dc.description.abstractProteases are major drug targets for many viral diseases. However, mutations can render several antiprotease drugs inefficient rapidly even though these mutations may not alter protein structures significantly. Understanding relations between quickly mutating residues, protease structures, and the dynamics of the proteases is crucial for designing potent drugs. Due to this reason, we studied relations between the evolutionary information on residues in the amino acid sequences and protein dynamics for SARS-CoV-2 main protease. More precisely, we analyzed three dynamical quantities (Schlitter entropy, root-mean-square fluctuations, and dynamical flexibility index) and their relation to the amino acid conservation extracted from multiple sequence alignments of the main protease. We showed that a quantifiable similarity can be built between a sequence-based quantity called Jensen-Shannon conservation and those three dynamical quantities. We validated this similarity for a diverse set of 32 different proteins, other than the SARS-CoV-2 main protease. We believe that establishing these kinds of quantitative bridges will have larger implications for all viral proteases as well as all proteins.

dc.description.sponsorshipM.T. was granted access to the Jean-Zay HPC resources of IDRIS under the allocation 2020-AP010711656 made by GENCI. A.Y. performed some of the MD simulations reported in this paper at TUBITAK (Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey) ULAKBIM (National Academic Information Center), High Performance and Grid Computing Center (TRUBA Resources). M.T. and A.Y. thank Jean-Zay and TRUBA HPC Resources for their superb computational resources and support. The computation on the dataset of 32 proteins was produced within the ANR project SolvingMEFVariants (ANR-21-CE17-0046) led by Alessandra Carbone, where multiple correlations with evolutionary conservation, physico-chemical and geometrical measures have been studied.
