Flexibility and conformational entropy in protein-protein binding.
To better understand the interplay between protein-protein binding and protein dynamics, we analyzed molecular dynamics simulations of 17 protein-protein complexes and their unbound components. Complex formation does not restrict the conformational freedom of the partner proteins as a whole, but, rather, it leads to a redistribution of dynamics. We calculate the change in conformational entropy...
متن کاملProtein Flexibility and Conformational Entropy in Ligand Design Targeting the Carbohydrate Recognition Domain of Galectin-3
Rational drug design is predicated on knowledge of the three-dimensional structure of the protein-ligand complex and the thermodynamics of ligand binding. Despite the fundamental importance of both enthalpy and entropy in driving ligand binding, the role of conformational entropy is rarely addressed in drug design. In this work, we have probed the conformational entropy and its relative contrib...
متن کاملAccounting for conformational entropy in predicting binding free energies of protein-protein interactions.
Protein-protein interactions are governed by the change in free energy upon binding, ΔG = ΔH - TΔS. These interactions are often marginally stable, so one must examine the balance between the change in enthalpy, ΔH, and the change in entropy, ΔS, when investigating known complexes, characterizing the effects of mutations, or designing optimized variants. To perform a large-scale study into the ...
متن کاملProtein Conformational Flexibility Analysis with Noisy Data
Protein conformational changes play a critical role in biological functions such as ligand-protein and protein-protein interactions. Due to the noise in structural data, determining salient conformational changes reliably and efficiently is a challenging problem. This paper presents an efficient algorithm for analyzing protein conformational changes, when the data is noisy. It applies a statist...
متن کاملConformational selection in protein binding and function.
Protein binding and function often involves conformational changes. Advanced nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments indicate that these conformational changes can occur in the absence of ligand molecules (or with bound ligands), and that the ligands may "select" protein conformations for binding (or unbinding). In this review, we argue that this conformational selection requires transitio...
