The proteasome - paradigm of a self-compartmentalizing protease

TL;DR: The work of one of us (W. B.) was supported by a grant of the Human Frontiers Science Program and the wish to thank Drs.

Principles of protein folding--a perspective from simple exact models.

TL;DR: These studies suggest the possibility of creating “foldable” chain molecules other than proteins, and can account for the properties that characterize protein folding: two‐state cooperativity, secondary and tertiary structures, and multistage folding kinetics.

Coupling of local folding to site-specific binding of proteins to DNA

TL;DR: Estimates of the number of residues that fold on binding obtained from this analysis agree with structural data, and structural comparisons indicate that these local folding transitions create key parts of the protein-DNA interface.

Insights into Protein-Protein Binding by Binding Free Energy Calculation and Free Energy Decomposition for the Ras-Raf and Ras-RalGDS Complexes

TL;DR: This study investigates the capability of the molecular mechanics-generalized Born surface area (GBSA) approach to estimate absolute binding free energies for the protein-protein complexes and finds hotspot residues experience a significantly larger-than-average decrease in local fluctuations upon complex formation.

Knowledge-based scoring function to predict protein-ligand interactions

TL;DR: The development and validation of a new knowledge-based scoring function (DrugScore) to describe the binding geometry of ligands in proteins is presented and is superior to the "chemical scoring" implemented into this tool, while comparable results are obtained using the "energy scoring" in DOCK.
