Conformational entropy in molecular recognition by proteins

TL;DR: It is found that the change in internal dynamics of the protein calmodulin varies significantly on binding a variety of target domains, indicating that changes in protein conformational entropy can contribute significantly to the free energy of protein–ligand association.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of conformational entropy in molecular recognition by calmodulin

TL;DR: An “entropy meter” is calibrated employing an experimental dynamical proxy based on NMR relaxation and it is shown that changes in the conformational entropy of calmodulin are a significant component of the energetics of binding and the distribution of motion at the interface between the target domain and cal modulin are surprisingly non-complementary.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein structure by solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

TL;DR: Solid-state NMR methods are useful for proteins that undergo limited overall reorientation by virtue of their being in the crystalline solid state or integral parts of supramolecular structures that do not reorient rapidly in solution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Entropy in molecular recognition by proteins.

TL;DR: A comprehensive and unified view of the general role of entropy in high-affinity molecular recognition by proteins is provided using a dynamical proxy provided by NMR relaxation methods that finds that conformational entropy can contribute significantly and variably to the thermodynamics of binding.
