TLDR
In this paper, a program for evaluating the solution scattering from macromolecules with known atomic structure is presented, which uses multipole expansion for fast calculation of the spherically averaged scattering pattern and takes into account the hydration shell.
Abstract
A program for evaluating the solution scattering from macromolecules with known atomic structure is presented. The program uses multipole expansion for fast calculation of the spherically averaged scattering pattern and takes into account the hydration shell. Given the atomic coordinates (e.g. from the Brookhaven Protein Data Bank) it can either predict the solution scattering curve or fit the experimental scattering curve using only two free parameters, the average displaced solvent volume per atomic group and the contrast of the hydration layer. The program runs on IBM PCs and on the major UNIX platforms.

Conformational dynamics modulate the catalytic activity of the molecular chaperone Hsp90.

TL;DR: It is shown that the conformational switching of conserved ion pairs between the N-terminal domain, harbouring the active site, and the middle domain strongly modulates the catalytic barrier of the ATP-hydrolysis reaction by electrostatic forces.

Crystal Versus Solution Structures of Thiamine Diphosphate-dependent Enzymes

TL;DR: The quaternary structures of the thiamine diphosphate-dependent enzymes transketolase, pyruvate oxidase, and pyruVate decarboxylase were examined and a clear correlation was observed between the magnitude of the distortions induced by the crystal environment and the interfacial area between subunits.

Structural Model for Covalent Adhesion of the Streptococcus pyogenes Pilus through a Thioester Bond

TL;DR: The crystal structure of spermidine-bound Cpa provides a model for the covalent attachment of Cpa to target receptors and thus the streptococcal pilus to host cells that mimics that used by the human complement system to eliminate pathogens.

Structure validation of the Josephin domain of ataxin-3: Conclusive evidence for an open conformation

TL;DR: The use of different complementary techniques, which include Bayesian methods and small angle scattering, are discussed, which are essential for validating the two currently available structures of the Josephin domain of ataxin-3, a protein involved in the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway and responsible for neurodegenerative spinocerebellar ataxia of type 3.
