The role of dynamic conformational ensembles in biomolecular recognition.
Molecular recognition is central to all biological processes. For the past 50 years, Koshland's 'induced fit' hypothesis has been the textbook explanation for molecular recognition events. However, recent experimental evidence supports an alternative mechanism. 'Conformational selection' postulates that all protein conformations pre-exist, and the ligand selects the most favored conformation. F...

متن کاملQuantitative Comparison of Conformational Ensembles
A number of measures have been used in the structural biology literature to compare the shapes or conformations of biological macromolecules. However, the issue of how to compare two ensembles of conformations has received far less attention. Herein, the problem of how to quantitatively compare two such ensembles is addressed in several different ways using concepts from probability and informa...
متن کاملNMR characterization of partially folded and unfolded conformational ensembles of proteins.
Studies of unfolded and partially folded proteins provide important insight into the initiation and process of protein folding. This review focuses on the use of nmr in characterization of ensembles of proteins that model the early stages of folding. Analysis of an ensemble includes description of the number of conformations, their structure, relative populations, interconversion rates, and dyn...
متن کاملIntegrative NMR for biomolecular research
NMR spectroscopy is a powerful technique for determining structural and functional features of biomolecules in physiological solution as well as for observing their intermolecular interactions in real-time. However, complex steps associated with its practice have made the approach daunting for non-specialists. We introduce an NMR platform that makes biomolecular NMR spectroscopy much more acces...
