Journal ArticleDOI

A high-affinity, dimeric inhibitor of PSD-95 bivalently interacts with PDZ1-2 and protects against ischemic brain damage

TL;DR: A novel dimeric inhibitor, Tat-NPEG4(IETDV)2 (Tat-N-dimer), which binds the tandem PDZ1-2 domain of PSD-95 with an unprecedented high affinity, and displays extensive protease-resistance as evaluated in vitro by stability-measurements in human blood plasma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Solution structure of discoidal high-density lipoprotein particles with a shortened apolipoprotein A-I

TL;DR: The three-dimensional structure of reconstituted discoidal HDL (rdHDL) particles is presented, using a shortened construct of human apolipoprotein A-I, determined from a combination of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reassessing a sparse energetic network within a single protein domain

TL;DR: This study reassessed the energetic coupling of these residues by double mutant cycles together with ligand binding and stability experiments and found that coupling is not a special property of the coevolved network of residues in PDZ domains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ligand binding by PDZ domains

TL;DR: This review focuses on the molecular details of how PDZ domains bind their protein ligands and their potential as drug targets in this context.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of successive transition states for folding reveals alternative early folding pathways of two homologous proteins

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the folding mechanisms of two homologous three-state proteins, PTP-BL PDZ2 and PSD-95 PDZ3, and compared the early and late transition states on their folding pathways.
