturas de mini prote?nas perto da estrutura nativa. Melhoras na metodologia e no modelo permitir?o uma predi??o de estruturas 3D de prote?nas maiores de interesse biol?gico e biom?dico.
