The affinity of human RANK binding to its ligand RANKL.
Receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B (RANK) and its ligand, RANKL play critical roles in bone re-modeling, immune function, vascular disease and mammary gland development. To study the interaction of RANK and RANKL, we have expressed both extracellular domain of RANK and ectodomain of RANKL using Escherichia coli expression system. RANK was expressed as an inclusion body first which pro...
متن کاملRegulation of protein-ligand binding affinity by hydrogen bond pairing
Hydrogen (H)-bonds potentiate diverse cellular functions by facilitating molecular interactions. The mechanism and the extent to which H-bonds regulate molecular interactions are a largely unresolved problem in biology because the H-bonding process continuously competes with bulk water. This interference may significantly alter our understanding of molecular function, for example, in the elucid...
متن کاملPred-binding: large-scale protein-ligand binding affinity prediction.
Drug target interactions (DTIs) are crucial in pharmacology and drug discovery. Presently, experimental determination of compound-protein interactions remains challenging because of funding investment and difficulties of purifying proteins. In this study, we proposed two in silico models based on support vector machine (SVM) and random forest (RF), using 1589 molecular descriptors and 1080 prot...
متن کاملProtein conformational dynamics dictate the binding affinity for a ligand.
Interactions between a protein and a ligand are essential to all biological processes. Binding and dissociation are the two fundamental steps of ligand-protein interactions, and determine the binding affinity. Intrinsic conformational dynamics of proteins have been suggested to play crucial roles in ligand binding and dissociation. Here, we demonstrate how protein dynamics dictate the binding a...
متن کاملProtein-protein interactions: general trends in the relationship between binding affinity and interfacial buried surface area.
Protein-protein interactions play key roles in many cellular processes and their affinities and specificities are finely tuned to the functions they perform. Here, we present a study on the relationship between binding affinity and the size and chemical nature of protein-protein interfaces. Our analysis focuses on heterodimers and includes curated structural and thermodynamic data for 113 compl...
