This study explores the implementation of a lone-pair-based hydrogen-bonding energy function within the Mini-Rosetta framework. By developing a more accurate energy model that incorporates spatial constraints and couples parameters like distance and angles, we aim to improve the computational efficiency and visualization of hydrogen bonds. The approach is validated through Monte Carlo/gradient optimizations across a dataset of 28 protein structures, demonstrating how the new potential increases agreement with native structures from the PDB. Future work will refine the potential to include all hydrogen bond types and re-weight the hydrogen bond term relative to other potential energy contributions.

(for computational efficiency, ease of visualization, etc.) • Remove the independence assumption (couple parameters) - distance and two angles. • Energy = F(AH, DHL, ALH ) • where A : acceptor atom, H : proton, D: donor, L : lone-pair (docking site) (Fig. 2) • • Fit polynomial to 3-dimensional energy surface • derived from database of 5200 protein structures. (Fig. 3) (starting with sp2 acceptor, side-chain hydrogen bonds) • Rosetta is an ab-initio protein modeling program • which includes a hydrogen-bond energy term. (Ref 1) • Energy is a function of molecular geometry. • Sum of independent terms (distance and two angles): Energy = F1(AH) + F2(BAH) + F3(AHD) where A : acceptor atom, B : base atom, H : proton, D : donor atom (Fig, 1) • BAHD dihedral (in-plane constraint) not implemented. • Hydrogen-bonds are divided into groups : helix, side-chain sp2, side-chain sp3, etc. and these groups are considered separately.

Methods •Implement Lone-pair for sp2 acceptor side-chain hydrogen bonds. • Run Monte Carlo/gradient optimizations (“classic relax”) with lone-pair and standard potentials. • 28 protein set (60 - 300 residues each) • 10 relax runs for each protein. • Examine BAHD dihedrals in relaxed structures - compare with native structures from the PDB.
