Protein conformational dynamics dictate the binding affinity for a ligand.
Interactions between a protein and a ligand are essential to all biological processes. Binding and dissociation are the two fundamental steps of ligand-protein interactions, and determine the binding affinity. Intrinsic conformational dynamics of proteins have been suggested to play crucial roles in ligand binding and dissociation. Here, we demonstrate how protein dynamics dictate the binding a...
متن کاملFlexibility 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 کاملCalcium Binding to the Low Affinity Sites in Troponin C Induces Conformational Changes in the High Affinity Domain
Residues 89-100 of troponin C (C8s-loo) and 96-116 of troponin 1 (196-116) interact with each other in the troponin complex (Dalgarno, D. C., Grand, R. J. A., Levine, B. A. Moir, A,, J. G., Scott, G. M. M., and Perry, S . V. (1982) FEBS Lett. 150, 54-58) and are necessary for the Caa+ sensitivity of actomyosin ATPase (Syska, H., Wilkinson, J. M., Grand, R. J. A., and Perry, S. V. (1976) Bioclre...
متن کاملMicroRNA Targeting to Modulate Tumor Microenvironment
Communication between stromal cells and tumor cells initiates tumor growth, angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis. Stromal cells include cancer-associated fibroblasts, tumor-associated macrophages, pericytes, endothelial cells, and infiltrating immune cells. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) in the tumor microenvironment have emerged as key players involved in the development of cancer and its progression. m...
متن کاملIncreased binding affinity and valence of recombinant antibody fragments lead to improved targeting of tumoral angiogenesis.
The formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) is an important step in tumor progression. Molecules capable of selectively targeting markers of angiogenesis may offer opportunities for the in vivo imaging of aggressive tumors and for the delivery of toxic agents to the tumoral vasculature. Using antibody phage display libraries and combinatorial mutagenesis, we isolated single-chain Fv antib...
