Conformational kinetics reveals affinities of protein conformational states [PDF]
Significance Despite 50 years of studies of coupled binding and conformational change reactions in proteins and nucleic acids, there has been no detailed analysis of the affinities of the multiple conformational states involved. The relationship between these affinities and the dynamics of conformational change has also been largely ...

Molecular dynamics as an approach to study prion protein misfolding and the effect of pathogenic mutations [PDF]
Computer simulation of protein dynamics offers unique high-resolution information that complements experiment. Using experimentally derived structures of the natively folded prion protein (PrP), physically realistic dynamics and conformational changes ...

Sequence-Dependent Correlated Segments in the Intrinsically Disordered Region of ChiZ
How sequences of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) code for their conformational dynamics is poorly understood. Here, we combined NMR spectroscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to characterize the ...

Studying protein-protein interactions using peptide arrays [PDF]
Screening of arrays and libraries of compounds is well-established as a high-throughput method for detecting and analyzing interactions in both biological and chemical systems. Arrays and libraries can be composed from various types of molecules, ranging

MAD1: Kinetochore Receptors and Catalytic Mechanisms
The mitotic checkpoint monitors kinetochore-microtubule attachment, delays anaphase onset and prevents aneuploidy when unattached or tensionless kinetochores are present in cells.

Structural analysis of the starfish SALMFamide neuropeptides S1 and S2: The N-terminal region of S2 facilitates self-association [PDF]
The neuropeptides S1 (GFNSALMFamide) and S2 (SGPYSFNSGLTFamide), which share sequence similarity, were discovered in the starfish Asterias rubens and are prototypical members of the SALMFamide family of neuropeptides in echinoderms.
