Conformational dynamics of the human serotonin transporter during substrate and drug binding

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
The serotonin transporter (SERT) is responsible for re-uptake of serotonin into the presynaptic neuron and plays a key role in synaptic transmission. Here, the authors use hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry to probe the conformational dynamics

Combining Coarse-Grained Protein Models with Replica-Exchange All-Atom Molecular Dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We describe a combination of all-atom simulations with CABS, a well-established coarse-grained protein modeling tool, into a single multiscale protocol. The simulation method has been tested on the C-terminal beta hairpin of protein G, a model system of ...

Predicting protein dynamics from structural ensembles

open access: yes, 2015
The biological properties of proteins are uniquely determined by their structure and dynamics. A protein in solution populates a structural ensemble of metastable configurations around the global fold.

Prediction of Functional Sites in SCOP Domains using Dynamics Perturbation Analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Dynamics perturbation analysis (DPA) finds regions in a protein structure where proteins are "ticklish", i.e., where interactions cause a large change in protein dynamics.

Emergence of behaviour in a self-organized living matter network

open access: yeseLife, 2022
What is the origin of behaviour? Although typically associated with a nervous system, simple organisms also show complex behaviours. Among them, the slime mold Physarum polycephalum, a giant single cell, is ideally suited to study emergence of behaviour.

Logarithmic decay in single-particle relaxations of hydrated lysozyme powder

open access: yes, 2009
We present the self-dynamics of protein amino acids of hydrated lysozyme powder around the physiological temperature by means of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.

Molecular dynamics as an approach to study prion protein misfolding and the effect of pathogenic mutations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
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 ...

High-resolution characterization of centriole distal appendage morphology and dynamics by correlative STORM and electron microscopy

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
The formation of cilia depends on centriole’s distal appendages. Here, the authors use correlative 3D-superresolution, electron microscopy and electron tomography to detail the architecture of distal appendages, to describe the initial stages of ...

Uptake mechanism of iron-phytosiderophore from the soil based on the structure of yellow stripe transporter

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Iron is an essential mineral in plant physiology. YS1 transporter imports iron–phytosiderophore complex (Fe(III)–DMA) from the soil. Here, the authors describe the cryo-EM structures of barley YS1 in complex with substrate, and a synthetic substrate ...

Modeling protein conformational ensembles by guiding AlphaFold2 with Double Electron Electron Resonance (DEER) distance distributions

open access: yesNature Communications
We describe a modified version of AlphaFold2 that incorporates experimental distance distributions into the network architecture for protein structure prediction.
