Coarse-grained protein models and their applications

S Kmiecik, D Gront, M Kolinski, L Wieteska… - Chemical …, 2016 - ACS Publications
The traditional computational modeling of protein structure, dynamics, and interactions
remains difficult for many protein systems. It is mostly due to the size of protein …

[HTML][HTML] Perspective: Coarse-grained models for biomolecular systems

WG Noid - The Journal of chemical physics, 2013 - pubs.aip.org
By focusing on essential features, while averaging over less important details, coarse-
grained (CG) models provide significant computational and conceptual advantages with …

Native contacts determine protein folding mechanisms in atomistic simulations

RB Best, G Hummer, WA Eaton - Proceedings of the …, 2013 - National Acad Sciences
The recent availability of long equilibrium simulations of protein folding in atomistic detail for
more than 10 proteins allows us to identify the key interactions driving folding. We find that …

[HTML][HTML] Visualizing single-molecule conformational transition and binding dynamics of intrinsically disordered proteins

W Liu, L Chen, D Yin, Z Yang, J Feng, Q Sun… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) play crucial roles in cellular processes and hold
promise as drug targets. However, the dynamic nature of IDPs remains poorly understood …

[HTML][HTML] Role of intrinsic protein disorder in the function and interactions of the transcriptional coactivators CREB-binding protein (CBP) and p300

HJ Dyson, PE Wright - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2016 - ASBMB
The transcriptional coactivators CREB-binding protein (CBP) and p300 undergo a
particularly rich set of interactions with disordered and partly ordered partners, as a part of …

Energy landscapes of protein aggregation and conformation switching in intrinsically disordered proteins

B Strodel - Journal of molecular biology, 2021 - Elsevier
The protein folding problem was apparently solved recently by the advent of a deep learning
method for protein structure prediction called AlphaFold. However, this program is not able …

Linking folding and binding

PE Wright, HJ Dyson - Current opinion in structural biology, 2009 - Elsevier
Many cellular proteins are intrinsically disordered and undergo folding, in whole or in part,
upon binding to their physiological targets. The past few years have seen an exponential …

Fundamental aspects of protein− protein association kinetics

G Schreiber, G Haran, HX Zhou - Chemical reviews, 2009 - ACS Publications
The structure of a protein complex together with information about its affinity and other
thermodynamic characteristics provide a “frozen” view of the complex. This picture ignores …

Charge interactions can dominate the dimensions of intrinsically disordered proteins

S Müller-Späth, A Soranno… - Proceedings of the …, 2010 - National Acad Sciences
Many eukaryotic proteins are disordered under physiological conditions, and fold into
ordered structures only on binding to their cellular targets. Such intrinsically disordered …

Conformational selection or induced fit: a flux description of reaction mechanism

GG Hammes, YC Chang… - Proceedings of the …, 2009 - National Acad Sciences
The mechanism of ligand binding coupled to conformational changes in macromolecules
has recently attracted considerable interest. The 2 limiting cases are the “induced fit” …
