TL;DR: Protein structure analysis and virtual screening are used to identify drug-like molecules that bind to a site on the GDP-bound form of Ral and RBC8 and BQU57 show selectivity for Ral relative to the GTPases Ras and RhoA and inhibit tumour xenograft growth to a similar extent to the depletion of RAl using RNA interference.

TL;DR: A variant of SVR-KB (SVR-KBD) was developed by following a target-specific tailoring strategy that was previously employed to derive SVM-SP, and showed a much higher enrichment, outperforming all other scoring functions tested, and was comparable in performance to the authors' previously derived scoring function S VM-SP.

TL;DR: A new mechanism by which CAP triggers the transcription activation that is based on an order to disorder transition mediated by cAMP binding as well as DNA is proposed.

TL;DR: This systematic bioinformatics investigation of intrinsically disordered regions obtained from integral membrane proteins for which crystal structures have been determined, and for which the intrinsic disorder was identified as missing electron density, suggests that developing new predictors that make use of data from dis ordered regions in helical bundles and beta barrels will likely lead to significantly more accurate disorder predictions for these two classes of integral membranes proteins.

TL;DR: The most comprehensive hand‐curated calorimetry dataset to date, which contains thermodynamic and structural data for more than 400 receptor–ligand complexes, confirms the existence of enthalpy‐entropy compensation effect for the first time using strictly ITC data.
