Study on the allosteric activation mechanism of SHP2 via elastic network models and neural relational inference molecular dynamics simulation

L Liu, Y Cheng, Z Zhang, J Li, Y Geng, Q Li… - Physical Chemistry …, 2023 - pubs.rsc.org
As a ubiquitous protein tyrosine phosphatase, SHP2 is involved in PD-1/PD-L1 mediated
tumor immune escape and undergoes substantial conformational changes. Therefore, it is …

Universality of vibrational spectra of globular proteins

H Na, G Song, D Ben-Avraham - Biophysical Journal, 2016 - cell.com
The density of frequencies of the vibrational spectrum of proteins is the focus of much
interest, as it is quite readily available experimentally, and a prerequisite for the theoretical …

Modeling ultrasonic metafluids: The significance of discrete oscillators

A Draškovič-Bračun, T Potisk, D Svenšek - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
Significant changes in the acoustic response of a fluid can be induced by the suspension of
tiny, subwavelength-size discrete micro-oscillators in the fluid. We investigate how the …

Conventional NMA as a better standard for evaluating elastic network models

H Na, G Song - Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Normal mode analysis (NMA) is an important tool for studying protein dynamics. Because of
the complexity of conventional NMA that uses an all‐atom model and a semi‐empirical force …

Predicting the functional motions of p97 using symmetric normal modes

H Na, G Song - Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
ABSTRACT p97 is a protein complex of the AAA+ family. Although functions of p97 are well
understood, the mechanism by which p97 performs its unfolding activities remains unclear …

The effective degeneracy of protein normal modes

H Na, G Song - Physical Biology, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
Normal modes are frequently computed and used to portray protein dynamics and interpret
protein conformational changes. In this work, we investigate the nature of normal modes and …

All-atom normal mode dynamics of HIV-1 capsid

H Na, G Song - PLoS computational biology, 2018 - journals.plos.org
Dynamics of biomolecular assemblies offer invaluable insights into their functional
mechanisms. For extremely large biomolecular systems, such as HIV-1 capsid that has …

Structure-based insights into the mechanism of nucleotide import by HIV-1 capsid

G Song - Journal of Structural Biology, 2019 - Elsevier
Nucleotide import is critical to the reverse transcription and thus a key step in the life cycle of
HIV-1 virus. In this work, boosted by the recently determined atomic structure of the whole …

Towards a free energy-based elastic network model and its application to the SARS-COV2 binding to ACE2

H Na, G Song - Physical Biology, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Classical normal mode analysis (cNMA) is a standard method for studying the equilibrium
vibrations of macromolecules. A major limitation of cNMA is that it requires a cumbersome …

Symmetry in normal modes and its strong dependence on symmetry in structure

G Song - Journal of Molecular Graphics and Modelling, 2017 - Elsevier
In this work, we look at the symmetry of normal modes in symmetric structures, particularly
structures with cyclic symmetry. We show that normal modes of symmetric structures have …
