Biochemistry on a leash: the roles of tether length and geometry in signal integration proteins

D Van Valen, M Haataja, R Phillips - Biophysical journal, 2009 - cell.com
We use statistical mechanics and simple ideas from polymer physics to develop a
quantitative model of proteins whose activity is controlled by flexibly tethered ligands and …

Dissecting entropic coiling and poor solvent effects in protein collapse

F Grater, P Heider, R Zangi… - Journal of the American …, 2008 - ACS Publications
The early events in protein collapse and folding are guided by the protein's elasticity. The
contributions of entropic coiling and poor solvent effects like hydrophobic forces to the …
