Structure and dynamics of molecular networks: A novel paradigm of drug discovery: A comprehensive review

TL;DR: It is shown how network techniques can help in the identification of single-target, edgetic, multi-target and allo-network drug target candidates and an optimized protocol of network-aided drug development is suggested, and a list of systems-level hallmarks of drug quality is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induced fit, conformational selection and independent dynamic segments: an extended view of binding events

TL;DR: It is argued that protein segments whose dynamics are distinct from the rest of the protein ('discrete breathers') can govern conformational transitions and allosteric propagation that accompany binding processes and, as such, might be more sensitive to mutational events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Allosteric regulation and catalysis emerge via a common route.

TL;DR: In this review, conformational mobility as the common route between allosteric regulation and catalysis is discussed, and recent experimental data and the resulting insights into allostery within proteins are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Topological analysis and interactive visualization of biological networks and protein structures

TL;DR: This protocol describes three workflows based on the NetworkAnalyzer and RINalyzer plug-ins for Cytoscape, a popular software platform for networks, to perform a topological analysis of biological networks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular dynamics simulations and novel drug discovery.

TL;DR: In this review, the authors review the applications of MD simulations in novel drug discovery, including the pathogenic mechanisms of amyloidosis diseases, virtual screening and the interaction mechanisms between drugs and targets.

Collective dynamics of small-world networks

TL;DR: Simple models of networks that can be tuned through this middle ground: regular networks ‘rewired’ to introduce increasing amounts of disorder are explored, finding that these systems can be highly clustered, like regular lattices, yet have small characteristic path lengths, like random graphs.

Emergence of Scaling in Random Networks

TL;DR: A model based on these two ingredients reproduces the observed stationary scale-free distributions, which indicates that the development of large networks is governed by robust self-organizing phenomena that go beyond the particulars of the individual systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complex networks: Structure and dynamics

TL;DR: The major concepts and results recently achieved in the study of the structure and dynamics of complex networks are reviewed, and the relevant applications of these ideas in many different disciplines are summarized, ranging from nonlinear science to biology, from statistical mechanics to medicine and engineering.
Journal ArticleDOI

Network biology: understanding the cell's functional organization

TL;DR: This work states that rapid advances in network biology indicate that cellular networks are governed by universal laws and offer a new conceptual framework that could potentially revolutionize the view of biology and disease pathologies in the twenty-first century.

Uncovering the overlapping community structure of complex networks in nature and society

TL;DR: After defining a set of new characteristic quantities for the statistics of communities, this work applies an efficient technique for exploring overlapping communities on a large scale and finds that overlaps are significant, and the distributions introduced reveal universal features of networks.
