Structure fluctuations and conformational Changes in protein binding

Structure fluctuations and conformational changes accompany all biological processes involving macromolecules. The paper presents a classification of protein residues based on the normalized equilibrium fluctuations of the residue centers of mass in proteins and a statistical analysis of conformation changes in the side-chains upon binding. Normal mode analysis and an elastic network model were...

Sugar binding and protein conformational changes in lactose permease.

Lactose permease is an integral membrane protein that uses the cell membrane's proton gradient for import of lactose. Based on extensive biochemical data and a substrate-bound crystal structure, intermediates involved in lactose/H(+) co-transport have been suggested. Yet, the transport mechanism, especially the coupling of protonation states of essential residues and protein conformational chan...

Protein Substrate Binding Induces Conformational Changes in the Chaperonin GroEL

Chaperonins are molecules that assist proteins during folding and protect them from irreversible aggregation. We studied the chaperonin GroEL and its interaction with the enzyme human carbonic anhydrase II (HCA II), which induces unfolding of the enzyme. We focused on conformational changes that occur in GroEL during formation of the GroEL-HCA II complex. We measured the rate of GroEL cysteine ...

Relationships between ligand binding sites, protein architecture and correlated paths of energy and conformational fluctuations.

The statistical thermodynamics basis of energy and residue position fluctuations is explained for native proteins. The protein and its surroundings are treated as a canonical system with emphasis on the effects of energy exchange between the two. Fluctuations of the energy are related to fluctuations of residue positions, which in turn are related to the connectivity matrix of the protein, thus...

Conformational selection in protein binding and function.

Protein binding and function often involves conformational changes. Advanced nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments indicate that these conformational changes can occur in the absence of ligand molecules (or with bound ligands), and that the ligands may "select" protein conformations for binding (or unbinding). In this review, we argue that this conformational selection requires transitio...
