2 INTRODUCTION: SCALES Challenge: modeling cells Complexity, Complexity, scales scales ~20 µ m

3 INTRODUCTION: SCALES A Sense of Scales

4 INTRODUCTION: SCALES Towards multi-scale modeling Mesoscale: Macroscale: effective interactions times ~1 s and collective phenomena long-range effects scales ~ 1µ large scales Different methods for different scales Main question is how to bridge them in a controlled and reliable fashion Coarse-graining Atomistic picture: microscopic accuracy interatomic forces intermolecular

6 NTRODUCTION: LIPOPROTEINS Lipoproteins Carriers of cholestero Structure of lipoproteins not known: Functions not understood Cholesteryl esters in the interior of LDL. M. Heikelä, I. Vattulainen, M.T.Hyvönen, Biophys. J. 90 (2006) 2247; A. Koivuniemi et al. Biophys. J. LDL and HDL particles carrying cholesterol. Vuorela et al., under preparation (2009). Catte et al., Biophys. J. 94, 2306 (2008)

7 RESULTS: BAD CHOLESTEROL Lipoproteins, carriers of Chol Low density lipoprotein (LDL) bad cholesterol LDL is a pain for simulations. 1. LDL size ~25 nm, plus solvent 1. Time scales should be > 10 microseconds 1. Atomistic simulations would take roughly at least 3000 CPU-years. No chance. 1. Coarse-grained simulations feasible take only about 5 CPUyears per simulation. LDL structure determined through coarse-grained simulations. Murtola et al., manuscript under preraration (2009).

8 RESULTS: GOOD CHOLESTEROL HDL Good cholesterol High density lipoprotein (HDL) good cholesterol All-atom model 10 ns at 310K CoarseGrained model 1 µs at 310K Simulation results allow us to understand the functions of HDL, and later find treatments for diseases such as atherosclerosis Atomistic and coarse-grained modeling of model spheroidal HDL particles. A. Catte et al., Biophys. J. 94, 2306 (2008). Novel Changes in Discoidal High Density Lipoprotein Morphology: A Molecular Dynamics St udy. A. Catte et al., Biophys. J. 90, 4345 (2006). Models with: 2 ApoA-I proteins POPCs Cholesterol esters These are semi-ok

9 ESULTS: CHOLESTEROL IN LIPOPROTEINS HDL Good cholesterol Annular cholesterol esters (green) in contact with apoa-i: Almost 100% Packing of cholesterol esters (green) within POPCs Chol esters stabilizing apoa-i and thus HDL A. Catte et al., Biophys. J. 94, 2306 (2008). Almost 100% of chol esters are annular. Atomistic and CG models consistent regarding contacts, the minor differences due to the CG

10 ESULTS: CHOLESTEROL IN LIPOPROTEINS HDL Good cholesterol Full line: with ApoA-I Dashed: no ApoA-I T. Vuorela et al., Paper under preparation (2009) Full HDL with a realistic lipid composition Coarse-grained simulations over ~10 µ s each SUMMARIZING THE RESULTS: Triglycerides and Chol esters in the core, partly in the interface PCs, Chols at the surface ApoA-I s favor contacts with Chol and its esters, supporting the stabilization mechanism of Chol Three-layer model

11 ESULTS: CHOLESTEROL IN LIPOPROTEINS ystems biology bridged to simulations High density lipoprotein (HDL) good cholesterol Mass spectrometry: Lipid profiling for HDL composition from subjects with low and high HDL. Simulations: HDL structure for the different molecular compositions obtained from mass spec. Triglycerol distribution distinctly different in the HDL particles in subjects with two subject types. Lipid composition, structure and function of low and high HDL. Yetukuri, Soderlund, Koivuniemi, Seppanen-Laakso, Niemela, Hyvonen,
