The Role of Protein Loops and Linkers in Conformational Dynamics and Allostery.

TL;DR: A detailed overview of the structural properties and classification of loops and linkers, as well as a discussion of the main computational methods employed to investigate their function and dynamical properties are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

HingeProt: automated prediction of hinges in protein structures.

TL;DR: The method employs the Elastic Network Model, which is very efficient and was validated against a large data set of proteins, and can be used in applications such as flexible protein–protein and protein–ligand docking, flexible docking of protein structures into cryo‐EM maps, and refinement of low‐resolution EM structures.

Metal Binding Affinity and Selectivity in Metalloproteins: Insights from Computational Studies

TL;DR: The results herein reveal the fundamental principles and the molecular bases underlying protein-metal recognition, which serve as a guide to engineer novel metalloproteins with programmed properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural basis of gating by the outer membrane transporter FecA

TL;DR: The crystallographic structure of the integral outer membrane receptor FecA from Escherichia coli with and without ferric citrate is presented, establishing the structural basis of gating for receptors dependent on the cytoplasmic membrane protein TonB.

Crystal structure of the calcium pump of sarcoplasmic reticulum at 2.6 Å resolution

TL;DR: Comparison with a low-resolution electron density map of the enzyme in the absence of calcium and with biochemical data suggests that large domain movements take place during active transport.
Journal ArticleDOI

The open pore conformation of potassium channels.

TL;DR: Amino-acid sequence conservation suggests a common structural basis for gating in a wide range of K+ channels, both ligand- and voltage-gated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural changes in the calcium pump accompanying the dissociation of calcium

TL;DR: The structure of the enzyme stabilized by thapsigargin, a potent inhibitor, shows large conformation differences from that in E1Ca2+.
Journal ArticleDOI

The principle of gating charge movement in a voltage-dependent K + channel

TL;DR: It is concluded that the voltage-sensor paddles operate somewhat like hydrophobic cations attached to levers, enabling the membrane electric field to open and close the pore.
