Insights into protein flexibility: The relationship between normal modes and conformational change upon protein-protein docking.
Understanding protein interactions has broad implications for the mechanism of recognition, protein design, and assigning putative functions to uncharacterized proteins. Studying protein flexibility is a key component in the challenge of describing protein interactions. In this work, we characterize the observed conformational change for a set of 20 proteins that undergo large conformational ch...
متن کاملFasting Reduces the Binding between Sugar and Protein; New Insights into Diabetic Complications
Fasting has numerous biological, physical and mental health advantages or that as some physicians cure their patients by prescribing fasting to them. Fasting protects people from many diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes complications. The main health-promoting effects of fasting are increased production of neurotrophic factors, neuroendocrine activation, hormetic stre...
متن کاملThe relationship between the flexibility of proteins and their conformational states on forming protein-protein complexes with an application to protein-protein docking.
We investigate the extent to which the conformational fluctuations of proteins in solution reflect the conformational changes that they undergo when they form binary protein-protein complexes. To do this, we study a set of 41 proteins that form such complexes and whose three-dimensional structures are known, both bound in the complex and unbound. We carry out molecular dynamics simulations of e...
متن کاملProtein flexibility upon ligand binding: Docking predictions and statistical analysis
Acknowledgements I would like to start by thanking Prof. Meir Edelman and Dr. Vladimir Sobolev for their guidance and the high level of scientific independence they trusted in me. A different posture would not have permitted my full development as a free thinker. I would like to thank Professors Ron Unger and Amnon Horovitz for their valuable comments throughout this work as assigned readers of...
متن کاملProtein-protein docking with backbone flexibility.
Computational protein-protein docking methods currently can create models with atomic accuracy for protein complexes provided that the conformational changes upon association are restricted to the side chains. However, it remains very challenging to account for backbone conformational changes during docking, and most current methods inherently keep monomer backbones rigid for algorithmic simpli...
