This work is a theoretical analysis in four stages of association between the blue copper protein plastocyanin and the heme protein cytochrome f, which are physiological partners in the photosynthetic electron-transfer chain. In the first stage, 32 000 trajectories of approach by plastocyanin to cytochrome f were generated with implicit consideration of hydration and with gradual cooling of the system from 300 to 0 K. Approximately 2000 trajectories resulted in local minima of energy, i.e., in docking. The molecular configurations having relatively low energies were grouped, by structural similarity, into six families. In the second stage, six configurations having the lowest energies, one from each family, were subjected to thorough molecular dynamics simulation, for 260 ps. Extensive hydration of the proteins was treated explicitly. The whole plastocyanin molecule and the relevant parts of the cytochrome f molecule were given conformational freedom. In the third stage, the following three contributions ...
