Insights into Conformational Dynamics and Allostery in DNMT1-H3Ub/USP7 Interactions
DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) including DNMT1 are a conserved family of cytosine methylases that play crucial roles in epigenetic regulation. The versatile functions of DNMT1 rely on allosteric networks between its different interacting partners ...

Modeling effects of L-type ca(2+) current and na(+)-ca(2+) exchanger on ca(2+) trigger flux in rabbit myocytes with realistic T-tubule geometries. [PDF]
The transverse tubular system of rabbit ventricular myocytes consists of cell membrane invaginations (t-tubules) that are essential for efficient cardiac excitation-contraction coupling. In this study, we investigate how t-tubule micro-anatomy, L-type Ca(

FimH as a scaffold for regulated molecular recognition
Background Recognition proteins are critical in many biotechnology applications and would be even more useful if their binding could be regulated. The current gold standard for recognition molecules, antibodies, lacks convenient regulation.

Thermodynamic and Kinetic Analysis of Sensitivity Amplification in Biological Signal Transduction [PDF]
Based on a thermodynamic analysis of the kinetic model for the protein phosphorylation-dephosphorylation cycle, we study the ATP (or GTP) energy utilization of this ubiquitous biological signal transduction process.

Protein dynamics underlying allosteric regulation
Allostery is the mechanism by which information and control are propagated in biomolecules. It regulates ligand binding, chemical reactions, and conformational changes. An increasing level of experimental resolution and control over allosteric mechanisms promises a deeper understanding of the molecular basis for life and powerful new therapeutics.

Allosteric regulation of epigenetic modifying enzymes [PDF]
Epigenetic enzymes including histone modifying enzymes are key regulators of gene expression in normal and disease processes. Many drug development strategies to target histone modifying enzymes have focused on ligands that bind to enzyme active sites, but allosteric pockets offer potentially attractive opportunities for therapeutic development.
