Modelagem de mecânica estatística de processos de transporte através da membrana celular / Statistical mechanical modeling of transport processes across the cell membrane

Barreto, Yan Borges 30 July 2019 (has links)
No presente trabalho, nós desenvolvemos um modelo de mecânica estatística para a dinâmica do cotransporte. Em particular, foram analisados o simporte de lactose e H+ catalisado pela LacY, e o antiporte de triose-P e Pi catalisado pelo TPT. Em ambos os casos, nosso ponto de partida foi determinar a curva de energia livre do ciclo de transporte com base na estrutura bioquímica de cada estado. Então, usando o algoritmo de Metropolis em um modelo do caminho aleatório não-homogêneo, nós determinamos a dinâmica do ciclo expressa na curva de energia livre obtida anteriormente. Tanto no caso da LacY quanto no caso do TPT, a concordância entre as predições do nosso modelo e os dados experimentais sugere que a nossa curva de energia livre é apropriada para descrever os processos de transporte através da membrana plasmática. / In the present work, we developed a statistical mechanical model for the dynamics of cotransport. In particular, the symport of lactose and H+ and the antiport of triose-P and Pi were analyzed. In both cases, our starting point was to determine the free-energy curve of the transport cycle based on the biochemical structure of each state. Then, using the Metropolis algorithm in a nonhomogeneous random walk model, we determined the dynamics of the cycle expressed in the free-energy curve obtained previously. Both in the case of LacY and TPT, the agreement between our model predictions and the experimental data suggests that our free-energy curve is appropriate for describing the transport process across the plasma membrane.
