Surveying biomolecular frustration at atomic resolution
To function, biomolecules require sufficient specificity of interaction as well as stability to live
in the cell while still being able to move. Thermodynamic stability of only a limited number of …

On the role of frustration in the energy landscapes of allosteric proteins
Natural protein domains must be sufficiently stable to fold but often need to be locally
unstable to function. Overall, strong energetic conflicts are minimized in native states …

Frustration, specific sequence dependence, and nonlinearity in large-amplitude fluctuations of allosteric proteins
Proteins have often evolved sequences so as to acquire the ability for regulation via
allosteric conformational change. Here we investigate how allosteric dynamics is designed …
