Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of an HIV gp120 envelope glycoprotein in complex with the CD4 receptor and a neutralizing human antibody

TL;DR: The structure reveals a cavity-laden CD4–gp120 interface, a conserved binding site for the chemokine receptor, evidence for a conformational change upon CD4 binding, the nature of a CD4-induced antibody epitope, and specific mechanisms for immune evasion.
Journal ArticleDOI

The antigenic structure of the HIV gp120 envelope glycoprotein

TL;DR: The spatial organization of conserved neutralization epitopes on gp120 is described, using epitope maps in conjunction with the X-ray crystal structure of a ternary complex that includes a gp120 core, CD4 and a neutralizing antibody.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural Analysis of Substrate Binding by the Molecular Chaperone DnaK

TL;DR: The crystal structure of a peptide complex with the substrate-binding unit of DnaK has been determined at 2.0 Å resolution, which suggests a model of conformation-dependent substrate binding that features a latch mechanism for maintaining long lifetime complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural basis of cell-cell adhesion by cadherins.

TL;DR: A linear zipper of molecules that mirrors the linear structure of the intracellular filaments with which cadherins associate may provide a mechanism to marshal individual molecular adhesive interactions into strong bonds between cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determination of Macromolecular Structures from Anomalous Diffraction of Synchrotron Radiation

TL;DR: The problem of determining the three-dimensional structure of thousands of atoms is reduced to that of initially solving for a few anomalous scattering centers that can be used as a reference for developing the entire structure.
