The ensemble nature of allostery

HN Motlagh, JO Wrabl, J Li, VJ Hilser - Nature, 2014 - nature.com
Allostery is the process by which biological macromolecules (mostly proteins) transmit the
effect of binding at one site to another, often distal, functional site, allowing for regulation of …

Protein ensembles: how does nature harness thermodynamic fluctuations for life? The diverse functional roles of conformational ensembles in the cell

G Wei, W **, R Nussinov, B Ma - Chemical reviews, 2016 - ACS Publications
