From Sequence to Dynamics to Function: Computational Design of Allostery and Ligand Selectivity in G-Protein Coupled Receptors

The phenomenon of allostery, a general property in proteins that has been heralded as "the second secret of life" remains elusive to our understanding and even more challenging to incorporate into protein design. One example of allosteric proteins with gre ...

Computational rewiring of allosteric pathways reprograms GPCR selective responses to ligands

Patrick Daniel Barth, Mahdi Hijazi, Aurélien Laurent Jean-Charles Oggier, Dániel Kéri

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest class of cell surface receptors and drug targets, and respond to a wide variety of chemical stimuli to activate diverse cellular functions. Understanding and predicting how ligand binding triggers a speci ...
