Non-Contiguous Protein Recombination [PDF]
, 2013 Swapping sequence elements among related proteins can produce chimeric proteins with novel behaviors and improved properties such as enhanced stability. Although homologous mutations are much more conservative than random mutations, chimeras of distantly-

Entropy in protein folding and in protein—protein interactions
Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 1997 The reduction of conformational entropy is a major barrier that has to be overcome in protein folding and binding. Changes in solvent entropy are also a major factor. Recent advances include clarification of the fundamental issues concerning the separation of entropy into components, the treatment of association entropy in binding, and the role of size

Aromatic clusters in protein–protein and protein–drug complexes [PDF]
Journal of Cheminformatics, 2020 AbstractAromatic rings are important residues for biological interactions and appear to a large extent as part of protein–drug and protein–protein interactions. They are relevant for both protein stability and molecular recognition processes due to their natural occurrence in aromatic aminoacids (Trp, Phe, Tyr and His) as well as in designed drugs ...

Calcium as a crucial cofactor for low density lipoprotein receptor folding in the endoplasmic reticulum [PDF]
, 2010 The family of low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors mediate uptake of a plethora of ligands from the circulation and couple this to signaling, thereby performing a crucial role in physiological processes including embryonic development, cancer ...

CHAPTER 1.1. Disulfide Bonds in Protein Folding and Stability
, 2018 Disulfide bonds are unique among post-translational modifications, as they add covalent crosslinks to the polypeptide chain. Accordingly, they can exert pronounced effects on protein folding and stability. This is of particular importance for secreted or

Exploring Protein Sequence Space Using Computationally Directed Recombination [PDF]
, 2006 Evolution has provided us with many protein sequences. However, these sequences represent a very small fraction of the possible sequences. In the laboratory, scientists have explored areas of sequence space not represented by natural proteins both to ...

Protein—protein binding supersites
PLOS Computational Biology, 2019 The lack of a deep understanding of how proteins interact remains an important roadblock in advancing efforts to identify binding partners and uncover the corresponding regulatory mechanisms of the functions they mediate. Understanding protein-protein interactions is also essential for designing specific chemical modifications to develop new reagents ...
