The Role of Shape Complementarity in the Protein-Protein Interactions
We use a dissipative particle dynamic simulation to investigate the effects of shape complementarity on the protein-protein interactions. By monitoring different kinds of protein shape-complementarity modes, we gave a clear mechanism to reveal the role of the shape complementarity in the protein-protein interactions, i.e., when the two proteins with shape complementarity approach each other, th...
متن کاملElectrostatic complementarity at protein/protein interfaces.
Calculation of the electrostatic potential of protein-protein complexes has led to the general assertion that protein-protein interfaces display "charge complementarity" and "electrostatic complementarity". In this study, quantitative measures for these two terms are developed and used to investigate protein-protein interfaces in a rigorous manner. Charge complementarity (CC) was defined using ...
متن کاملA Novel System for Assessment of Macromolecular Interaction in Condensed Phases. 2) Interaction Site Inference by Molecular Shape and Electrostatic Complementarity
The authors are involved in the development of the system for automatic assessment of macromolecular interaction MIAX described elsewhere [1]. In the present study we undertake the problem of reduction of the huge configuration search space for the complex in order to improve processing times of MIAX. Here we describe an algorithm to infer interaction sites for the monomers composing the comple...
متن کاملDissecting protein–RNA recognition sites
We analyze the protein-RNA interfaces in 81 transient binary complexes taken from the Protein Data Bank. Those with tRNA or duplex RNA are larger than with single-stranded RNA, and comparable in size to protein-DNA interfaces. The protein side bears a strong positive electrostatic potential and resembles protein-DNA interfaces in its amino acid composition. On the RNA side, the phosphate contri...
متن کاملWhen Do Opposites Attract? Interpersonal Complementarity Versus Similarity
Two experiments examined whether interpersonal complementarity or similarity influences people's satisfaction with dyadic interactions. Participants in complementary partnerships (submissive people with dominant partners, dominant people with submissive partners) reported more satisfaction than did those with similar partners. In Study 1 complementarity referred to the match between, the partic...
