Discovering structural motifs using a structural alphabet: Application to magnesium-binding sites [PDF]
, 2007 BACKGROUND: For many metalloproteins, sequence motifs characteristic of metal-binding sites have not been found or are so short that they would not be expected to be metal-specific.

Link between allosteric signal transduction and functional dynamics in a multi-subunit enzyme: S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase [PDF]
J. Am. Chem. Soc. (2011) vol. 133, 19807-19815, 2011 S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (SAHH), a cellular enzyme that plays a key role in methylation reactions including those required for maturation of viral mRNA, is an important drug target in the discovery of antiviral agents. While targeting the active site is a straightforward strategy of enzyme inhibition, evidences of allosteric modulation of ...
