HIV-1 protease folding and the design of drugs which do not create resistance

RA Broglia, Y Levy, G Tiana - Current opinion in structural biology, 2008 - Elsevier
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease (PR) plays an essential role in the

The energy landscapes of repeat-containing proteins: topology, cooperativity, and the folding funnels of one-dimensional architectures

DU Ferreiro, AM Walczak, EA Komives… - PLoS computational …, 2008 - journals.plos.org
Repeat-proteins are made up of near repetitions of 20–to 40–amino acid stretches. These
polypeptides usually fold up into non-globular, elongated architectures that are stabilized by …

Changes of protein folding pathways by circular permutation: overlapping nuclei promote global cooperativity

E Haglund, MO Lindberg, M Oliveberg - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2008 - ASBMB
The evolved properties of proteins are not limited to structure and stability but also include
their propensity to undergo local conformational changes. The latter, dynamic property is …
